Job description

The Principal Desktop UI Software Engineer (Qt/QML) will be a key player in the Mapping and Ablation System Software Team, working on cutting‑edge technology in the electrophysiology field. This role is pivotal in designing and developing intuitive, user‑friendly interfaces that enhance the usability and functionality of our advanced medical devices.

The ideal candidate should have extensive experience designing, developing, and testing real‑time high‑performance visualization software applications. They will take ownership of critical software features, collaborating closely with other engineering teams to bring these features to life.

The Mapping and Ablation System is an innovative medical technology designed to treat patients with cardiac arrhythmias. The system involves advanced mapping techniques to create detailed images of the heart’s electrical activity, helping physicians identify abnormal areas causing arrhythmias. Once identified, the Ablation System delivers targeted energy to disrupt these abnormal signals, restoring normal heart rhythm.
