Sobre esta vaga de Software Engineer- C++ na GE HealthCare
Job Description Summary
As a Software Engineer – PET Data Acquisition, you will join a highly specialized team developing the real-time software stack at the core of GE HealthCare’s PET/CT imaging systems.Our software directly impacts image quality and system reliability, enabling clinicians worldwide to provide accurate diagnoses and life-saving care.
You will work on a distributed, high-performance C++ system running on Linux, responsible for configuring detector hardware, processing high-throughput data streams, and enabling seamless integration across the scanner ecosystem.
Job Description
About the Team
Our team develops the data acquisition platform powering GE HealthCare’s PET/CT scanners.
This system:
- Configures and interfaces with detector hardware
- Receives high-rate event streams via UDP
- Performs real-time sorting and time-stamping of coincidence events
- Manages acquisition state and persistence
- Exposes control and monitoring APIs to clinical applications
The platform is a distributed, multi-process, multi-threaded C++ system running on Linux, designed for deterministic, high-performance operation under demanding workloads.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and develop end-to-end data acquisition features, from low-level UDP capture and event processing through service layers and client APIs
- Optimize and maintain performance-critical code paths, including:
- Lock-free / low-contention data structures
- Thread affinity and NUMA optimization
- Zero-copy buffer management
- Deterministic real-time execution
- Enhance and maintain inter-process communication mechanisms, including shared memory, message queues, and service interfaces
- Work with embedded persistence layers (SQL-based) for configuration, metadata, and runtime state
- Collaborate closely with hardware, physics, and system teams to integrate new detector and system components
- Develop unit and integration tests, and actively participate in code and design reviews
- Troubleshoot complex cross-process issues using advanced debugging and profiling tools (e.g., gdb, perf, tcpdump, strace)
Required Qualifications
- B.Sc. in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, or equivalent practical experience
- 4+ years of experience in C++ development on Linux, including modern C++ (C++14/17)
- Strong experience with:
- Multi-threaded and multi-process systems
- Synchronization primitives, memory models, and concurrency challenges
- Inter-process communication (IPC) mechanisms such as shared memory, sockets, and message queues
- Solid understanding of system-level programming and performance optimization
- Working knowledge of SQL / relational databases – advantage
