Robotics Controls Engineer
Job description
We are looking for a Robotics Controls Engineer to help build the control systems that power our surgical robotic platform. This is a hands-on engineering role focused on developing, testing, and deploying real robotic systems. You will work closely with software, hardware, and product teams to design solutions that operate reliably in real- world surgical environments. This is not a research-only role. We are looking for engineers who can bridge controls theory and implementation, write production code, and take ownership of problems from concept to deployment.
Job responsibilities
- Design and implement control algorithms for robotic systems.
- Develop production software in C++ and Python.
- Design, test, and deploy robotic features from concept through production.
- Build motion control, estimation, and robotic system behaviors.
- Write tests and validation as a core part of how you build, not an afterthought.
- Debug complex issues across software, controls, and hardware systems.
- Work closely with cross-functional teams to bring new capabilities to the robot.
- Participate in real-world system validation and deployment.
