MedTech Software Analyst (SPEC/XML) - High Tech Engineering Center a.s.

The Project

You’ll join a team building a clinician-facing application used in hospitals. Doctors use this application to configure implanted cardiac devices (pacemakers, defibrillators, and heart monitors) during implantation, and to fine-tune therapy settings later during follow-up visits. It’s safety-critical work: clarity, correctness, and careful change management matter.

Who This Role Is For

We are looking for a technical analyst with strong problem-solving skills and an interest in building software solutions and gaining long-term domain knowledge in a real, regulated product environment.

You don’t need to know everything on day one. What matters is curiosity, structured and analytical thinking, good engineering and testing habits, and the drive to learn quickly, ask the right questions, challenge assumptions, and turn ambiguity into clear, actionable solutions.

What You’ll Do

• Analyze and navigate existing codebases and documentation to understand system behavior and historical decisions.
• Turn requirements into working behavior: clarify unclear inputs with the team (and sometimes the customer).
• Design a clean solution and implement it in SPEC (a proprietary language written in XML and validated with XSD).
• Build and test your changes, verify expected behavior, and help keep quality high.
• Create structured analyses to enable efficient development, testing, and decision-making.
• Clearly record implemented changes.
• Investigate bugs: reproduce, identify root cause, and propose minimal, safe fixes to reduce retesting scope.
• Review teammates’ changes and participate in a thorough, multiple-round review process.

Technologies & Tools

You’ll work with a pragmatic, production-proven stack intended to support reliability, readability, and traceability in a regulated environment:

• SPEC: proprietary language written in XML, defined and validated via XSD (we provide onboarding to help you get started and continuous guidance from experienced team members).
• C# framework: interprets and runs SPEC (provided ready-made by a dedicated team to spec developers)
• IDE & workflow: Microsoft Visual Studio 2022.
• DevOps & version control: Azure DevOps + Git.
• Docs: Confluence and multiple documents with requirements from the customer.
• Collaboration: Agile methodology (Scrum framework)

What We Expect (Must-have)

• Basic programming fundamentals (you can break a problem down and implement a solution).
• Strong critical, analytical, and logical thinking skills.
• Intellectual curiosity and persistence in investigating root causes.
• Basic knowledge of XML or other markup language.
• Advanced English (you can collaborate in English with confidence).

Nice to Have

• Comfort reading C#, JavaScript and/or C++ code.
• Experience with data analysis, reporting, or drawing insights from complex information.
• Familiarity with XSD, schemas, or structured data formats.
• Experience with testing habits (unit/integration tests, or test-first mindset).
• Interest in regulated domains (medical, finance, automotive) and how quality is built in.

Why Work With Us

• Real-world impact: your work helps to improve the quality of life of patients globally.
• Flexible working hours: an opportunity to adjust the daily schedule within current project needs.
• Team culture: Supportive, open, and strongly collaborative team spirit.
• On-site collaboration: Regular opportunities to meet and work together in our Prague or Ostrava offices.
