At DORC, your work directly impacts one of the most delicate and meaningful areas of medicine: restoring sight.
We develop high-precision ophthalmic surgical systems that are trusted by surgeons worldwide. As an Embedded Software Engineer R&D, you will contribute to the development of embedded and control software of our next-generation medical devices, operating at the intersection of low-level embedded engineering, control systems, and safety-critical design.
You will be part of the Design and Development Team and work closely with experts in mechatronics, mechanics, electronics, software, and systems engineering. In this role, you contribute to embedded and control-oriented subsystems throughout the full product lifecycle, from early concept and feasibility studies through implementation, verification, release, and support of products in the field. You work in accordance with DORC’s design and development processes and contribute to documentation, verification, and compliance activities required in a regulated medical device environment.
Tasks and responsibilities
- Developing and managing embedded medical device software for advanced ophthalmic surgical systems
- Design and develop mechatronic and control systems for surgical equipment used for eye surgery
- Embedded systems architecture design and integration of mechatronic systems
- Involvement in the full development life cycle, from system-level and concept thinking to testing and verification
- Resolving issues and optimizing released products that affect product performance or safety
- Feasibility studies and development through simulations, calculations, prototypes and/or experiments
- Support new products in the production process
- Documenting design, verification, and work instructions
Required skills and experience
- Embedded C and extensive experience with microcontrollers/DSPs on both RTOS-based and bare-metal platforms.
- Familiarity with peripherals, low-level communication protocols such as UART, SPI, I2C, and CAN.
- Experience with good coding practices and industry standards for safety-critical software such as MISRA and static analysis tools.
- Control theory knowledge, including creating and testing control algorithms.
- Specific experience with discrete-time control, PID-based control, cascaded control structures, filtering, signal conditioning, controller tuning, and performance optimization.
- Proven experience with model-based design using MATLAB/Simulink, Stateflow, and code generation
- Experience and knowledge of electronics, including reading schematics and performing electronic measurements using laboratory tools
- Good written and oral communication skills in English
- At least 5 years of experience working in multidisciplinary development teams
Preferred skills
- Experience with specific control systems, e.g. motion control, fluidics, or pneumatics
- Familiarity with medical device standards (IEC 62304 and IEC 60601) or other similar safety related standards in other domains.
- Experience with simulation, prototyping, and design of experiments
- Lab skills (electronic test and measurement equipment, prototyping)
