Requirements

  • Proficiency in multiple programming languages (for example, Python, C++, C-Sharp, JavaScript/TypeScript).
  • Hands-on experience in two or more of the following areas, with willingness to flex into others as projects demand: Full-stack web development (React, Node.js, cloud APIs).
  • Mobile application development (iOS/Swift, Android/Kotlin, react-native, or cross-platform frameworks).
  • AI (Generative, CV) — including algorithm development, model integration, or applied use cases.
  • Ability to design applications that process and visualize real-time data streams.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to structure and iterate on solutions in ambiguous contexts.
  • Experience applying software innovation in healthcare, robotics, or other complex technology domains.

Responsibilities

  • Prototype and evaluate software applications that integrate real-time robotics and sensor data.
  • Apply expertise in web development, mobile applications, and AI (Generative, CV) to create intelligent, adaptive, and impactful solutions.
  • Develop across multiple platforms, including web, mobile (iOS/Android), and cloud environments.
  • Break down complex technical challenges, propose solutions, and refine them through iterative development.
  • Apply a systems thinking approach to ensure solutions account for technology, users, and workflow integration.
  • Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams of engineers, researchers, and clinicians to translate early concepts into functional prototypes.
  • Maintain strong engineering practices, including modular architecture, testing, and documentation.

Other

  • 6+ years of professional software engineering experience, including at least 2+ years in an R&D, innovation, or exploratory environment.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Contributions to research publications, patents, or open-source projects.
  • Demonstrated ability to adapt quickly to new technologies and domains, bringing curiosity and creativity to problem solving.
  • Proven ability to apply a systems thinking approach when designing and evaluating complex solutions.
