Job title:
We are seeking an exceptional Software Engineer to join our core infrastructure team. While we build high-performance, high-stability, and low-latency medical data processing and reconstruction systems, prior experience in Computed Tomography (CT) or healthcare is not required. We are looking for highly intelligent, adaptable, and extremely self-motivated individuals who are willing to take on any technical task and learn then creatively apply what is needed to be successful. Despite delivering within the constraints of a regulated industry, we must win in a competitive, high-paced environment that demands the best from everyone on our team. You should possess deep expertise in low-level C++ development and be able to communicate technical concepts fluently within a multinational/diverse team environment where English is our common language.
Your role:
Focus on reconstruction infrastructure, inter-process communication, and system resource management.
Develop and maintain high-speed data acquisition systems, as well as raw data file storage and management.
Design and implement robust data flow architectures across the system.
Create and maintain installation packages, serviceability features, and diagnostic tools for field support.
Develop system simulators to enable comprehensive software testing and validation.
Manage system controls and interfaces, ensuring seamless communication between hardware and software components.
Write high-quality, maintainable, and compliant code adhering to medical device software standards; actively participate in rigorous code reviews.
Works closely and co-develops with other business unit platforms to create high quality working software to be deployed in products.
Investigate and fix product defects as needed, working with other team members to distribute as appropriate.
The position will be based in Shenyang.
You're the right fit if:
You have at least 5 years of experience with heavy exposure to a production C++ environment.
You have strong technical English communication skills; you are fully capable of reading technical documentation, writing clear commit messages, and actively participating in technical design discussions in English.
Your technical skills lean heavily on strong C++ proficiency (Modern C++11/14/17/20, STL, multi-threading, and memory management), with additional capability and experience in C#.
You have experience optimizing system I/O throughput, memory management, and concurrency performance to eliminate bottlenecks in low-latency and large-scale data processing.
You have the ability and desire to collaborate closely with global development teams, including the ones in the US, India, and China.
You have a bachelor’s degree (or above) in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, Biomedical, Electrical/Computer engineering or related fields.
