Project background
FHT2 is an NRF-CREATE programme co‑funded by the National Research Foundation (NRF), ETH Zurich, and NHG‑NTU, and represents the second phase of the FHT initiative launched in 2020. The programme brings together psychologists, neuroscientists, computer scientists, engineers and clinicians to develop next‑generation digital health solutions.
Responsibilities
The Software Engineer will join the Monitoring and Supporting Cognitive Health in the Community project. This project focuses on the development and deployment of an AI‑powered mobile platform designed to assess, monitor, and support cognitive health during real‑world navigation. The platform integrates cognitive and navigation assessments, smartphone sensor data, and AI‑driven conversational agents.
The role includes developing a robust, scalable, and user‑friendly mobile application ecosystem across iOS, Android, and web platforms. Key responsibilities entail:
* Developing and maintaining mobile applications for iOS (Swift) and Android (Kotlin)
* Contributing to the web‑based frontend using ReactJS and to backend services using NodeJS
* Implementing features that enable user interaction with AI‑driven conversational agents, integrating APIs and sensor data pipelines
* Ensuring smooth communication between frontend and backend systems, optimizing app performance, and maintaining data security and privacy
* Supporting deployment and testing in real‑world environments, contributing to system architecture decisions, and establishing best practices for scalable and maintainable software development
Qualifications
Applicants should hold a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field. Salary commensurates with educational qualifications and work experience.
Strong programming skills and hands‑on experience in modern software development are essential. In particular, candidates must have experience in:
* ReactJS for web frontend development
* NodeJS for backend development and API design
Experience with full‑stack development and building end‑to‑end applications is highly desirable. Familiarity with RESTful APIs, cloud services, database systems, and mobile app deployment, testing, and maintenance on both iOS and Android platforms is required.
Experience in user interface (UI) design and user experience (UX), particularly for mobile or interactive applications, is considered a strong advantage.
Exposure to integrating AI components (e.g., LLM‑based services), handling real‑time data, or working with sensor data is beneficial but not required.
The successful candidate should demonstrate strong problem‑solving skills, a structured and pragmatic approach to software engineering, and the ability to work independently as well as in a collaborative, interdisciplinary team. Good communication skills in English are required. An interest in developing impactful applications in healthcare, human‑computer interaction, or AI‑driven systems is highly valued.
