Medical Robotics Engineer

Build and maintain software and systems that power medical robotics products and prototypes. You will collaborate with mechanical, electrical, QA/RA, and clinical stakeholders, emphasizing robust robotics software engineering, reliable perception and control, and strong verification practices suitable for regulated medical environments.

Core Responsibilities

• Develop robotics software modules for perception, localization, mapping, motion planning, and control.
• Integrate sensors (stereo/RGB-D cameras, IMU, encoders, force/torque) and implement sensor fusion for stable state estimation.
• Build simulation and test harnesses to evaluate performance, safety, and reliability under representative clinical scenarios.
• Define and document requirements, interfaces, and test protocols supporting traceability and design controls.
• Execute verification and validation activities, including automated tests, performance benchmarking, and regression testing.
• Collaborate with QA/RA to align development with ISO 13485, ISO 14971, and IEC 62304 expectations.

• 4+ years of experience in robotics engineering, robotics software, or adjacent autonomy systems.
• Strong C++ and Python proficiency with production-quality engineering practices.
• Experience with ROS/ROS2, middleware integration, and robotics debugging tooling.
• Working knowledge of perception (computer vision), SLAM/state estimation, and motion planning/control fundamentals.
• Experience creating test plans and measurable acceptance criteria; comfort with hardware-in-the-loop and simulation.

• Experience with medical devices, regulated engineering workflows, and DHF documentation.
• Familiarity with safety concepts, risk controls, and reliability engineering for human-interactive robots.
• Experience with real-time systems, embedded Linux, and performance optimization on edge compute.
