Medical Device Engineer, Software

Technology developed by this Cambridge team has already made a major impact in the world, enabling rapid characterisation of pathogens, minimising delays and helping focus resources where they're needed. A mission-driven company, they are seeking a similarly motivated team member to assist them in bringing software development in-house, and further developing their product's capabilities and application areas.

This role encompasses the full technical stack, from embedded software driving diagnostic hardware through to a mobile app for user control and data presentation. This is a key role that will form the nucleus of a growing software team. You will be involved in all software engineering and work planning activities, but will act as a liaison for other stakeholders and the software domain expert within the organisation.

With the company still very much in its start-up phase, you may occasionally need to assist in other areas of the business when necessary.

You will need:

• A good academic background with a 1st or 2.1 in Computer Science or similar from a well-respected university (a relevant PhD or post-graduate research experience would be desirable)
• Broad software engineering skills spanning embedded, middleware, and mobile app development
• Expertise in Android, React Native, LAMP, MariaDB, and development in C for middleware and embedded RTOS (Cortex-M processors)
• Python and C# for tools development
• Experience of working within a regulated environment, preferably IVDD or IVDR
• An appreciation of cybersecurity considerations

This is a challenging role calling for broad software engineering expertise and excellent communications skills. On offer is the opportunity to becoming part of a world-leading team and make a positive impact to humanity. A highly competitive salary and benefits package is on offer to the successful candidate.
