strategies. \nWork with device engineering teams to define and consume BLE GATT profiles and protocols. \nAddress BLE challenges including background operation, connection stability, intermittent connectivity, device state management, and power consumption. \nDesign robust handling of medical-device telemetry, commands, configuration, and firmware-related workflows. \nCollaborate on device interoperability and end-to-end connectivity testing. \nNFC\nArchitect mobile integrations with NFC-enabled medical devices, accessories, tags, and authentication workflows. \nWork with iOS Core NFC and Android NFC APIs. \nDesign secure NFC communication and data exchange patterns. \nAddress platform-specific NFC capabilities and limitations. \nEnsure appropriate handling of device discovery, authentication, validation, and error scenarios. \nMedTech, Security & Compliance\nDesign mobile solutions appropriate for regulated healthcare and medical-device environments. \nApply secure development practices for protected health information (PHI), personally identifiable information (PII), credentials, device data, and authentication tokens. \nPartner with security, quality, regulatory, and clinical teams to ensure architecture supports applicable requirements. \nContribute to software lifecycle processes, risk management, traceability, validation, and documentation as required for medical-device software. \nDesign secure storage, encryption, authentication, authorization, certificate/key management, and secure communications. \nEnsure mobile architecture supports auditability, observability, and controlled software releases. \nAPIs, Cloud & Enterprise Integration\nDefine mobile integration patterns for REST/GraphQL APIs and backend services. \nEstablish networking, caching, synchronization, offline-first, and data persistence strategies. \nCollaborate with backend, cloud, device, firmware, QA, cybersecurity, and product teams. \nDefine contracts and interfaces between mobile applications, cloud platforms, and connected devices. \nQuality, Reliability & DevOps\nEstablish mobile testing strategies covering unit, integration, UI, device, connectivity, and end-to-end testing. \nDefine CI/CD architecture for iOS, Android, and Flutter applications. \nEstablish release management strategies for App Store and Google Play distribution. \nPromote automated testing, static analysis, code quality, dependency management, and security scanning. \nDefine monitoring, logging, diagnostics, crash reporting, and telemetry strategies. \nEnsure architecture supports reliable operation in real-world clinical and device environments. \nRequired Qualifications\nBachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related technical discipline. \n10+ years of software/mobile development experience, with significant experience in mobile architecture. \nOr, advanced degree and 8+ years of experience.\nPreferred Qualifications\nStrong hands-on experience with native iOS development, including Swift and Apple mobile frameworks. \nStrong hands-on experience with native Android development, including Kotlin and Android SDK. \nDemonstrated experience building production mobile applications using Flutter and Dart, or comparable cross-platform mobile technologies. \nStrong understanding of mobile application architecture patterns such as Clean Architecture, MVVM, MVI, modular architecture, dependency injection, and repository patterns. \nSignificant experience with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and mobile-to-device communication. \nExperience with NFC integrations on iOS and/or Android. \nStrong understanding of mobile security, encryption, authentication, authorization, and secure data storage.
