Perform research and analysis to inform the design and implementation of foundational software components for robotics and enabling technology applications.
Participate fully in software development lifecycle (SDLC) activities, including code reviews, documentation, integration, testing, defect management, and code analysis.
Ensure all software components are feature complete and meet defined requirements, design specifications, and quality standards.
Implement and maintain data architectures, including data models, formats, schemas, and databases that support clinical applications.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate software components into broader clinical systems and workflows.
Use integrated development environments (IDEs), build systems, and revision control tools to develop, build, and release software efficiently.
Apply continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) practices to maintain reliable and repeatable build and deployment pipelines.
Develop and execute unit tests as part of the standard development workflow to ensure code quality and reliability.
Work independently with minimal supervision, applying attention to detail and sound judgment when analyzing factual information and making evaluative decisions.
Maintain clear and accurate technical documentation for software components, data architectures, and development processes.
Contribute to ongoing maintenance and improvement of existing components, including troubleshooting, bug fixing, and performance optimization.
