About the Role

As a Medical Robotics Engineer, you will develop and ship robotics capabilities for medical devices and healthcare automation. You will collaborate with mechanical, electrical, firmware, and clinical stakeholders to translate clinical use cases into engineering requirements, implement robotics software modules, and support verification and validation (V&V) for safety-critical performance. Your work will cover robotic manipulation, perception, calibration, and control loops with a focus on robustness, latency, and traceability aligned to medical quality systems.

Key Responsibilities

Design and implement robotics software components (perception, kinematics, motion planning, control) for medical robotic systems; integrate sensors (cameras, encoders, IMUs, force/torque) and build sensor fusion pipelines; develop real-time control strategies and tune controllers for precision and stability; create simulation and hardware-in-the-loop test setups to reproduce clinical scenarios; write verification plans, test protocols, and automated test suites to support V&V; maintain requirements traceability and documentation aligned with FDA design controls and ISO 13485; perform risk analysis support activities (hazard analysis inputs, mitigations, design verification evidence); collaborate with cross-functional teams to troubleshoot field issues, analyze logs, and improve reliability; support manufacturing test strategies and calibration procedures for production scale-up; contribute to coding standards, code reviews, and CI pipelines for safety-critical software.

Required Qualifications

Mid-Senior experience in robotics engineering, controls, or embedded software; strong proficiency in C++ and/or Python for robotics development; hands-on experience with ROS/ROS2 or similar robotics middleware; practical understanding of kinematics, dynamics, control theory, and motion planning; experience integrating sensors and building calibration workflows; familiarity with real-time systems constraints and performance profiling; ability to write clear test plans, run experiments, and interpret results; experience working in regulated or safety-critical environments (medical devices preferred).

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with surgical robotics, rehabilitation robotics, or hospital automation; knowledge of IEC 60601, ISO 13485, ISO 14971, and FDA design control processes; experience with computer vision for tracking, pose estimation, or segmentation in constrained environments; familiarity with embedded Linux, microcontrollers, and communication buses (CAN, SPI, I2C, Ethernet); experience with simulation tools (Gazebo, Isaac Sim, MuJoCo) and digital twins; exposure to manufacturing test engineering, calibration rigs, and end-of-line validation; background in systems engineering and requirements management tools.

Remote Work and Collaboration

This is a Remote, Full-Time role in the US. You will collaborate asynchronously using engineering documentation, issue tracking, and code review workflows. Travel may be required periodically for integration testing, lab validation, clinical-adjacent evaluations, or manufacturing readiness activities depending on project needs.

Compensation

Salary Range: USD 63360 to 126720 per year. Compensation may vary based on scope, relevant medical robotics experience, and impact across verification, systems engineering, and clinical integration.
