Software Architect (Principal / Senior Principal)

Are you a hands-on technical leader who thrives on building life-changing systems but are tired of rigid office mandates?

We develop new medical technologies, including work with MIT on ingestible sensing, and programs involving artificial-womb technology, surgical robotics, and implanted cardiac assist devices. Our Engineers work across a variety of ambitious development programs with a collaborative engineering culture and flexible hybrid working environment, one day per month (on average) in our state-of-the-art facility in Bedford, NH. We design products with our clients and then move on to designing the the next new and exciting product.

Position Overview: Responsible for the high-level architecture and design of medical device software, ensuring alignment with system and software requirements. This “hands-on” role requires you to be in our Bedford, NH office about one day per month to collaborate with project managers and software teams on multiple projects. The role includes reviewing detailed designs, the testing structure, and code, while also focusing on risk management and cybersecurity to ensure device safety for users and clinicians. It also offers the chance to lead technical initiatives, guide engineering teams, and make a significant impact on the development of medical devices.

Key Responsibilities:

• Architecture & Design: Develop scalable, secure, and compliant software architecture based on system and software requirements.
• Collaboration & Leadership: Work closely with project managers and software teams, providing architectural guidance and mentoring engineers.
• Code Quality & Reviews: Conduct code reviews, enforce coding standards, and ensure high-quality, maintainable code.
• Regulatory Compliance: Ensure adherence to regulatory standards (e.g., IEC 62304) for medical device software.
• Risk Management & Cybersecurity: Integrate safety measures and conduct risk assessments to ensure device safety.
• Continuous Improvement: Advocate for best practices, evaluate new technologies, and enhance development processes.
