Job Description


Our client a rapidly growing medical device company seeking an Application Software Engineer with strong experience in Qt development and C/C++. A solid grasp of embedded systems would be very beneficial. This role is primarily application-focused, but you will engage frequently with embedded platforms running Linux-based operating systems (e.g., Yocto customisations) and using established industry communication protocols.
This is a key role in the development of our cutting-edge medical devices. The preparation of documentation and adherence to relevant standards (i.e., IEC 62304) will form a significant aspect of the workload. Prior experience in this area is a distinct advantage.

Duties and Responsibilities


  • Design, develop, and maintain application-level software using the Qt framework for embedded medical devices.
  • Implement multi-threaded applications using design patterns and featuring robust event-handling mechanisms.
  • Collaborate on embedded platform integration, including Yocto-based Linux customisations and system maintenance.
  • Perform debugging, unit testing, verification testing, and extensively document releases for Linux and Windows-based applications. The use of design tools, test tools, and installation tools is encouraged.
  • Participate in design discussions, clearly justifying architectural and pattern choices.
  • Work closely with cross-functional teams to explore and implement new approaches for data presentation and processing.
  • Contribute to performance improvements, bug fixes, and feature enhancements with a strong eye for detail.
  • Maintain documentation and provide technical insights to support product evolution.

Required Skills & Experience


  • 2–3 years of Qt framework experience (Qt, QML, C/C++).
  • Knowledge and experience in implementing protocols such as RS-232/485, SPI, I2C, and USB is required.
  • An ability to use collaboration tools such as Git, SVN, and JIRA is an advantage.
  • Strong experience with Linux-based systems (Yocto is an advantage).
  • Detail-oriented, with a strong focus on reliability and robustness in application development.
  • Solid understanding of multi-threading, concurrency, and event-driven architectures.
  • Ability to explain and justify design choices in a clear and structured way.
  • Knowledge of software optimisation techniques (resource usage, CPU efficiency, responsiveness).
  • Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to debug complex issues in embedded and application-level contexts.

Desirable / Nice-to-Have Skills


  • Familiarity with data visualisation and UI/UX principles for technical applications.
  • Some knowledge of hardware components and integration requirements (e.g., amplifiers, transformers, analogue signal monitoring).
