Developing high integrity software to drive novel healthcare devices

A varied and fulfilling role developing embedded software in C and C++ to power medical devices, this role may appeal to an experienced embedded developer keen to use their skills to make a positive impact.

Joining this Cambridge-based multi-disciplinary engineering team, you will be involved throughout the product development lifecycle. Liaising with clients and colleagues throughout, you will contribute to requirement definition, prototyping, architecting, software implementation, and ultimately device integration and verification.

You will need:

* Commercial embedded software development experience in C and/or C++ for Linux (and ideally RTOS)

* Python scripting skills for creating software tools and automated tests. Qt expertise is not essential but would be welcome

* Strong written and verbal communication, teamworking, and problem-solving skills, plus a good understanding of software engineering best practices such as version control with Git. Experience with IEC 62304 would be a bonus

* Full existing UK work permission without time limit or sponsorship

Projects will be varied and challenging, providing long term scope to pick up new skills and to advance professionally whilst making a direct impact on the lives of patients. This role is fully on-site with occasional opportunities to travel internationally to visit clients or suppliers. The company have a collaborative and supportive culture and a competitive salary is on offer to the successful candidate.
