Position (Full-time Contract):

Senior ECG SDK Developer

Victoria, British Columbia

As a senior ECG SDK (Electrocardiogram Software Development Kit) developer you will be involved in new and exciting development building our next generation, leading edge, ECG tool kit (our ECG SDK) which will be the foundation for all of our new state-of-the-art cardiology diagnostic and management systems. Our systems integrate with a diverse array of medical systems and devices to provide physicians and health care providers with the front-line tools they require to manage and combat cardiovascular disease. The ECG SDK provides the visualization and a markup tools necessary to assist the physician’s to efficiently and effectively interpret the ECG signals and provide a diagnosis; tools including digital filters, automated measurement and editing tools, and automated analysis and diagnostic algorithms.

You are comfortable developing in managed and unmanaged C++, and are well versed in newer .Net technologies.

You are experienced with the visualization of digital signals in a graphical form and you will use these skills while developing and maintaining the viewer components of the SDK. Your experience has provided you with the ability to understand and develop the digital filters needed to clean and manipulate digitized data in order to make the resulting signals easier to analyze.

You will be working in an environment where you will be relied upon to be an effective and productive contributing member. You will take an active role in developing and implementing our plan to place our products and services onto newer platforms and technologies.
