Careers that Change Lives

​​​​​​​In this role, you will join a world class team of mechanical, electrical and software engineers responsible for further development and enhancement of the globally launched Robotic Assisted Surgery platform within the Surgical Operating unit: https://www.medtronic.com/covidien/en-us/robotic-assisted-surgery/hugo-ras-system.html

Medtronic’s Surgical Operating Unit is one new, powerful operating unit bringing together the people and product portfolio of Surgical Robotics and Surgical Innovations. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​With the Medtronic Mission as our North Star, we will build on our legacy of proven surgical solutions and advance the promise of robotics and digital solutions for the benefit of the customers and patients we serve. 

Make your impact by exploring a career with the world’s leading Medical Device company, striving “to alleviate pain, restore health, and extend life.” 

A Day in The Life

As a Principal Controls Software Engineer working at Medtronic, you will provide technical leadership in the development of software that supports, legacy, current and future generations of robotic surgical instruments. You will lead teams to create software solutions that run on a sophisticated real-time embedded platform, using embedded sensor and actuator hardware to deliver high-bandwidth, precise and robust instrument response. In addition, this role will involve engagement with the electromechanical design of surgical instruments at all stages – with a focus on control software requirements development that is compatible with the test, verification, and validation of a safety-critical system. 

Responsibilities may include the following and other duties may be assigned:

  •        Leading multiple scrum teams as Software Technical Lead to support development of surgical robotic instrument project.
  •        Oversee design feedback control algorithms in MATLAB/Simulink using classical PID control laws or advanced control methods and update/tune existing software implementation to support released products.
  •        Contribute to the continuous improvement of verification methods.
  •        Partner with the greater software organization, systems engineering, and validation groups to define and review software requirements.
  •        Act as an independent reviewer of MATLAB/Simulink models to ensure that all software meets quality standards and follow proper architecture.
  •        Prepare and participate in design reviews.
  • Document or participate in the documentation of the software including architecture and design detail, unit testing, anomaly tracking and reports.

Must Have: Minimum Requirements
