• Utilize expertise in C , and Python to craft high-quality and efficient software solutions.
• Contribute to the design and implementation of software architectures and integrations with hardware systems.
• Develop and execute comprehensive software testing frameworks, leveraging debugging tools for issue identification and resolution.
• Create requirements and formal test protocols for new features.
• Participate in the full cycle of the development of robotic software with AI.
• Utilize and develop software for real-time systems for safe and fault-tolerant software applications.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to design, implement, and program automation systems for medical devices.
• Implement and optimize software modules for path planning, kinematics, and sensor integration, and simulations for testing and development.
• Generate formal design documentation.
  
  
  

Preferred Skills & Hands-On Experience:

• Experience developing medical software systems.
• Experience implementing ROS or ROS2 systems.
• Familiarity with Linux development and system maintenance.
• Familiarity with software testing frameworks and debugging tools.
