Staff Software Engineer Embedded UI

Job description

As a Staff Software Engineer Embedded UI on the Future Forward team, you will develop innovative digital solutions to extend Intuitive’s robotic product lines. Collaborating with experts in robotics, imaging, and software, you will build innovative and Intuitive digital interfaces for novel robotic platforms. This role spans the entire development cycle—from prototyping approximate requirements to delivering high-quality production code. The ideal candidate is an independent problem-solver with a broad technical scope (software, graphics, robotics) who learns quickly and thrives in a collaborative environment.

Job responsibilities

  • Drive development of world-class digital interfaces using Qt/QML and C++ in a resource-constrained embedded environment to support physicians in the use of a novel robotic system
  • Build and maintain effective working relationships across the organization, including software engineering, clinical engineering, design, human factors, and regulatory teams
  • Partner with cross-functional teams to define technical architecture, decompose requirements, and deliver robust, production-quality solutions
  • Own the medical device software lifecycle end-to-end, including requirement definition, risk assessment, prototyping, development, verification, and release

Job requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, or a related field
  • Minimum of 8 years of industry experience; or Master’s degree and 6 years of experience; or a PhD and 3 years of experience, with a proven track record of shipping production-quality UI software to products
  • Strong working knowledge of C++ (11/14/17+) and object-oriented design principles
  • Strong communication skills and ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders
  • Previous experience as a tech lead (formal or informal), with demonstrated ability to drive projects from initial concept to fully implemented solutions
  • Demonstrated experience across phases of the product lifecycle, including design, implementation, debug, verification, and maintenance
  • Experience with Qt and/or QML
  • Experience with 3D graphics frameworks (Qt3D, OpenGL, Vulkan, etc.)
