Medical Device Software Lead

À propos de cette offre

In 2020, our normothermic perfusion platform enabled the world's first transplantation of a human liver preserved and treated outside the body - a result that moved multi-day organ preservation from theory to a patient who is alive today. You can read about it on  www.apersys.com/news .

We are now finalizing the software that turns that breakthrough into a reliable, certifiable product, and we are looking for the person to lead it.

This is a rare engineering problem: hard real-time control of a life-critical system that keeps a human organ alive outside the body, built to medical-device standards.

As Software Lead, you own the software domain end to end - architecture, the codebase, the compliance story, and the team you grow around it.

What you'll own

• Lead the full software lifecycle under IEC 62304 - from requirements and architecture through implementation, verification & validation, and maintenance.
• Own the software architecture and detailed design, including real-time control in Structured Text on Beckhoff PLCs and higher-level application code.
• Serve as the software subject-matter expert and drive risk management alongside our engineering and clinical teams.
• Resolve issues in existing systems and keep the product's technical and regulatory documentation audit-ready.
• Grow and mentor the software team, and work directly with partners, suppliers, and clinicians - including participating in liver perfusion procedures, where you'll see your software keep an organ alive in real time.

What you bring

• Master's in computer science, medical technology (software focus), or a related field.
• 10+ years in software design and development, with real depth in IEC 62304 and the medical-device software lifecycle.
• Strong object-oriented programming plus PLC programming in Structured Text; Beckhoff experience preferred.
• Python, C, or C++ an advantage; medical-device cybersecurity a plus.
• A pragmatic, detail-driven engineer who communicates clearly across disciplines and thrives in a fast-moving startup.
• Fluent English — we work in English across the whole team.

What we offer

• A verified, first-in-human proof point behind you.
• End-to-end ownership of the software domain and the chance to grow your own team.
• Equity participation (stock package) in an early-stage company you can genuinely shape.
• Hybrid working possible.
• A mission-driven, interdisciplinary team working to overcome organ shortage.

We look forward to your application.
