About The Position

The Opportunity The Software Manager position is responsible for functional management of a software team focusing on signal processing algorithms for our fast-growing sensor products. This manager is responsible for leading the team to resolve difficult technical issues and for determining design directions in new technology areas. This will be accomplished through individual efforts and management of technical teams, as required. Responsible for overall system architecture of selected new product designs. Responsible for the identification of areas of technology for potential implementation into our products. Responsible for technical supervision and project management of the engineering activities. Ultimately the goal of the efforts of the Engineering Group is the evaluation, specification, design and testing of the sensor algorithm designs, and integrating the design with embedded and mobile product software designs and data processing ecosystems. This activity will be carried out in accordance with applicable US and International medical industry regulations and standards. What You'll Work On This position is responsible for staffing and maintaining the signal processing algorithm group’s high level of technical competence. Technical leader responsible for maintaining and enhancing the high level of technical competence of the engineering staff. Responsible for the development of technical project plans and schedules covering all engineering activities (Meeting all Design control and product development SOP requirements). Manage cross functional engineering teams developing new products. Solid knowledge of engineering principles. As a technical leader participate in the creation of schedules. Communicate effectively and participate in cross functional design teams. Participate in technical design reviews. Act as independent reviewer on programs in which their group is not directly involved. Responsible for utilizing and maintaining the effectiveness of the quality system. Lead the design and development of software across one or more domains under a disciplined product development process that meets FDA requirements. Evaluate new design approaches, work on software design, coding, and validating software, support verification and validation testing, and ensuring that all product development conforms to design specifications and coding standards for medical devices. Implement data processing algorithms efficiently in a programming language (C, C++, etc.) Define and implement data management and data flow in an embedded environment. Develop productive internal/external working relationships.
