## Description

Our PrisMax systems are used in intensive care units worldwide to support critically ill patients experiencing acute kidney injury and other conditions requiring continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). As an Engineer I on the Embedded Software team, you will contribute to the development and maintenance of software that powers these life-sustaining systems.

Working alongside experienced software, systems, electrical, quality, cybersecurity, and verification engineers, you will help design, implement, test, and maintain embedded software solutions throughout the product lifecycle. This role is ideal for a recent graduate or early-career engineer seeking hands-on experience developing software for regulated medical devices.

What You'll Be Doing:

 * Design, implement, and maintain embedded software features and enhancements for the PrisMax platform.

 * Support software development activities from requirements through implementation, integration, verification, release, and sustaining engineering.

 * Participate in software architecture discussions, design reviews, and code reviews.

 * Develop unit tests and support automated testing initiatives.

 * Investigate, troubleshoot, and resolve software defects using structured root cause analysis techniques.

 * Collaborate with systems engineers to understand product requirements and maintain traceability between requirements, design, implementation, and testing.

 * Support risk management activities including hazard analysis and software-related mitigations.

 * Assist with software verification and validation activities in compliance with medical device regulations and standards.

 * Work closely with electrical and systems engineering teams to diagnose hardware/software integration issues.

 * Contribute to cybersecurity, reliability, and performance improvements across the platform.

 * Support design history file (DHF) documentation and engineering deliverables required within a regulated development environment.

 * Participate in Agile planning, estimation, and sprint execution activities., Vantive is committed to supporting the need for flexibility in the workplace. We do so through our flexible workplace policy which includes a minimum of 3 days a week onsite. This policy provides the benefits of connecting and collaborating in-person in support of our Mission.
