Description

As a Staff Software Engineer, you will engineer the intelligence behind a revolutionary robotic platform for interventional cardiology. You will work at the challenging intersection where software meets physics—designing the real-time motion planning, fault-tolerant controls, and system integrations that make our device safe and precise. This is not just about writing code; it is about owning critical subsystems of a life-saving device. You will drive technical decisions, build high-fidelity simulations, and deliver production-grade software that translates complex algorithms into clinical reality.

Responsibilities, Skills & Hands-On Experience

• Utilize expertise in C++, and Python to craft high-quality and efficient software solutions.
• Contribute to the design and implementation of software architectures and integrations with hardware systems.
• Develop and execute comprehensive software testing frameworks, leveraging debugging tools for issue identification and resolution.
• Create requirements and formal test protocols for new features.
• Participate in the full cycle of the development of robotic software with AI.
• Utilize and develop software for real-time systems for safe and fault-tolerant software applications.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to design, implement, and program automation systems for medical devices.
• Implement and optimize software modules for path planning, kinematics, and sensor integration, and simulations for testing and development.

Preferred Skills & Hands-On Experience

• Experience developing medical software systems.
• Experience implementing ROS or ROS2 systems.
• Familiarity with Linux development and system maintenance.
• Familiarity with software testing frameworks and debugging tools.

Education & Work Experience

• MS or PhD degree in CS, EE, Robotics or a related field.
• Minimum of 5 years of relevant experience.
• Minimum 4+ years of software development experience.
• Minimum 2+ years of experience in relevant algorithm development.
• Demonstrated ability to systematically troubleshoot and debug complex systems.
• Proficiency in programming using C++ and Python, and experience with OOP design.
• Proven experience in robotic software development, with a focus on automation systems, demonstrating a deep understanding of real-world applications.
• Experience with software development life cycles including design, implementation, deployment, and maintenance for products or production grade systems.
• Experience with software development process in a regulated medical device environment is a plus.
• High levels of independence and technical ownership.
• Experiences with SQA and software release and deployment process.

Our salary ranges are calculated by role, level, and location. Please note that your position within that range will be determined by your job-related knowledge, location, skills, experience, relevant education, and training/certifications. The base salary range for this full-time position is between $170,000 - $220,000 + equity + benefits.
