Senior Mobile Architect: iOS/Android/Flutter, BLE & NFC

USA-MiniMed Distribution Corp. 1018; Los Angeles (CA); Hybrid; USD 150,000 - 230,000; Full time

Job summary

MiniMed Distribution Corp. is seeking an experienced Mobile Architect to define and lead the mobile architecture for next‑generation MedTech products and connected medical devices. Join a team supporting regulated healthcare environments with iOS, Android, Flutter, BLE, and NFC integrations.

The role covers architecture strategy, device interoperability, and a hybrid work model across multiple US locations, with travel to Northridge headquarters. Strong technical leadership is essential.

Responsibilities

• Establish architectural patterns, frameworks, coding standards, reusable components, and engineering best practices.
• Define the overall mobile architecture strategy across iOS, Android, and Flutter.
• Determine when functionality should be implemented natively versus Flutter.
• Design scalable architectures supporting multiple device types, and product lines.
• Lead technical design reviews and architectural decisions across mobile engineering teams.
• Identify technical risks, dependencies, scalability concerns, and opportunities for modernization.
• Mentor senior engineers and provide technical direction across mobile development teams.
• Provide architectural leadership for Swift/SwiftUI/UIKit applications on iOS.
• Provide architectural leadership for Kotlin/Jetpack Compose/Android SDK applications.
• Define platform‑specific abstractions and integrations where native capabilities are required.
• Establish strategies for handling OS-version differences, device fragmentation, background execution, permissions, and lifecycle management.
• Guide teams in building high-performance, resilient mobile applications.
• Define and maintain a scalable Flutter/Dart architecture for cross‑platform applications.
• Establish patterns for state management, dependency injection, navigation, networking, persistence, and native platform integration.
• Design Flutter-to-native bridges and platform channels for capabilities that require iOS or Android APIs.
• Determine appropriate boundaries between shared Flutter code and native platform implementations.
• Establish reusable Flutter components and shared mobile libraries.
• Architect reliable communication between mobile applications and BLE-enabled medical devices and sensors.
• Design BLE discovery, pairing, connection, service/characteristic management, data exchange, reconnection, and error-handling strategies.
• Work with device engineering teams to define and consume BLE GATT profiles and protocols.
• Address BLE challenges including background operation, connection stability, intermittent connectivity, device state management, and power consumption.
• Design robust handling of medical‑device telemetry, commands, configuration, and firmware‑related workflows.
• Collaborate on device interoperability and end‑to‑end connectivity testing.
• Architect mobile integrations with NFC-enabled medical devices, accessories, tags, and authentication workflows.
• Work with iOS Core NFC and Android NFC APIs.
• Design secure NFC communication and data exchange patterns.
• Address platform‑specific NFC capabilities and limitations.
• Ensure appropriate handling of device discovery, authentication, validation, and error scenarios.
• Design mobile solutions appropriate for regulated healthcare and medical‑device environments.
• Apply secure development practices for protected health information (PHI), personally identifiable information (PII), credentials, device data, and authentication tokens.
• Partner with security, quality, regulatory, and clinical teams to ensure architecture supports applicable requirements.
• Contribute to software lifecycle processes, risk management, traceability, validation, and documentation as required for medical‑device software.
• Design secure storage, encryption, authentication, authorization, certificate/key management, and secure communications.
• Ensure mobile architecture supports auditability, observability, and controlled software releases.
• Define mobile integration patterns for REST/GraphQL
