Job Description

Developing high integrity real-time software for medical device applications

Due to continued success, this Cambridge based creator of medical systems is seeking an exceptional C++ software engineer to join their engineering team. In this role you would be involved from the outset with a wide variety of beneficial high-technology healthcare devices.

You will be liaising closely with clients, and working alongside colleagues from disciplines such as electronics and mechanical engineering, so excellent communications skills, problem-solving ability, and initiative will be needed. Your software expertise will allow you to design and implement dependable real-time control systems, intuitive user interfaces, and interfaces to integrate seamlessly with healthcare data repositories. Due to the client-facing nature of the role, some UK and international travel is expected.

You will need:

  * A good degree (2.1 or above) in Computer Science, Electronics, or similarly applicable engineering degree together with strong supporting pre-university grades (mostly A* or As at A-level, or equivalent)

  * Substantial commercial experience of developing real-time, multithreaded software in C++ for Linux

  * Coding skills in Python for developing automated tests and tools

  * Familiarity with Git-based version control and unit test frameworks such as GoogleTest

  * Some experience of working on medical software development, in particular knowledge of IEC 62304 would be useful. Experience in another highly regulated industry may be applicable.

Not essential, but we would value experience using the Qt Framework, comms protocols (e.g. UART, SPI, I2C, TCP-IP, or USB), CI/CD tooling, or medical health record formats such as HL7FHIR.

This is a great opportunity to apply your coding expertise to good effect on a wide variety of challenging projects whilst helping bring beneficial technologies to market. The role is based at the company's pleasant offices close to Cambridge. A competitive salary and benefits package is on offer, including assistance with relocation, if applicable. There is scope for hybrid working for part of the week though you would need to live (or relocate) within a comfortable commute should the work require you to be on-site.
