Job Title : Junior Software Engineer (Full- Stack)

Company Overview :

Founded in 2001 Altus is a designer, assembler / manufacturer, and marketer of medical, point-of-care technology workstations used across the healthcare industry. Based in Grand Rapids, MI, Altus’ current product portfolio includes powered (i.e., with built-in battery) and non-powered mobile workstations, and AI enabled tele-sitting cart and wall-mounts launched in partnership with another company. A key component of the Company’s value proposition is offering a very broad assortment of configurable customization options, aimed at improving the end-use experience. The Company’s products are utilized across multiple departments including patient rooms, emergency departments, surgical centers, continuing care, telehealth and radiology departments.

Historically the Company has leveraged its strong product and industrial engineering capabilities to design and manufacture high-quality carts that are well-regarded in the market. Over the past few years, hospitals have increasingly demanded managed services capabilities that enable customers, or Altus itself, to proactively manage the fleet of carts deployed at customer sites ( e.g. detect quality issues, remote troubleshooting, real time cart's location, fleet replacement management, etc ). Altus has made progress in the development of this capability, with the launch of IOT enabled carts in 2024 with multiple customers across the Midwest , as well as launching additional full solution products combining hardware and software in the Virtual Care and RTLS Mess network markets.
