• Practical experience developing WPF applications using C#, .NET, XAML, and MVVM.
• Working knowledge of C#, .NET, WPF, XAML, and object-oriented programming.
• Familiarity with MVVM and separation-of-concerns principles for WPF applications.
• Experience through employment, internships, academic projects, or personal projects involving WPF data binding, commands, controls, styles, templates, and validation.
• Foundational knowledge of application logic, service-layer components, and reusable software design.
• Hands-on experience with SQL databases, including writing queries, working with relational tables, and using application data-access technologies.
• Basic understanding of RESTful APIs, software services, TCP/IP protocols, or socket programming.
• Basic understanding of asynchronous programming, multithreading, and exception handling.
• Familiarity with source control, unit testing, debugging tools, and software-development-lifecycle practices.
• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to collaborate effectively within software and cross-functional engineering teams.
• Initiative and willingness to learn new technologies and regulated development practices.

Nice To Haves

• Familiarity with stored procedures, transactions, or database schema design is desirable.
• Exposure to C++, medical device software, regulated industries, Linux systems, or automated build tools is a plus.

Responsibilities

• Develop, test, and maintain Windows desktop application features using C#, .NET, WPF, XAML, and MVVM under the guidance of experienced engineers.
• Create and update user-interface components, including views, controls, styles, templates, data binding, commands, validation, and navigation.
• Implement and modify application logic and service-layer components based on defined requirements and software designs.
• Create and maintain SQL queries, stored procedures, database objects, and data-access components that support application workflows.
• Assist with integrating WPF applications with instruments, local services, external systems, and APIs using established communication interfaces, including TCP/IP sockets.
• Apply asynchronous and multithreaded programming techniques, with guidance, to support responsive and reliable application behavior.
• Participate in requirements reviews, technical discussions, code reviews, and software design activities.
• Create and maintain unit and integration tests for user-interface, application, database, and communication components.
• Investigate and resolve software defects involving user interfaces, application logic, databases, communication interfaces, and deployment.
• Use debugging and troubleshooting tools to identify root causes and support effective software corrections.
• Collaborate with Software, Systems, Hardware, Quality, and other cross-functional teams.
• Maintain clear software implementation, testing, and verification documentation in accordance with established development processes.
• Apply source-control, testing, exception-handling, and software-development-lifecycle practices throughout assigned work.
• Continue developing technical knowledge of medical device software, regulated development practices, and related technologies.
