Garmin Canada has exciting opportunities for full-time software engineers who have a hunger for solving real-world problems with embedded systems. As a member of our biosensors team, you will design software algorithms to measure industry leading biometrics such as wrist based optical heart rate and SpO2. This team’s work is currently in over 40 wearables, providing essential features for Garmin’s customers. You will integrate biometric measurements into wearable products to enable compelling features while also pushing the boundaries on size, power and value. You will work directly with others across Garmin’s product segments, including Fitness and Outdoor, and be responsible for creating, productizing and maintaining new technologies for consumer products.
Software Engineers on the biosensors algorithm team will:
– Design innovative algorithms to measure biometrics such as heart rate and SpO2 from PPG signals
– Provide reliable solutions to a wide variety of difficult problems, ranging from signal processing in extremely low SNR environments, and statistical analysis of large noisy data sets, to runtime optimization to maximize battery life.
– Develop embedded software solutions, primarily in C, to be used throughout Garmin’s extensive ecosystem of consumer electronics products
– Participate in project leadership and/or program planning, including providing technical input to product development plans and concept documents, as part of Garmin’s global biosensors organization.
– Collaborate in peer code reviews and technical assessments in areas of expertise, providing comments and suggestions to support software designs and new technologies
– Mentor less-experienced Software Engineers, providing technical expertise and guidance
