Core Responsibilities

• Apply a thorough understanding of FDA regulations & IEC 62304 to bear on the safety and cybersecurity of software system designs.

• Provide detailed estimates in support of project milestones and software deliverables.
• Apply a unique feature-focused method of breaking down software system functionality; you’ll iteratively lead your software team through architecture, design, implementation, testing and integration of software features in an agile workflow.
• Provide leadership to a team of software engineers through work planning, task delegation, and coordination of execution against project milestones and budget.
• Design, implement and test project source code.
• Own the technical quality of all software artifacts – ensuring architectural integrity, code quality and design robustness through technical reviews, mentoring and leading by example.

• Familiarity with common Design Patterns is a bonus!
• Demonstrated proficiency in solving high-complexity software problems – including a methodical, reasoned approach to reproducing and fixing bugs.
• Graphical User Interface application development, including associated design patterns (e.g. MVC, MVVM, MVP) – ideally using the Qt Framework/QML.
• Microcontroller programming (ideally using ThreadX or other RTOS) including device driver development and use of debuggers, emulators, communication analyzers, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers.
• Expertise in software architecture, design and test (at the unit, integration and system levels).
