Senior Computer Vision & Robotics Systems Engineer
Indexed description
We're looking for a Senior Computer Vision & Robotics Systems Engineer to evaluate 3D sensing technologies and perception algorithms and define the requirements that shape our sensing and robotics subsystems
You Will
- Evaluate and benchmark 3D sensing technologies (e.g., structured light, time-of-flight, stereo, LiDAR) and computer vision/perception algorithms for use within the system
- Define system and subsystem-level requirements for sensing, perception, and robotics, ensuring traceability from clinical/product need through verification
- Partner with third-party contractors and vendors to define, review, and validate requirements for algorithmic components of the system
- Develop test methods, protocols, and acceptance criteria to evaluate sensing and algorithm performance against system requirements
- Support integration of perception and robotics algorithms with hardware and software subsystems, working closely with hardware, software, and controls engineers
- Analyze algorithm and sensing performance data, identify failure modes, and drive root-cause investigations
- Support risk analysis and design reviews for sensing, perception, and robotics-related requirements
- Contribute to a rigorous quality process that blends modern hardware/software/algorithm development practices with a regulatory V-model framework (e.g., IEC 62304, ISO 13485, ISO 14971)
- 6+ years of experience in systems engineering, computer vision, robotics, or perception within complex electromechanical or robotic systems (medical device preferred; industrial robotics, autonomous vehicles, or similar also considered)
- Strong understanding of 3D sensing modalities and technologies (e.g., structured light, time-of-flight, stereo vision, LiDAR) and their tradeoffs
- Experienced evaluating, benchmarking, or developing computer vision/perception algorithms
- Comfortable defining and managing requirements for algorithmic components, including working with external partners and contractors
- Experienced with requirements and test case management/traceability tools (e.g., Jama, DOORS, Polarion, or similar)
- Strong root-cause analysis and debugging skills across sensing, algorithms, and system integration
- Able to operate with the judgment and independence of an early startup hire — comfortable defining process where none exists yet, while holding the line on rigor where it matters most
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate clinical and product-level needs into precise, verifiable system and algorithm requirements
- An adept, fast learner who is comfortable in a fast-paced environment
- Experience with ROS / ROS2
- Ability to build and run simulation environments for robotics or perception systems (e.g., Gazebo, Isaac Sim, or similar)
- Comfortable with Python and Linux for tooling, prototyping, or test automation
- Experience in the medical device industry, ideally with interventional or robotic systems
- Experience taking a system through a first-in-human or early feasibility clinical trial
- Familiarity with magnetic actuation, catheter/guidewire systems, or neurovascular/endovascular devices
