With the Medtronic Mission as our North Star, we 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.”
As a Controls Software Engineer working at Medtronic, you will be a significant contributor in the development of control algorithms that supports, legacy, current and future generations of robotic surgical instruments. You will 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:
Design and develop software in Simulink that enables surgeons and operating-room staff to control “Hugo”; a Robotic Assisted Surgery System
Integrate and test new controller software on hardware and with the rest of the robotic platform.
Contribute to the continuous improvement of verification methods.
Partner with the greater software organization, systems engineering, and validation groups
Define and review software requirements.
Conduct hardware-in-loop testing of prototype as well as product software.
Act as an independent reviewer of Simulink models to ensure that all software meets quality standards.
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.
Bachelor’s Degree with 6 to 9 years of relevant experience, or advanced degree with 4+ years of relevant experience.
