Lead Robotics Engineer, Endovascular Magnetic Navigation

Magnendo; Newton (MA); Hybrid; USD 150,000 - 210,000; Full time

Job summary

Magnendo Corp. is advancing robotic magnetic navigation for endovascular interventions and seeks a Principal Robotics Engineer to lead algorithmic approaches and system architecture.

You will define models, algorithms, and system-level tradeoffs that enable safe, scalable navigation in complex environments. The role requires deep expertise in robotics, controls, and motion planning, with a track record of delivering algorithmic and system design work in high-reliability settings.

Qualifications

• 9+ years of experience in robotics, controls, and motion planning engineering.
• Strong fundamentals in robotic path planning and trajectory optimization, including sampling-based planners and constrained nonlinear optimization.
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills.
• Experience in high-reliability environments, preferably regulated regimes.
• Technical authority: able to provide design guidance and review to teams and contractors.
• Independence and technical leadership expected at Principal level with limited oversight.
• Ability to convey complex robotics tradeoffs to cross-functional teams and external partners.
• Proficient in Python and C++ for algorithm development; working knowledge of Linux.

Responsibilities

• Own the algorithmic approach and system architecture for robotic magnetic navigation, including motion planning, trajectory optimization, timing, and control.
• Design motion planning for a redundant robot in a constrained environment.
• Drive decisions using first-principles analysis, simulations, prototyping, and hands-on testing.
• Define requirements, test plans, and acceptance criteria for robotics components.
• Collaborate with vision, software, and hardware teams to integrate planning and control.
• Support risk analyses, design reviews, and root-cause investigations.
