Functie / Function:
Our company is dedicated to making babies lives happier from day one. Every year, an estimated 15 million babies are born preterm (before 37 completed weeks of gestation), and this number is increasing! Preterm babies are extremely vulnerable, and their health is at risk of deteriorating. It is vital to keep them warm in incubators and to monitor their vital signs like ECG and respiration. Currently, this is done through adhesive electrodes and wires. Placing and repositioning of these electrodes is painful and stressful for the child, while the wires are limiting the freedom of movement for the baby, users, and parents.
We have created a technical solution to overcome these issues. Our solution brings wireless monitoring of these babies to the Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU). Out solution reduces stress and pain to the patients, offers easier workflow for the hospital personnel, and stimulates the parent-baby bonding by offering an easier way to the parents for performing Kangaroo Care, the skin-to-skin contact that helps all babies and their parents.
We’ve established the company as a leading developer of innovative solutions for preterm babies, and we’re looking for a highly skilled embedded software engineer to join our technical design team and to lead the embedded software development. The ideal candidate will have expert knowledge of (medical) software development processes, along with solid experience in algorithms development, testing, and evaluating embedded systems. This person should be highly motivated in finding technical issues and fixing them with meticulous code.
Objectives and responsibilities of this role
- Leading (owning) the (embedded) software development for medical devices
- Developing and maintaining state-of-the-art embedded algorithms
- Design feasibility of potential new solutions, options, and taking decisions on execution
- Defect management and root cause analysis, debugging and problem solving
- Compliance with the design process, including quality assurance and design reviews
- Compliance with the quality system, internal quality system processes, and contribute to the creation and maintenance of those processes
- Provide support to the technical roadmap and advance research activities
- Support in IP activities
Required skills and qualifications
- Master’s degree (or levelobtained by experience) in embedded software, information technology, mathematics, or any other relevant education
- Relevant experience (>5 years) in a R&D role for developing class C Medical Software (according to IEC 62304)
- Hands-on experience in C/C++, FreeRTOS, and industry standard programming toolchains
- Strong knowledge and experience with Medical Regulatory Requirements associated with design controls - IEC 62304, ISO 13485, ISO 14971, and MDR.
- Demonstrated capability to conduct and lead technical reviews of software design elements.
- Knowledge of tools and processes related to system configuration management from specifications development, traceability, version control, defect tracking and field feedback.
- Ability to work independently and as part of a group, with excellent written and oral communication skills
