Eirr Medical

Reykjavik, Iceland

Embedded Developer · Nov 2024 — Present

  • // Led MCU and wireless module selection for an AI-enabled embedded device, evaluating trade-offs between ultra-low standby power, on-device machine learning inference capability, and required peripheral interfaces under hardware security constraints
  • // Implemented Ceedling/Unity/CMock testing framework, and GitLab CI/CD integration for reproducible builds and enabling automated MISRA-C static analysis and unit test coverage in a regulated IEC 62304 development environment
  • // Designed firmware architecture for a Class 1 medical device using STM32N6 microcontroller with ThreadX RTOS, implementing message queue-based IPC with defined task responsibilities and safety classification rationale compliant with IEC 62304
  • // Designed a low-power custom PCB around an ESP32S3 to autonomously monitor device usage events over 24-hour cycles, reporting telemetry via MQTT through AWS Lambda to S3
  • // Trained and benchmarked real-time object detection models (YOLO6, YOLO11, YOLOv8, RT-DETR) for Raspberry Pi 5 deployment using AWS, applying data augmentation and hyperparameter sweeps to optimize inference accuracy within edge compute constraints
  • // Created testing equipment for testing the efficiency of pumps and different liquids leading to increased throughput and faster evaluations
