  • Design, build, test, and maintain software for medical devices and their engineering tools.
  • Write clean, maintainable code and the documentation that supports it, following established engineering practices.
  • Help integrate, debug, and troubleshoot embedded software, electronics, electromechanical parts, and device communication interfaces.

  • Join code reviews and help investigate defects, find root causes, and resolve product or field issues.
  • Work with Systems, Software Test, Quality, Manufacturing, Product Support, and other teams across the product lifecycle.
  • Contribute to regulated lifecycle documents such as requirements, design descriptions, test records, traceability records, and technical reports.
  • Follow the company's practices for software development, configuration management, cybersecurity, quality systems, DevOps, and Agile.
  • Explore modern engineering tools, including AI-assisted development tools. Check their output and remain responsible for the final work.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a closely related technical field.
  • 0 to 2 years of relevant experience. Internships, co-ops, research, capstone projects, academic work, or industry roles all count.
  • A grounding in software engineering principles, data structures, algorithms, and structured or object-oriented design.
  • Experience in at least one language such as C, C++, Python, or Java, gained through study, projects, internships, or work.
  • A basic working knowledge of software testing, debugging, source control, and configuration management.
  • Exposure to embedded software, real-time systems, microcontrollers, device communication, or hardware and software integration: preferred.
  • Familiarity with interfaces or protocols such as UART/RS232, SPI, I2C, CAN, USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth: helpful.
  • Exposure to regulated product development, medical devices, IEC 62304, ISO 13485, or FDA quality system rules: helpful but not required.
