Senior Robotics C++ Software Engineer

Join a pioneering team at the forefront of surgical robotics innovation. Our client is developing a next-generation, AI-driven, image-guided robotic system designed to enhance the precision, dexterity, and outcomes of ophthalmic and microsurgical procedures. This is your opportunity to make a tangible impact on global healthcare by building technology that elevates human capability and improves patient lives.

As a Senior Robotics C++ Software Engineer
, you’ll play a key role in designing and implementing the core software architecture that powers an advanced surgical robotic platform. You’ll work closely with experts in AI, imaging, and mechanical engineering to develop deterministic, safety-critical control systems that meet the stringent demands of real-world surgical environments.

• Architecting and implementing real-time motion control software using modern C++ (C++11 and above)
• Supporting systems with Ether
  
  CAT servo drives, safety redundancy, and fail-safe diagnostics
• Debugging hardware interactions, Linux kernel latency, and real-time performance issues
• Collaborating across disciplines to bring up new peripherals and ensure robust, safe operation
• Conducting rigorous software testing with both hardware and simulation environments

• Bachelor’s, Master’s, or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or related field
• 5+ years of experience developing software in modern C++
• 5+ years deploying and testing in Linux environments

• Deep understanding of deterministic control systems and cascaded loop optimization
• Strong skills in Linux systems programming (pthreads, shared memory, pipes, etc.)
• Experience with ROS 2, gRPC, or similar asynchronous IPC frameworks
• Proficiency in debugging and performance profiling using gdb or equivalent tools
• Familiarity with functional safety standards (e.g., ISO 26262) is advantageous
• Bonus: background in kinematics, motion planning, or embedded C/C++

• Strong analytical mindset and problem-solving ability
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills
• Comfort working hands-on with hardware in a lab or workshop environment
• Passion for innovation, teamwork, and accountability

• The chance to help build the future of surgical robotics and intelligent automation
• A collaborative, fast-paced startup environment with cross-disciplinary innovation
• Competitive compensation and a comprehensive benefits package

This is a unique opportunity for a technically exceptional engineer who thrives at the intersection of robotics, real-time software, and healthcare innovation. If you’re ready to help redefine what’s possible in surgical precision, we’d love to hear from you.
