This position is located in Santa Clara, CA. At J&J Robotics we're changing the trajectory of health for humanity, using robotics to enhance healthcare providers' abilities and improve patients' diagnoses, treatments, and recovery times.
J&J Robotics was established in 2020 with the integration of Auris Health, Verb Surgical, C-SATS, and Ethicon.
It comprises three key med-tech platforms: Flexible Robotics (MONARCH), Surgical Robotics (OTTAVA), and Digital Solutions.
Join our collaborative, rapidly growing teams in the San Francisco Bay Area, Cincinnati, and Seattle.
You'll collaborate on breakthrough medical technologies that unite multiple subject areas to build a connected digital ecosystem that advances medical professionals' skills and improves patient outcomes. The Senior Robotic Software Engineer will work with the rest of the Robotics and Control team as well as the Clinical, SW, Hardware and Systems Engineering teams to bring to life the control of the surgical robot and instruments. Were looking for a Senior Robotics Software Engineer to develop high-performance software for next-generation robotic surgical systems.
Youll work on real-time control, system and software architecture, and safety-critical applications that directly impact patient outcomes.
This role blends deep software engineering expertise with robotics fundamentals in a regulated, multidisciplinary environment.
The successful candidate will have the capacity to work closely with engineers from software, hardware, systems, quality, regulatory, and other subject areas. The candidate should be self-motivated, curious, and have the desire to bring the latest software technologies into the medical world.
This is an individual contributor role that requires strong collaboration, leadership, and influence skills to be successful.
We valuesoftware craftsmanship, architectural thinking, and proactive problem-solvingabove all.
This role offers the opportunity to contribute directly to the software infrastructure and algorithms that power next-generation robotic-assisted surgery. Key Responsibilities: * Develop production-grade C software for robotic control and surgical workflows. * Design and implement efficient algorithms (kinematics, dynamics, motion planning). * Contribute to software architecture, infrastructure, and reusable frameworks. * Collaborate with cross-functional teams (systems, software, hardware, clinical, quality, etc.). * Support regulatory documentation and validation (e.g., FDA 510(k), risk analysis). * Lead code reviews, testing strategies, and continuous integration efforts. * Prototype and validate novel robotic features and surgical instrument behaviors. Qualifications - Education and Experience: One of the following combinations of years of experience and education are required: A.) a B.S.
degree in a technical discipline (e.g.
Computer Science, Computer Engineering, EE, ME, or equivalent) combined with 6 years of relevant post-academic experience OR B.) a M.S.
degree in a technical discipline combined with 4 years of relevant post-academic experience OR C.)a PhD in a technical discipline combined with 2 years of relevant post-academic experience Additional Qualifications: * Strong proficiency in modern C (C 14/17/20), Python, and scripting tools (e.g., Bash).
Experience must be on combination hardware/software products is required. * Solid experience working in all aspects of software development from concept and requirements through development, testing, traceability, release, and maintenance is required. * Experience with real-time operating systems (QNX, RT Linux) in safety-critical systems is required. * Good understanding and proficiency with multi-threaded applications is required. * Proven ability to work in agile, collaborative environments and take ownership.
is required. * Experience driving architectural reviews and advocating for long-term software quality and maintainability.
is required. * Proven ability to take ownership of tasks, and proactively propose improvements to a large codebase is required. * Excellent communication, collaboration, and influencing skills are essential. * Ability and willingness to be based in Santa Clara CA and ability to travel up to 5%, domestic and international is required. * Experience in regulated industries (medical devices, aerospace, automotive) is preferred. * Advanced degree in Robotics, CS, EE, ME, or related field is preferred. * Good understanding of robotics fundamentals is heavily preferred but not absolutely necessary: FK/IK, classic/modern control theory techniques, system modeling, etc.
is preferred. * Hands-on experience with surgical robotics or complex electromechanical systems is preferred. * Practical knowledge of linear algebra, robotics, control theory, and applied mathematics is preferred. * Understanding of CI/CD tools and build systems is preferred. * Familiarity with Rust or other modern programming languages is a huge plus is preferred. * Proficiency in LLMs and ML techniques to enable innovation in advanced projects is preferred.
