Software Development – Internship
Title: Contribution to the development, verification, deployment and monitoring of a SaMD (Software as a Medical Device)
About MDsim
MDsim is a MedTech start-up based in Luxembourg advancing the field of in-silico medicine. Our main product, SPINEsim, is a Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) designed to transform spine health and improve the planning of surgical procedures. By combining advanced computer modeling and simulation (CM&S) with the power of data science and AI, we create digital twins of the spine to support clinical decisions. Our mission is simple yet ambitious: to bring proven technologies into healthcare and improve the quality of life of patients with spinal deformities worldwide.
Context
Developing software in the field of medical devices requires adherence to strict development processes, including comprehensive verification and validation steps at both the component and system levels (covering front- and back-end). These processes must be reproducible and ensure full traceability of input data, output data, and component/system versions. In addition, dedicated environments (e.g., development, quality, production) and automated pipelines must be established to build, test, and verify the application seamlessly across these contexts. Once deployed, the application must also be continuously monitored to assess its performance, track user activity, and detect potential cyber-attacks.
Project objectives

• Designing and implementing an application monitoring tool.
• Writing and reviewing the technical documentation.
The balance between these tasks will be adapted according to the progress of the R&D team prior to the start of the internship.
