  • Clinical trial data interpretation and iterative algorithm refinement
• Collaborate with product management to align algorithm development with business priorities and user needs.
• Execute cross-functional coordination with regulatory, software, hardware, test, and marketing teams to ensure design control and regulatory compliance, with a focus on successful FDA submissions.
• Conduct edge case risk analyses and develop robust mitigations for real-world use scenarios.
• Present technical findings and strategic updates to leadership and non-technical stakeholders.
• Mentor junior engineers and foster a culture of innovation, technical rigor, and continuous improvement.
• Stay current with industry trends, regulatory guidance, and emerging technologies in AID and medical device software.
• Perform other duties as required.

Required Education and Experience:

• Master’s degree (PhD preferred) in Computer Science, Electrical/Computer Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, or a related field.
• Minimum of 3 years of experience in algorithm development, validation, and deployment in clinical or commercial medical device settings.
• Proven experience in the medical device or healthcare industry.

Preferred Skills and Competencies:

• Proficiency in analytic and modeling tools such as Python, R, MATLAB, or equivalent.
• Strong programming skills in C/C++, C#, or Java.
• Experience with clinical data analysis and interpretation.
• Familiarity with FDA regulatory processes, including Computational Modeling and Simulation Guidelines.
• Demonstrated expertise in control systems, model-based design, and embedded systems.
• Knowledge of software engineering best practices, including version control, testing, and documentation.
• Experience with risk management standards (e.g., ISO 14971) and design control processes (e.g., IEC 62304).
• Strong communication skills and ability to work independently while maintaining alignment with cross-functional teams.
• Track record of publications, patents, or contributions to commercial AID systems is a strong plus.
