  • Proficiency in software engineering in collaboration with Git

  • Competent in concepts for software development procedures, agile project development methodologies and project management (e.g. Jira, MS Project, etc.)

  • Competent in requirement engineering regarding to usability and clinical indication

  • Good communication in balance with respect, kindness and feedback culture

  • Hands-on mentality and problem-solving mindset in accordance with best practice and requirements

  • Independent structured manner of working and interest in collaboration and further development in an interdisciplinary team

  • Proficiency in German and English communication

Nice-to-haves

  • Knowledge and understanding of medical and clinical workflows, ideally in the context of surgical navigation or image-guided surgery (e.g. 3D Slicer, MITK, IGSTK)

  • Experience with medical image segmentation

  • Experience with robotics software frameworks

  • Knowledge of medical device regulations (EU MDR, FDA, ISO, etc.)
