Embedded Software Engineer
About The Position
Canon Medical Research USA, Inc. (CMRU) is seeking a Software Engineer to join our High Performance Computing team, developing image-processing software for large medical devices, from requirements through production. This role is well suited to a recent graduate with a strong mathematical and systems foundation who is looking to apply coursework in linear algebra, numerical methods, and operating systems to real-time image reconstruction and signal-processing algorithms running on production hardware. You will work through the full software lifecycle: analyzing requirements, designing solutions, implementing and unit-testing code, and documenting your work to a standard suitable for a regulated medical device environment.
Requirements
- B.S. or M.S. degree in Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, Computer Science, or Electrical Engineering from an accredited institution.
- Entry-level: 0-2 years of professional experience. New graduates are encouraged to apply.
- Strong academic background in applied mathematics is required; linear algebra and numerical methods coursework or project work is required.
- Computer architecture: memory hierarchy, cache behavior, instruction pipelines, and how they affect software performance.
- Operating systems / systems programming: processes, threads, scheduling, synchronization primitives; direct experience with a preemptive multitasking RTOS is a plus.
- Multi-threaded / parallel programming: experience writing correct, race-free concurrent code; exposure to multi-processing or parallel algorithm design.
- C/C++: solid fundamentals; comfort with memory management and low-level debugging.
- Numerical methods and linear algebra: ability to translate mathematical algorithms into efficient, numerically sound code.
- Strong analytical problem-solving skills, particularly with mathematically dense algorithms.
- Initiative and solution orientation; comfortable working through ambiguity.
- Clear written and verbal communication, including the ability to document design decisions.
- Effective relationship building across a cross-functional engineering team.
- Sound time and task management.
Nice To Haves
- Image processing and/or GPU programming experience is a plus (CUDA, OpenCL, or similar).
- Familiarity with version control, defect tracking tools, and peer code review is a plus.
Responsibilities
- Analyze software requirements documentation and consult with the requirements author as needed.
- Formulate a software design using industry best practices and document it appropriately.
- Implement the software design in C/C++.
- Design and execute unit test plans to verify coded software.
- Contribute to image reconstruction and scientific/mathematical algorithm implementation, including performance optimization.
- Coordinate communication with vendors related to project materials.
- Contribute to the creation of software requirements and specifications.
- Contribute to the corporate IP portfolio.
Benefits
- CMRU funded HRA or HSA
- 401(k)/Roth/Employer Match/Profit Sharing
- Disability and Life Insurance
- Generous Paid Time Off and 14 Holidays
- medical, dental and vision benefits
