Staff/Principal Software Engineer – Medical Imaging & Robotics
Akura Medical Staff/Principal Software Engineer – Medical Imaging & Robotics
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:
As a Staff/Principal Software Engineer, you will engineer the intelligence behind a revolutionary robotic platform with ultrasound imaging and AI for interventional cardiology. You will work at the challenging intersection where software meets physics—designing the real-time motion planning, fault-tolerant controls, and system integrations that make our device safe and precise. This is not just about writing code; it is about owning critical subsystems of a life-saving device. You will drive technical decisions, build high-fidelity simulations, and deliver production-grade software that translates complex algorithms into clinical reality.
