  • Design, develop, test and maintain high-quality Embedded software applications using C and C++ programming languages.
  • Design, develop, and validate algorithms for signal processing, real-time control (e.g., closed-loop energy delivery, motor and thermal control), and sensor fusion and tracking.
  • Prototype and evaluate algorithms in MATLAB or Python, characterize performance against bench and clinical data, and implement them as efficient, production-quality C/C++ on resource-constrained targets.
  • Define algorithm requirements, performance metrics, and acceptance criteria, and document design rationale, verification results, and known limitations in accordance with design controls.
  • Work closely with the cross-functional team consisting of Systems, Electrical, Marketing, Manufacturing, Design Assurance, Service team etc. on system behavior, sensor and control requirements, and graphical user interface (GUI) design, and ensure that they meet the user needs and expectations.

  • Adhere to the best practices for software development, testing, documentation, and code review and ensure that the software meets the quality standards and requirements.
  • Support and provide constructive feedback on the architecture and design of the project and suggest improvements and enhancements.
  • Identify and resolve software issues and bugs and provide technical support to the users.
  • Explore and assess new technologies and tools that can improve software quality and performance and integrate them into the software development process.
  • Communicate clearly and effectively with internal and external stakeholders such as users, clients, vendors, etc. and provide regular updates on the project status and progress.
  • Demonstrate flexibility to work on multiple projects simultaneously and prioritize tasks accordingly.
  • Ability to lead and drive software modules and algorithm components to completion and ensure that they meet the project objectives and goals.
  • Write clear and concise software requirements based on systems requirements and specifications.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
