About Vitestro
Founded in 2017 in Utrecht, Vitestro is pioneering the future of blood collection with the Aletta® Autonomous Robotic Phlebotomy Device™ (ARPD™). This groundbreaking medical device combines advanced multi-modal imaging (near-infrared, ultrasound, and Doppler ultrasound) with robotics and AI to perform the entire diagnostic blood draw procedure autonomously.
By addressing critical healthcare staffing shortages and improving patient experience, Vitestro is transforming one of the most common and essential medical procedures. With more than 90 team members and growing rapidly, we are scaling our impact. As we placed our first devices with customers, we are now expanding our team to ensure successful implementation and long-term reliability.
At Vitestro, we are committed to continuous innovation and improvement.
About the role
As a software engineer within the Application cluster you will develop the high-level behaviour of the device, and orchestrate how all the different software modules work together to realize a world-class blood collection experience. You will continuously improve and extend the C++ software that is deployed on our real-time medical robotic system, as well as develop how that system interfaces with our broader infrastructure, such as our cloud-based data architecture.
As a Junior C++ Engineer, you will:
• Design and implement software components in modern C++ (C++17/20)
• Take ownership of functionalities and drive improvements in existing architecture within an agile environment, which includes work preparation, estimation, and identification of dependencies
• Design and maintain structured state-machines-based logic as well as other solutions to manage system behaviour.
• Contribute to system-level / feature design discussions and technical decisions, including their integration with other disciplines such as data engineering
• Work with DDS communication protocols and other distributed system interfaces
• Debug complex issues across software and hardware boundaries
• Improve testability and contribute to robust validation strategies
• Participate actively in code reviews and raise quality standards
• Support debugging and optimization in Linux and real-time environments.
