Staff/Principal Software Engineer - Medical Imaging & Robotics
ABOUT SHIFAMED
Founded in 2009 by serial entrepreneur Amr Salahieh, Shifamed LLC is a privately held medical technology incubator focused on the development of novel medical products to address clinical needs in the rapidly evolving fields of cardiology and ophthalmology.
Description:
As a Staff/Principal Software Engineer, you will engineer the intelligence behind a revolutionary robotic platform with ultrasound imaging and AI for interventional cardiology. You will work at the challenging intersection where software meets physics-designing the real-time motion planning, fault-tolerant controls, and system integrations that make our device safe and precise. This is not just about writing code; it is about owning critical subsystems of a life-saving device. You will drive technical decisions, build high-fidelity simulations, and deliver production-grade software that translates complex algorithms into clinical reality.
Responsibilities, Skills & Hands-On Experience:
- Utilize expertise in C++ to craft high-quality and efficient software solutions.
- Analyze requirements, design, and implement software for image guided robotics
- Develop and execute comprehensive software testing frameworks, leveraging debugging tools for issue identification and resolution.
- Define standards and best practices for Software Development Life Cycle Process
- Utilize and develop software for real-time systems for safe and fault-tolerant software applications.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to design and implement automation systems within an FDA-compliant Quality Management System (QMS)
- Implement and optimize software modules for path planning, kinematics, and sensor integration, and simulations for testing and development.
- Evaluate new and emerging designs, technologies, and components
Preferred Skills & Hands-On Experience:
- Experience developing software under FDA Quality System Regulations and IEC 62304 processes for Class II or Class III medical devices.
- Experience implementing ROS or ROS2 systems.
- Familiarity with Linux development and system maintenance.
