R&D Team Manager

Location: 

Kortrijk, BE

Role summary

Design, build, and deliver software for Nexxis, our platform for the integrated digital operating room. Drive our evolution from pure AVoIP switching to application-centric orchestration that improves surgical team workflows in the operating room—integrating GPU-enabled applications and smart surgical displays as first-class Nexxis managed entities.

What you’ll do

  • Drive and evolve the Nexxis NMS server architecture toward application-centric orchestration while strengthening testing, automation, and security-by-design
  • Design, build, and evolve our Kotlin/Spring Boot services and GraphQL/REST APIs; contribute to essential Vue based user flows
  • Extend Nexxis NMS to discover, provision, monitor, and update applications and smart surgical displays
  • Contribute to the Technical File for the Nexxis medical device (requirements/design inputs and outputs, verification evidence, risk-related items, traceability)
  • Collaborate closely with Product Management, Quality Assurance, User Experience Design, and the other Nexxis engineering teams; coach and unblock peers through design reviews and hands-on pairing

Core technical skills

  • Kotlin/Java, Spring Boot; strong object-oriented design and design patterns
  • GraphQL (must-have) and REST API design and evolution
  • Vue JavaScript for front-end contributions
  • SQL and messaging / event-driven patterns
  • CI/CD, automated testing (unit, system testing), Jenkins, Docker/containers
  • Security fundamentals
  • Networking for AVoIP: multicast, IGMP, VLAN...

Nice to have

  • GPU / accelerated computing (for example, NVIDIA IGX, Holoscan) and integration of AI inference pipelines
  • Interest in Agentic Engineering practices
  • Experience with Cloud software (AWS, Azure...)

Profile

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s in Computer Science/Engineering (or equivalent) with 6+ years in software engineering
  • Clear communicator, collaborative, and strong problem solver; comfortable shaping technical direction through hands-on delivery
  • Habit of continuous learning: quickly dives into and masters diverse frameworks, languages, and tools beyond the stacks above; selects technology pragmatically for the problem at hand and actively shares learnings
  • Interest in developing software under medical-device standards (for example, IEC 62304/ISO 13485 principles with risk-aware documentation and traceability)
  • Experience with Scrum/Agile development practices (backlog refinement, sprint reviews, iterative delivery, and team retrospectives)

Your Impact

Improve operating-room workflows for surgical teams on the Nexxis platform—paving the way for AI- and compute-powered applications that enhance safety, efficiency, and patient care.
