Robotics Software Engineer

About the Role

In this role, you will help develop a next-generation medical robotics platform. You’ll collaborate within a small, fast-paced team to iteratively design and build complex robotic prototypes. The ideal candidate is a self-driven software engineer with strong problem-solving skills and deep expertise in C++ and robotics algorithms.

Responsibilities

• Quickly learn an existing software codebase to implement and adapt the software stack
• Collaborate cross-functionally with controls, mechanical, and software engineers to design, build, and iterate on exploratory prototypes
• Design and lead experiments to methodically characterize system performance, accuracy, and reliability, and to de-risk key aspects of a novel robotic platform
• Refine prototype software into robust, production-quality code
• Architect clean, modular, and testable software interfaces and system designs for a distributed robotic platform
• Contribute to the long-term software architecture and platform strategy
• Develop and maintain formal design control documentation in compliance with medical device standards

Requirements

• Deep expertise in C++, object-oriented programming, software architecture design, and testing
• Strong working knowledge of robotics algorithms, including forward kinematics
• Excellent communication skills
• High levels of independence and technical ownership
• Full-stack mentality, with flexibility to contribute to different areas of the codebase

Qualifications

• MS or PhD in computer science, mechanical engineering, or equivalent

Preferred Skills and Experience

• Four years of experience developing software applications
• Familiarity with development in a Linux environment
• Experience developing software for medical devices
• Experience with design documentation, including formal requirements and testing
• Experience with GUI development (Qt/QML)
• Experience with OpenGL and 3D rendering
• Experience with state estimation and sensor fusion algorithms
