• Design and implement modular software components, ensuring high standards of quality, maintainability, and performance.

Full Software Development Lifecycle

• Engage across the entire software development lifecycle, including high-level and detailed design, implementation, verification (automated and manual), and ongoing maintenance activities.

• Drive refactoring strategies to decouple tightly integrated systems and enable long-term modularity and reuse.

Requirements & Specifications

• Author clear and testable software requirements and detailed design specifications for modular components.

• Act as a feature lead by managing schedules, estimating effort, and overseeing implementation execution.

Testing & Verification

• Develop and execute unit, integration, and system-level tests to validate modular design and implementation throughout development cycles.

• Design and implement automated unit tests for modular components to ensure correctness, isolation, and long-term maintainability.

• Contribute to test strategies that support continuous integration and regression testing.

Quality & Compliance

• Apply technical expertise to ensure design and implementation compliance with GE Healthcare’s Quality Management System and regulated medical device standards.

Agile Collaboration

• Collaborate with cross-functional team members using Agile Scrum methodologies to deliver high-quality, modular software solutions.

Continuous Improvement

• Drive continuous improvement efforts by increasing development efficiency, reducing duplication, and enabling reuse through modular architecture.

Code Standards & Performance

• Write clean, well-structured code that meets established standards and delivers intended functionality.

• Analyze and optimize performance within modularized systems to ensure optimal application behavior.

Communication

• Proactively communicate technical information across teams, ensuring clarity, alignment, and timely information sharing.

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related discipline.

• 4+ years of professional experience in Software Engineering.

• Strong knowledge of Object-Oriented Analysis and Design and software design patterns.

• Strong C++ software design, implementation, and testing skills.

Desired Characteristics / Technical Expertise

• Experience designing and implementing modular, component-based software architectures.

• Strong experience with C++ unit testing frameworks such as Google Test (gtest) and Google Mock (gmock).

• Ability to independently own and deliver small-to-medium sized tasks while mentoring and supporting other engineers.

• Deep understanding of software reliability, fault detection/isolation, and performance optimization techniques.

• Proven experience developing software under regulated SDLC standards within the medical device industry.

• Familiarity with Agile development methodologies and software quality systems.

• Experience using modern version control systems (e.g., Git).

• Experience developing automated test cases in C++ using established testing frameworks.

• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.

• Must be willing to work onsite at least 3 days a week in Waukesha, Wisconsin.

• Prior experience in the medical (ultrasound) industry is preferred.
