In this role, you will contribute to a breakthrough cardiac ultrasound imaging solution that revolutionizes minimally invasive image-guided therapies for patients undergoing complex life-saving trans-catheter cardiac procedures. This is a hands-on C++ development role for systems applications, not on the embedded side.
Your role:
Work on a collaborative, interdisciplinary, and experienced medical device R&D team, tasked with inventing and launching the next generation of intra-cardiac products and systems for our Image Guided Therapies devices business.
Work on exciting innovations that involves taking ideas and building them into fully functional prototypes. As ideas iterate, translate functional prototypes into production quality applications.
Design, implement and document clinical-quality software for the R&D and user facing subsystem of a novel intra-cardiac imaging device in a medical-regulated environment with focus on C++ implementation and integration in an Image-guidance system. Experience with Python is also required.
Participate in software design discussions and code reviews (both internal and multi-functional) for customer centric features and workflows; coordinate with external software contributors, and follow quality & regulatory processes (ISO13485, ISO14971, IEC 62304).
You're the right fit if:
You’ve acquired 5+ years of professional experience in developing C++ software, preferably in medical devices / imaging.
You have a BS, or MS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Software Engineering, or equivalent.
You are highly skilled in C++, Python and Windows OS, and experienced with common application frameworks and libraries (multi-threading, GUI, etc.), and modern dev tools and toolchains (VS Pro, NuGet, CMake, SonarQube, etc.).
You have direct experience Open CV, VTK, ITK, etc. (image-processing, computer vision, advance visualization, etc.).
Experience in R&D prototyping, hands-on design, development and troubleshooting of user-facing applications, including relevant design patterns and data structures and architectures for distributed applications, and CI/CD pipelines. Experience in translating system and customer needs into requirements and breaking them down into implementable interfaces and building blocks.
You must be able to successfully perform the following minimum Physical, Cognitive and Environmental job requirements with or without accommodation for this position, including 10% travel.
