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.
