• Type: Full-time, in-person

Role: Senior Robotic Software Engineer

As a Senior Robotic 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

• Right to work in the UK.
• Master’s 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 automated testing and quality assurance processes.
• Strong organizational and project management skills.
• Expertise in developing and implementing robotic manipulation algorithms (e.g., motion planning, 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.
