  • Minimum 3 years of relevant robotics experience (strong coders with 1 year + internships may be considered)
  • Expertise in C++ and/or Python
  • Experience with Linux-based systems
  • Experience with cloud technologies

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with ROS/ROS2 (Robot Operating System)
  • Familiarity with Agile or Scrum development methodologies
  • Exposure to medical or healthcare technologies

  • Candidate must be comfortable viewing real surgical procedures during onsite visits
  • Candidate must be available to travel up to once per month to customer sites
  • Not open to OPT candidates
