Job description

Overview

We are working with a U.S.-based medical device company developing point-of-care diagnostic systems that will be used in hospital laboratories across the U.S. and EU. Their core product delivers coagulation results in minutes rather than hours, supporting treatment decisions for patients on anticoagulant therapies. They are hiring a Software Engineer to work directly on the embedded software that runs on these deployed diagnostic devices. This is a product-facing role: code written in this position ships to regulated medical hardware used daily in clinical environments.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain embedded and application-level software for a point-of-care diagnostic device
• Implement features in ANSI C++ using Qt5 on a Linux-based touchscreen system
• Interface software with hardware components including optical sensors, barcode scanners, USB devices, heaters, and accelerometers
• Work daily with hardware engineers and assay scientists to align software behavior with physical and biochemical constraints
• Write and maintain design documentation, test plans, and verification reports required for regulated medical devices
• Support debugging, system testing, and production software tools
• Participate in software risk analysis and verification activities under FDA / ISO quality systems

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, or a related field
• 2–5 years of experience writing production C++ code
• Familiarity with Qt (Qt5 preferred) or equivalent C++ GUI frameworks
• Experience working close to hardware (peripherals, sensors, device interfaces)
• Ability to troubleshoot issues spanning software, electronics, and physical devices
