As part of our modern engineering culture, we are actively leveraging AI-powered development tools such as GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, OpenAI Codex, and similar platforms to augment our software engineering workflows. We expect all candidates to be adept in using these tools to enhance productivity, improve code quality, and collaborate effectively. This includes: + Using AI tools for code generation, refactoring, and documentation. + Understanding prompts and model behavior for high-accuracy suggestions. + Applying AI in debugging, test case creation, and code reviews. + Familiarity with productivity enhancements and limitations of AI tooling. + This capability is mandatory for all engineering roles on the team. **How we work together** We believe that we are better together than apart. For our office-based teams, this means working in-person at least 3 days per week. Onsite roles require full-time presence in the company’s facilities. Field roles are most effectively done outside of the company’s main facilities, generally at the customers’ or suppliers’ locations. this role is an office role. **About Philips** We are a health technology company.
