Our client is an innovative, venture-backed medical technology company developing next-generation imaging solutions to enhance surgical precision and improve patient outcomes. They are seeking a Principal Software Engineer with deep expertise in C++, CUDA, and image processing to help lead development of real-time imaging software for surgical applications.

Position Summary:
This role will focus on designing and optimizing software systems that utilize visible and near-infrared imaging technologies. The ideal candidate will bring a strong background in C++ development, GPU programming, and real-time image/video processing — along with leadership capabilities to guide a small, fast-moving team in a regulated medical device environment.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Optimize imaging and video processing algorithms using NVIDIA CUDA.

  • Collaborate with imaging scientists to implement and refine novel algorithms using OpenCV.

  • Develop applications using C++ and C# in Visual Studio, with additional work in WPF and DirectX/shader development.

  • Define and trace software requirements across the development lifecycle.

  • Lead and mentor junior software engineers while guiding architectural decisions.

  • Collaborate with QA/RA teams to support V&V efforts and ensure regulatory compliance.

  • Track and resolve software issues through tools like JIRA.

  • Report project status and technical progress to senior R&D leadership.

Required Skills and Experience:

  • 10+ years of software development experience, preferably in medical devices or other regulated industries.

  • Proficiency in C++, C#, .NET, and Python.

  • Strong experience with CUDA, OpenCV, and image processing algorithms.

  • Hands-on experience with NVIDIA Jetson platforms is a plus.

  • Familiarity with IEC 62304 or similar standards for regulated software development.

  • Experience with version control (Git) and issue tracking tools (JIRA).

  • Background in AI/ML frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch) is a bonus.

  • Excellent problem-solving, communication, and technical leadership skills.

Education:
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related field is required. Master’s or PhD preferred.
