ABOUT SHIFAMED
Founded in 2009 by serial entrepreneur Amr Salahieh, Shifamed LLC is a privately held medical technology incubator focused on the development of novel medical products to address clinical needs in the rapidly evolving fields of cardiology and ophthalmology.

Description:

You will serve as the hands-on architect behind the "central nervous system" of Laza’s robotic imaging platform. This is a high-impact, player-coach role where you will define the system architecture and actively contribute to the core codebase while orchestrating a multidisciplinary team of embedded, control, and cloud engineers. You won't just oversee development; you will set the engineering standard—writing critical path code, driving architectural decisions, and bridging the gap between complex low-level motion control and AI-driven imaging. You will be the technical anchor for a team delivering a safety-critical, life-saving medical device.

Responsibilities, Skills & Hands-On Experience:
  • Architect and execute software framework for system.
  • Lead, mentor and grow software team for system software, imaging reconstruction, UI/IX, firmware and cloud connectivity.
  • CI/CD pipeline for software deployment
  • Develop and scope project plans.
  • Create requirements and formal test protocols for new features.
  • Oversee the full cycle of the development of software.
  • Utilize and develop software for real-time systems for safe and fault-tolerant software applications.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to design and implement systems for medical devices.
  • Implement and optimize software modules for path planning, kinematics, sensor integration, and simulations for testing and development.
  • Generate formal design documentation.
Education & Work Experience:
  • MS or PhD degree in CS, EE, Robotics or a related field.
  • Minimum 15 years of relevant experience, including 5+ years of technical management responsibilities.
  • Proficiency in programming using C++, C and Python, and experience with OOP design.
  • Proven project management experience on large software projects with hardware components and real time systems.
  • Experience with user interfaces and user experience in 3D environments.
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills.
  • Experience with software development process in a regulated medical device environment is a plus.
Our salary ranges are calculated by role, level, and location. Please note that your position within that range will be determined by your job-related knowledge, location, skills, experience, relevant education, and training/certifications. The base salary range for this full-time position is between $225,000 - $265,000 + equity + benefits.
