Systems Engineer - SaMD

About Us

At Prenuvo, we are on a mission to flip the paradigm from reactive “sick-care” to proactive health care. Our award-winning whole body scan is fast (under 1 hour), safe (MRI has no ionizing radiation), and non-invasive (no contrast). Our unique integrated stack of optimized hardware, software, and increasingly AI, coupled with the patient-centric experience of our clinics across North America, have allowed us to lead the charge against “we caught it too late again.” Prenuvo operates preventative screening clinics in Vancouver, Silicon Valley, Dallas, Houston, Boca Raton, Minneapolis, Los Angeles, New York City, Buffalo, Bethesda, Chicago, and Atlanta, with more clinics in North America and internationally in the next 2 years.

• Proficiency in system architecture design, risk management, and validation processes for SaMD.
• Familiarity with software development lifecycle (SDLC) methodologies, Agile processes, and DevOps.
• Experience with medical image processing, data security, and HIPAA/GDPR compliance is a plus.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to work in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to translate complex technical information for cross-functional teams.
