Job description

Help Build the Future of Connected Neonatal Care Our mission is simple: help send mothers and infants home healthy. The Infant Care team develops innovative medical technologies that support clinicians in Neonatal Intensive Care Units and Labor & Delivery departments worldwide. We build safe, reliable, and connected systems that enable critical clinical care for some of healthcare’s most vulnerable patients.

In this role you will develop the connectivity, interoperability, networking, and cybersecurity capabilities that allow medical devices to securely exchange patient information with hospital systems, central monitoring stations, and cloud-based management platforms.

The software you build will support clinicians caring for critically ill newborns and mothers, helping ensure critical patient information is available when it matters most., * Design, develop, and maintain connectivity software for connected medical devices.

  • Develop interoperability solutions supporting communication with hospital information systems.
  • Design and implement secure communication services using industry-standard networking and cybersecurity practices.
  • Develop and support fleet management, remote monitoring, and device management capabilities.
  • Implement and maintain wireless networking features for connected products.
  • Collaborate with systems, software, cybersecurity, quality, and clinical engineering teams.
  • Participate in architecture reviews, design reviews, and code reviews.
  • Support verification, validation, and regulatory compliance activities throughout the product lifecycle.
  • Investigate and resolve connectivity, interoperability, performance, and reliability issues.
  • Contribute to long-term platform architecture and technical strategy.

What Success Looks Like During Your First Year

  • Deliver production-ready connectivity and interoperability features.
  • Successfully integrate device software with hospital systems and external platforms.
  • Improve networking reliability, performance, and security.
