About the Role

You will design, build, and validate medical robotics capabilities for clinical use cases, spanning software architecture, algorithms, and system integration. Work includes robot kinematics and motion control, perception pipelines for imaging or vision sensors, and robust fault handling in safety-critical environments. You will partner with product, QA, and hardware teams to translate clinical requirements into measurable engineering specifications and deliver verified features suitable for regulated device workflows.

Key Responsibilities

You will: define system and software requirements for medical robotics features; develop and maintain robotics software in C++/Python (often ROS 2); implement motion planning, control, and perception modules; integrate sensors (cameras, IMUs, encoders, force/torque) and perform calibration; build simulation and hardware-in-the-loop test setups; create verification and validation plans with traceability from requirements to tests; perform root-cause analysis on field issues and improve reliability; document design decisions to support audits and regulated development practices.

Required Qualifications

Mid-senior experience shipping robotics or safety-critical systems; strong C++ and Python for production robotics code; understanding of robot kinematics/dynamics, control theory, and motion planning; experience with perception, computer vision, or sensor fusion; familiarity with real-time constraints, embedded Linux, and debugging distributed systems; ability to write testable code with clear interfaces and maintainable documentation; comfort collaborating remotely across engineering, QA, and product stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with robot-assisted surgery, rehabilitation robotics, medical imaging integration, or navigation systems; ROS 2 advanced tooling (tf2, lifecycle nodes, QoS tuning); SLAM, tracking, or visual servoing; experience with IEC 62304, ISO 13485, ISO 14971 risk management, and design controls; CI/CD for robotics, test automation, and coverage metrics; exposure to cybersecurity considerations for connected medical devices.

Tools and Tech Stack

Typical stack includes ROS 2, C++, Python, Eigen, OpenCV, point cloud libraries, Linux, Docker, Git, and CI pipelines. Testing may involve simulation, log replay, hardware-in-the-loop, and automated regression suites. Documentation and traceability artifacts support verification and validation for safety-critical medical device development.

How Success Is Measured

Success is measured by: on-time delivery of validated robotics features; measurable improvements in motion accuracy, stability, and task completion rates; reduced defect escape through strong V&V and regression coverage; clear traceability from requirements to tests; robust handling of edge cases, sensor dropouts, and failure modes; maintainable, well-documented modules that enable safe iteration in regulated workflows.

Remote Work Expectations

This is a Remote, FULL_TIME role in the US. You will collaborate asynchronously and in scheduled overlap hours for design reviews, testing milestones, and cross-functional planning. Where hardware access is required, workflows may include remote lab access, log-based debugging, simulation-first validation, and coordinated integration windows.
