About IDE Group
IDE is a group of like-minded people that love working together to utilise design, engineering and entrepreneurial capabilities to bring products to life. Since 2003, we have been building better futures with our partners and through over 500 projects across the medical technology landscape, including respiratory care, drug delivery, radiology, and point-of-care diagnostics.
Making a difference matters to us and our values of being resourceful, curious, thinking positively, putting others first, embracing complexity and taking ownership to drive successful outcomes. This position is based in our Head Office in Sydney, Australia.
With a head office in Australia and offices in America and the Netherlands, we are on our way to building better futures in the medical sector. We are an entrepreneurial partner and discover, develop and deliver MedTech innovations. We do this together with multinationals, start-ups and clinical experts. We have grown over 150 companies within medical technology. How do we achieve this? Through a positive mindset and a team of more than 70 professionals in an international team.
About the role
At IDE we love building better futures. We create products that change lives, grow new organisations and build better futures for our clients and partners at home and abroad.
We are seeking a software engineer to join our Product Development group, and be part of a team with a passion for entrepreneurship and design, and a desire to create meaningful new products and services.
You need to be curious, a positive thinker and be willing to put the project and team first. You will often be working in uncertain and uncharted environments, and need to be comfortable doing so, developing and delivering complex products that realise new futures.
The person we are looking for should have a solid background in bringing products from concept right through to market. They can take an analytical approach to decision making and be quick to step up to take ownership of their work, while not being afraid to make decisions. The ability to communicate effectively and lead on design issues, with colleagues, customers and suppliers is essential.
Critical to this role will be experience within highly regulated, safety critical industries. Experience in complying with various standards and regulations will be regarded highly. An understanding of the bigger picture, systems engineering and product integration processes is also important.
You will be responsible for taking software projects from requirements definition through to coding and product release, often in close alignment with hardware development teams. All projects are very different, so you’ll need to thrive on variety and the challenge of learning something new.
