Staff/Principal Software Engineer - Medical Imaging & Robotics

ABOUT SHIFAMED

Founded in 2009 by serial entrepreneur Amr Salahieh, Shifamed LLC is a privately held medical technology incubator focused on the development of novel medical products to address clinical needs in the rapidly evolving fields of cardiology and ophthalmology.

Description:

As a Staff/Principal Software Engineer, you will engineer the intelligence behind a revolutionary robotic platform with ultrasound imaging and AI for interventional cardiology. You will work at the challenging intersection where software meets physics-designing the real-time motion planning, fault-tolerant controls, and system integrations that make our device safe and precise. This is not just about writing code; it is about owning critical subsystems of a life-saving device. You will drive technical decisions, build high-fidelity simulations, and deliver production-grade software that translates complex algorithms into clinical reality.

Responsibilities, Skills & Hands-On Experience:

• Utilize expertise in C++ to craft high-quality and efficient software solutions.
• Analyze requirements, design, and implement software for image guided robotics
• Develop and execute comprehensive software testing frameworks, leveraging debugging tools for issue identification and resolution.
• Define standards and best practices for Software Development Life Cycle Process
• Utilize and develop software for real-time systems for safe and fault-tolerant software applications.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to design and implement automation systems within an FDA-compliant Quality Management System (QMS)
• Implement and optimize software modules for path planning, kinematics, and sensor integration, and simulations for testing and development.
• Evaluate new and emerging designs, technologies, and components

Preferred Skills & Hands-On Experience:

• Experience developing software under FDA Quality System Regulations and IEC 62304 processes for Class II or Class III medical devices.
• Experience implementing ROS or ROS2 systems.
• Familiarity with Linux development and system maintenance.
• Familiarity with software testing frameworks and debugging tools.

Education & Work Experience:

• BS, MS, or PHD Degree in CS, EE, Robotics or equivalent experience in a related field
• Minimum of 8 years of relevant experience.
• Demonstrated ability to systematically troubleshoot and debug complex systems.
• Proficiency in programming using C++ and experience (design patterns, real time)
• Proven experience in robotic software development, with a focus on automation and imaging systems
• Experience with agile software development life cycles including design, implementation, deployment, and maintenance for production grade systems.
• High levels of independence and technical ownership.
• Experiences with SQA and software release and deployment process.
• Experience with visualization and graphics(2D/3D) in Qt is a plus
• Experience with Ultrasound imaging is a plus
• Strong teamwork and interpersonal skills

Our salary ranges are calculated by role, level, and location. Please note that your position within that range will be determined by your job-related knowledge, location, skills, experience, relevant education, and training/certifications. The base salary range for this full-time position is between $170,000 - $220,000 + equity + benefits.
