Director of Software

Our company is designing and developing state-of-the-art electrophysiology research instrumentation, integrated medical devices, and wireless/wearable assistive technologies for research laboratories, clinicians, and patients. We have been working in these areas over the last 6 years, and have created a significant knowledge base and portfolio of functional prototypes, some of which have been verified in clinical trials. Now that we are ready to bring these products to market, we need to move from prototyping in MATLAB/LabVIEW to robust consumer-level interface and control software and hardware. We have great electrical, RF, and mechanical engineers, but need to build out the software team.

We are looking for a driven, truly full-stack software engineer with experience across embedded, mobile, desktop, and backend development environments. You will work with the CTO to choose the tech stack, create the software architecture, and lead development of the ARM-based firmware, Windows desktop software, and Android apps. You will be responsible for developing communication protocols between these devices and integrating them with custom and commercially-available platforms, such as Raspberry Pi, as well as assistive frameworks from Microsoft, Google, and various smart home products. Initially you will be the primary developer with one or two junior developers working under you. As the company/ project grows, you will help build the team. This is a demanding job and requires someone who is able to work in a variety of roles and across software-hardware disciplines. You will have to create the roadmap towards the ultimate goals, make a detailed plan, and have the ability to execute it, and make it happen.

Duties and Responsibilities

●      Choose the tech stack and architect the software framework

●      Lead the development team and help it grow as additional funding arrives

●      Develop communication protocol between implantable/wearable devices and desktop/mobile devices. Modify firmware to support this protocol and write drivers for android and Windows.

●      Integrate hardware devices into Android and Window’s real-time high priority frameworks

●      Create GUI for data acquisition, managing settings, and calibration of the system

●      Create a testing process/framework to deliver a robust system with high uptime and few bugs

●      Develop interfaces to other existing research instruments, smart home devices, wheelchairs, etc.

●      Work with scientists, researchers, clinicians, patients, caregivers, and end-users to improve performance, functionality, and user-friendly interface

●      Help ensure compliance with CE, FCC, FDA, and other regulations in the US, Europe, and Asia

Required Skills

●      Ambitious, self-directed, and well-motivated. Able to function independently, and yet in sync with the rest of the team. This is a startup, the work is challenging, but also intellectually engaging, and you will be rewarded well

●      Minimum BS in EE/CS or related field

●      3+ years of relevant industry experience

●      Experience with C++, Java, and C#. Able to understand MATLAB and LabVIEW code

●      Android and Windows development background

●      Experience developing embedded software, especially on ARM-based microcontrollers

●      Backend services development for long-term monitoring and providing services

●      Medical device experience preferred, but not required

●      Strong communication skills for creating documentation and architecting software

●      Creativity, problem-solving, accepting responsibility, and teamwork
