Job Overview
As a Senior Robotics Software Engineer, you will play a critical role in leading the software validation process and developing sophisticated robotic manipulation algorithms for our next-generation colonoscopy platform. Reporting directly to the R&D Director, you will collaborate across disciplines to ensure our robotic systems meet the highest standards of performance and safety.
Responsibilities
* Drive the software validation process, ensuring robust, reliable, and regulatory-compliant systems.
* Design, develop, and implement advanced robotic manipulation algorithms for navigation, control, and automation of robotic endoscopy systems.
* Architect, write, and test embedded and application-level software to support real-time robotic functions.
* Collaborate with hardware, firmware, and systems teams to translate requirements into software specifications and actionable development plans.
* Own and implement critical software sub-systems, continuously enhancing the device's capabilities by adding new functionality.
* Mentor peers and junior engineers through thoughtful software design guidance and thorough code reviews.
* Gain a deep understanding of the current system, proactively assisting in debugging complex issues as they arise.
* Plan, execute, and document software verification and validation protocols in accordance with medical device standards.
* Maintain comprehensive software documentation and contribute to regulatory submissions (DHF, Tech File, etc.).
* Support risk management processes by participating in DFMEA, PFMEA, and hazard analyses for software components.
* Participate in code reviews, design reviews, and multidisciplinary brainstorming sessions, while ensuring all software designs, reviews, and processes are thoroughly documented.
Qualifications
* Masters degree (or equivalent experience) in Robotics, Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.
* Proven experience in robotic software development preferably within the medical device or regulated environment.
* Demonstrated success in software validation and verification, ideally with exposure to medical device standards (e.g., IEC 62304, ISO 13485).
* Strong organizational and project management skills.
* Right to work in the UK + right to travel to USA and EU without visa.
Key Competencies
* Expertise in developing and implementing robotic manipulation algorithms (e.g., motion planning, control, perception integration).
* Proficiency in C++, Python, or related languages for robotic software development.
* Strong grasp of software validation methodologies, automated testing, and quality assurance processes.
* Knowledge of ISO 13485, MDD/IVDD, IEC 60601x, ISO 14971, and risk management documentation is a plus.
Communication
Excellent communication skills are essential, as you will collaborate closely with multidisciplinary teams, present findings, and contribute to a culture of innovation and excellence.
