Job Title

Software Engineer – Systems Programming / Application Development C++

Job Description

Software Engineer - Systems Programming/Application Development - C++ (Cambridge, MA)

In this role, you will contribute to a breakthrough cardiac ultrasound imaging solution that revolutionizes minimally invasive image-guided therapies for patients undergoing complex life-saving trans-catheter cardiac procedures.

Your role:

  • Work on a collaborative, interdisciplinary, and experienced medical device R&D team, tasked with inventing and launching the next generation of products for Philips’ Image Guided Therapies devices business.

  • Work on exciting front-end innovation that involves taking ideas and building them into fully functional prototypes. As ideas iterate, translate functional prototypes into production quality applications.

  • Design, implement and document clinical-quality software for the R&D and user facing subsystem of a novel intra-cardiac imaging device in a medical-regulated environment with focus on C++ implementation and integration in an Image-guidance system. Experience with Python is also required.

  • Participate in software design discussions and code reviews (both internal and multi-functional) for customer centric features and workflows; coordinate with external software contributors, and follow quality & regulatory processes (ISO13485, ISO14971, IEC 62304).

  

You're the right fit if:  

  • You’ve acquired 2+ years of professional experience in developing C++ software, preferably in medical devices / imaging.

  • You have a BS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Software Engineering, or equivalent.

  • You are highly skilled in C++, Python and Windows OS, and experienced with common application frameworks and libraries (threading, logging, QT, etc.), and modern dev tools and toolchains (VS Pro, Nuget, CMake, SonarQube, etc.).  Experience with toolkits for image-processing and computer vision (OpenCV), and advance visualization (VTK, ITK).

  • You must be able to successfully perform the following minimum Physical, Cognitive and Environmental job requirements with or without accommodation for this position, including 10% travel. 

  • Experience in R&D prototyping, hands-on design, development and troubleshooting of user-facing applications, including relevant design patterns and data structures and architectures for distributed applications, and CI/CD pipelines.   Experience in translating system and customer needs into requirements and breaking them down into implementable interfaces and building blocks.

How we work together:

We believe that we are better together than apart. For our office-based teams, this means working in-person at least 3 days per week. Onsite roles require full-time presence in the company’s facilities. Field roles are most effectively done outside of the company’s main facilities, generally at the customers’ or suppliers’ locations. 

  

This is an office-based role in Cambridge, MA. 

  

About Philips:

We are a health technology company. We built our entire company around the belief that every human matters, and we won't stop until everybody everywhere has access to the quality healthcare that we all deserve. Do the work of your life to help improve the lives of others.
