• Translate clinical, regulatory, and product requirements into scalable and maintainable software implementations.
• Implement established design patterns, componentization, interfaces, and data models.
• Participate in software design and technical reviews and contribute to architectural decisions and trade-offs.
• Ensure software implementation is traceable to requirements and supports risk management and safety-related design activities.
• Develop software in compliance with medical device regulations and software lifecycle processes, including ISO 13485, IEC 60601-1, and MDR/IVDR as applicable.
• Consider safety, reliability, performance, cybersecurity, and fail-safe behavior during software development.
• Develop and integrate software components for hardware-software integration, drivers, middleware, real-time constraints, and platform portability.
• Perform code reviews and ensure effective code quality, testing, and software design documentation.
• Collaborate with UX/UI, QA, regulatory, hardware, and clinical teams to align software implementation with user needs and validation plans.
• Develop and maintain software design artifacts, component documentation, interface specifications, NFRs, and API specifications.
• Identify and communicate technical risks and contribute to mitigation plans, reuse strategies, and platformization where feasible.

Required Qualifications
