About the role
- Significant contributor in development of control algorithms supporting legacy, current and future generations of robotic surgical instruments
- Create software solutions that run on a sophisticated real-time embedded platform using embedded sensor and actuator hardware to deliver high-bandwidth, precise and robust instrument response
- Engage with electromechanical design of surgical instruments at all stages with a focus on control software requirements development compatible with test, verification, and validation of a safety-critical system
- Design and develop software in Matlab - Simulink and Stateflow that enables surgeons and operating-room staff to control “Hugo”; a Robotic Assisted Surgery System
- Integrate and test new controller software on hardware and with the rest of the robotic platform
- Contribute to the development of model based control system for Hugo
- Partner with the greater software organization, systems engineering, and validation groups
- Define and review software requirements
- Conduct hardware-in-loop testing of prototype as well as product software
- Act as an independent reviewer of Simulink models to ensure that all software meets quality standards
- Prepare and participate in design reviews
- Document or participate in the documentation of the software including architecture and design detail, unit testing, anomaly tracking and reports
Requirements
- Bachelor’s Degree with 4 to 8 years of relevant experience, or advanced degree with 4+ years of relevant experience
- Experience developing software to control complex dynamical systems, preferably in regulated industries
- Experience in analysis of complex dynamical systems (mechatronics preferred)
- Proficient use of Matlab - Simulink and Stateflow to design and develop complex software products
- Experience in Embedded C/C++ software development
- Experience with real-time operating systems (QNX/VxWorks or equivalent)
- Design and implementation of safety critical software – includes risk analyses, Failure Modes and Effects Analysis, Redundancy, Coding Standards and Verification of software implementations
- Strong understanding of the fundamentals in signal processing, especially in the context of discrete systems
- Knowledge of software development processes such as the V-model, requirement engineering, impact analysis
- Good communication and stakeholder management skills
- Experience developing software in a Linux environment (nice to have)
- Familiarity with virtual machines, networking concepts (nice to have)
- Experience with build automation, code coverage, unit testing, static analysis, debugging, and source control (git preferred) (nice to have)
- Familiarity with Simulink Coder and an in-depth understanding of code generation (nice to have)
- Knowledge of mathematics for controlling robotic systems, including multi-body kinematics, feedback controllers, and signal processing (nice to have)
- Experience with medical product development, regulatory processes, safety considerations, and hands-on experience with medical devices and surgical instruments (nice to have)
- Strong interpersonal skills and attention to detail, ability to work collaboratively with cross-functional teams
- Experience in model-based product software development for real-time applications
- Unit and integration testing of software
- Software testing with plant models
- Software architecture design and documentation
