SUMMARY:

Typical tasks include the invention, demonstration of feasibility, and prototyping of control and communication software, research platforms, and features to support new products, as well as interfacing with end users, production software, and hardware development teams during the innovation, specification, and prototyping phases of product development. The member writes software, contributes to hardware architecture, interface and API specification, and develops prototypes to support research studies, and may interface with IC designers to evaluate product prototypes and adapt them to research needs. The member works in a highly innovative environment and is expected to produce intellectual property related to their work.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Design, testing, and evaluation of prototype control systems (requiring C#, c++, .net, Xamarin/Maui familiarity) with the appropriate documentation.
• Participate in all phases of research software prototyping, including: write feature specifications, test specifications, and design specifications for use in development projects.
• Determine technical approaches to achieving novel functionality within and expand the device architecture roadmap for research applications.
• Interface with hosted databases for device management, therapy performance assessment, and system health.
• Using best practices, generate and maintain software documentation required for the project according to the Company's policies and procedures.
• Collect, analyze, and evaluate research data using device prototypes.
• Transfer new concepts into intellectual property.
• Communicate the status and results of projects to division management teams.
• Provide input to optimize the applied research process with respect to efficiency, run-time and resources.
• Other duties may be assigned according to program needs.

QUALIFICATIONS:

Education / Experience Requirements:

• B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Computer Engineering, and/or Computer Science, or equivalent 5 years work experience in applied design.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills are required.
• Strategic thinking and analytical skills.
• Strong team player, self-motivated, self-directed, action oriented, able to learn quickly.

Additional Preferred Knowledge, Skills, Abilities:

• Experience with software development, cross-platform operating systems, Bluetooth communication.
• Experience developing software for implantable medical devices, or other critical infrastructure devices in high-reliability environments.
• Clear understanding of multi-layer software architecture and development, code management frameworks.
• Proven ability to develop new ideas to the level of a working system prototype.
• Ability to design, implement and debug code for real and virtual (simulated) systems.
• While medical system experience would be desired, it is not a minimum requirement for this role; we are prepared to train the right candidate in this regard.
• Medical device development/ISO 13485 experience.
