Job description

You will work across the full application lifecycle, from design and development through testing, verification, and release. You will collaborate closely with firmware engineers, technical managers, clinical teams, end users, and Global Product Managers., * Develop, test, and maintain mobile and companion applications for connected medical devices.

  • Build intuitive and accessible user experiences for patients and clinicians.
  • Integrate applications with devices using Bluetooth Low Energy, backend services, databases, and APIs.
  • Contribute to cloud infrastructure using AWS or Microsoft Azure, including software deployment, data logging, database integration, and API development and maintenance.
  • Collaborate with firmware and electronics teams to deliver reliable end-to-end solutions.
  • Troubleshoot defects using logs, telemetry, and debugging tools, including root-cause analysis.
  • Apply software engineering best practices, including code reviews, automated testing, version control, and CI/CD.

Requirements

Nice to have

  • Experience in the medical device sector or another regulated environment.
