Principal Engineer 3D Imaging & Algorithms

Do you have a demonstrated track record of defining and driving the execution of a software technical roadmap, leveraging deep hands-on engineering expertise while simultaneously coaching and mentoring a high-performing team? Join us!

Your role:

• Lead complex projects independently and across multiple teams, demonstrating strong initiative and problem-solving skills, exhibiting principal-level engineering and architecture expertise, establishing best practices, and making practical tech decisions.
• Drive a results-oriented approach, unblocking teams and maintaining a "getting things done" mentality.
• Take ownership of identifying and solving high-value problems, proactively improving team and organizational outcomes.
• Collaborate effectively across roles, earning respect from engineers to business stakeholders through strong communication and hands-on involvement.
• Mentor engineers at all levels while staying current with industry trends and continuously sharing knowledge across teams.
• Design and maintain image processing algorithms and evaluation frameworks, with an emphasis on classical computer vision, 3D geometry, and deep learning.
• Document and present progress in algorithm design, development, and evaluation (requirements/design/architecture/bugs/tests).
• Write efficient, reusable, scalable, test-driven, and well-documented code.
• Lead code reviews for projects/systems as an independent reviewer, applying design principles, coding standards, and best practices.

You're the right fit if:

Minimum Required Qualifications

Education: MSc. or PhD Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent.

Work Experience: Minimum 10 years of experience in areas such as Software Development, Software Design and Architecture, Testing and Quality Assurance, or equivalent.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Track record in designing and developing medical devices/products as a product (requirements) owner with a system thinking mindset.
• 10+ years of experience in software development, and at least 3 years as an architect, technical product owner, or staff engineer in an agile development environment, with a passion for software and staying up to date with software technology and related areas.
• Create impact beyond your direct scope, contributing to bigger organizational asks. Be a true knowledge multiplier and bring iApps to the next level.
• Experience working in and cooperating with high-performing teams, with the ability to communicate clearly both verbally and in writing, and to translate a software product roadmap into clear architectural designs and implementation. Able to communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Proven experience with high-performance software design and development, design patterns, SOLID principles, TDD, and Clean architecture.
• Hands-on and fully up to speed with modern software technologies (e.g., C++ 20, 3D rendering with DirectX/OpenGL and computational geometry), configuration management and deployment systems, GitHub, package management, orchestration tools, Docker, cloud computing, and on-prem deployments on multiple operating systems.
• Experience with 3D Vision and projective geometry, computer graphics, and deep learning/machine learning for computer vision, as well as practical applications of classical computer vision and machine learning techniques to increase 3D medical image quality.
• Excellent writing and verbal communication skills.
