Software Engineer

The Software Engineer participates in requirements, design, development, integration, and testing of software systems used to create, store, optimize, and manage patient treatment plans. The Software engineer collaborates in a complex environment integrating software with other software and hardware subsystems for an advanced medical device. Our work has a daily impact on patients worldwide, and we hold a high bar for quality and rigor.

REPORTING TO/DEPARTMENT:

Reports to the Manager, Delivery Software

ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Software Development (Build, Extend, Maintain)

Develop and maintain software that supports the lifecycle of a complex radiation therapy medical device.

Write high-quality, reliable code that fulfills product and subsystem requirements in a complex clinical domain.

Implement automated tests (unit/integration as appropriate) to validate functionality and reduce regressions.

Contribute to sustaining engineering by troubleshooting, participating in root-cause analysis, and resolving issues found in new or existing functionality.

Software Design & Architecture (Make the System Better)

Directly impact the development and architecture of software that creates, stores, optimizes and delivers patient treatments.

Drive critical design and implementation decisions and participate in design discussions for complex systems.

Present concise designs through written and oral reviews; contribute to clear documentation of designs, decisions, and outcomes.

Contribute to subsystem requirements and verification approaches for new features.

Performance & Computational Solutions (Accuracy + Responsiveness)

Participate in decisions affecting high-performance computation solutions to provide responsive and accurate results that meet clinical expectations.

Collaborate on technology choices (e.g., languages/libraries, compute approaches) to support performance, maintainability, and testability.

Quality, Compliance, and Ways of Working

Work closely with team members to implement quality applications that meet or exceed rigorous testing expectations.

Operate effectively in a regulated industry with strict process requirements; document work and follow the defined development processes.

Support continuous improvement efforts (e.g., coding standards, code reviews, test coverage, build/test automation) to increase engineering efficiency without sacrificing quality.

Collaboration & Technical Contribution

Collaborate across disciplines (software, systems, test, product, clinical/field stakeholders as needed) to deliver integrated solutions.

Cross-pollinate the team with theory and practice of software development, object-oriented design, and computer languages.

Proactively share information and communicate technical status, risks, and decisions to the right audience at the right level of detail.

Travel

Some travel (<10%) may be required.
