Summary
 
The Engineering software systems team are focused on developing embedded software for ECP and NO delivery medical devices. They are currently searching for a Principal Software Engineer to join their team. The ideal candidate is a senior software engineer or software architect with approximately 8-10 years experience developing safety-critical distributed software for controlling electromechanical devices or similar complex software.
  
Essential Functions
    
Acts as software architect for one or more projects, working closely with other senior members of the software team translating software requirements into robust, adaptable software designs.
Generates software architecture documentation and reviews/approves detailed design produced by junior members of the team.
Works with the various engineering disciplines to translate design requirements into well-formed software requirements using software tools for requirements management.
Conceptualizes complete solutions. Creates or coordinates the design solutions for novel or complex problems; works with verification and validation to ensure conformance to established design development processes and procedures.
Works with programme managers to help create project schedules. Leads and facilitates architectural and design decisions to ensure on-time delivery of projects. Escalates technical issues in a timely fashion to software systems manager.
Interacts closely with the software development team either on-site or remote and maximizes resource use in conjunction with SCRUM master.
Provides mentoring in software development to other members of team; monitors the improvement of other software engineer(s), e.g. delegates challenging tasks to others to help them develop; provides constructive and timely feedback.
Explores multiple alternatives. Structures studies and integrates cross-disciplinary (Software, Electrical, Mechanical) and cross-functional issues to arrive at a solution, e.g., investigates process to meet increasing regulatory requirements while maintaining serviceability & manufacturability.
