Global Medtech Executive Recruitment : Start-up -> Fortune 500 : IC -> C-Level : Emerging Medtech Trends & Insights

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Sr. C++ Real-Time Software Engineer to join our multidisciplinary R&D team developing a next-generation robotic surgical platform.

Ideal profile will be a very well tenured embedded real-time software engineer who can define and guide safety critical software architecture for our surgical robot control system, as well as being our leading expert on the C++ language.

Experience

• Strong preference for medical, but other safety critical industries would be considered.

• At least 5 years of professional C++, preferably more.
• Deep understanding of real time multi-threaded / multi-processor design patterns and proved ability to pick the right design.
• C++ language expert – deep understanding of the language and ability to define coding standards and appropriate language subsets for safety critical use.
• Ability to use risk analysis and knowledge of the ‘state of the art’ to create an appropriate software safety concept and to contribute to the system safety concept.
• Extensive RTOS experience (particularly QNX and Linux PREEMPT-RT) for safety critical software.

Highly Desirable Skills

• Experience of cyber security principles and the documentation/analysis needed to demonstrate compliance with the FDA’s cybersecurity guidance.
• Developing software to IEC 62304 class C and the application of ISO 14971 to complex software-controlled medical devices.
• Docker and Yocto for containerisation and OS config.
• Ideally also broader safety critical systems experience e.g. IEC 61508 or ISO 26262
• Common communications protocols such as EtherCAT, CAN, RS485 etc
