  • 4+ years of professional experience in software development with a significant focus on digital signal processing or data analysis applications. 

  • Proficiency in Python, including experience with scientific computing libraries (e.g., NumPy, SciPy, Pandas, scikit-image) and data visualization. 

  • Proficiency in C/C++ with embedded application experience. 

  • Strong understanding of digital signal processing concepts (e.g., filtering, spectral analysis, sampling theory, Fourier analysis). 

  • Experience designing and implementing software using good architecture principles and design patterns. 

  • Experience with version control systems (Git) and modern software development methodologies. 

  • Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, particularly in the context of complex data processing. 

  • Strong communication skills and ability to explain technical concepts clearly to diverse audiences. 

  • Adaptability to work across multiple projects simultaneously in a dynamic environment. 

Preferred

  • Experience with ultrasound systems, medical devices, or related acoustic/sensing technologies. 

  • Background in signal processing algorithms relevant to ultrasound (e.g., beamforming, synthetic aperture, Doppler processing, imaging reconstruction). 

  • Experience with real-time or near-real-time data processing pipelines. 

  • Experience interacting with hardware or instrumentation via software control. 

  • Proficiency in MATLAB for algorithm development and analysis. 

  • Knowledge of hardware description languages (Verilog/SystemVerilog or VHDL) or experience developing software that interacts with FPGA-based systems. 

  • Experience with GUI development using frameworks like Qt, or similar. 

  • Familiarity with Linux/Unix environments. 

  • Understanding of communication protocols (e.g., USB, Ethernet, SPI, I2C) as they relate to data acquisition. 

  • Familiarity with medical device regulations and standards or experience in other regulated industries. 

  • Prior consulting experience or client-facing role.
