At Medtronic you can begin a life-long career of exploration and innovation, while helping champion healthcare access and equity for all. You’ll lead with purpose, breaking down barriers to innovation in a more connected, compassionate world.
A Day in the Life
You will be a Senior Software Engineer who has an entrepreneurial flare. You will be a jack of all trades within your discipline, not frightened of getting your hands dirty simultaneously on multiple projects, supporting projects from advanced blue-sky research to the development of best-in-class patient vital signs monitoring products. You will be an all-rounder conversant in multiple programming languages and tool stacks from embedded all the way to web applications.
We are an Artificial Intelligence and Algorithm development team based in Edinburgh. We work on advanced research for novel sensors as well as supporting the algorithm enhancement of more mature in field products. Our small world class functional team supports the newly created Acute Care and Monitoring (ACM) Operating Unit (OU) that is committed to excellence in innovation and commercialization to pursue our vision and long-term business growth. The OU is based mainly out of Boulder, Colorado.
We believe that when people from different cultures, genders, and points of view come together, innovation is the result — and everyone wins. Medtronic walks the walk, creating an inclusive culture where you can thrive. The job is rich and varied and we hope that this aspect attracts the individual. This role will be based in Edinburgh, UK.
Responsibilities may include the following and other duties may be assigned:
1. Designing, developing and debugging software tools to support algorithm development for patient monitoring sensors and devices, algorithm training and analysis tools and clinical decision-making tools
2. Designing, developing and debugging software tools that are used to support clinical trials of key products
3. Providing architectural guidance and leadership to outsourced tool and sensor development
4. Providing architectural guidance and leadership to other OU projects supporting sensor, tooling, and other OU applications
5. Contributing to the design, development and maintenance of a data lake supporting sensor algorithm development, training, and validation
6. Leveraging your experience to support and work with other software colleagues across the Operating Unit.
Required Knowledge and Experience:
7. Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer/Software, Biomedical or similar Engineering with a minimum of 7+ years of relevant experience
8. Proven experience in more than 50% of the following: C/C++ development, C#/.NET, Python/Matlab, Qt, SQL, Linux
9. Experience of creating documentation, creating test plans and executing tests to validate software functionality
10. Ability to work with cross-functional teams and communicate technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders
11. Experience with Agile software development methodologies
12. Working experience with version control systems (e.g., Git, SVN).
Embedded development experience in Linux, RTOS or bare metal as well as knowledge of signal processing algorithms and experience with medical devices or sensors and algorithm industries is an advantage. Familiarity with machine learning and artificial intelligence as well as computer vision/image processing will give you an advantage, as would experience with healthcare industry standards and regulations (such as HIPAA) and with designing and/or maintaining databases. Knowledge of cybersecurity best practices in software development is a clear advantage.
