A Day in the Life

As a Software Engineer I you will apply computer science and software engineering fundamentals to develop world-class software solutions for surgical navigation and robotics platforms. You will write clean testable code; work with structured and semi-structured data (including complex JSON); and build reliable integrations between software services and medical device hardware. You will also use modern AI-enabled development approaches to accelerate delivery reduce repetitive work through automation simplify developer and user workflows and improve system performancewhile maintaining high standards for safety quality and traceability. As an entry-level engineer you will prepare plans for your work follow technical direction from senior engineers select the most promising concepts and implement opportunities for productivity and quality improvement under guidance.

You will work closely with other software development teams and cross-functional teams using Agile methodologies and workflows where appropriate. You will ensure tests pass relative to design specifications prepare formal documentation and educate stakeholders regarding solutions. You will provide solutions that require the regular use of ingenuity and creativity and work is performed under only general direction to determine the technical objectives of assignments.

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

• Design develop test and document customer-facing software components supporting integration of hardware and software related to surgical navigation and robotics products.

• Design develop test and document internal software components and infrastructure to support efficient development of software components related to surgical navigation and robotics products.

• Develop and consume APIs and data interfaces; parse validate and transform complex JSON payloads; and implement robust error handling and logging.

• Create developer tooling and automation (e.g. scripts) to analyze datasets improve build/test workflows and increase development efficiency.

• Apply AI tools responsibly to generate and refine code tests documentation and data transformations accelerating delivery and improving consistency.

• Build AI-assisted automation to reduce manual steps in development and support processes (e.g. data validation log triage regression analysis) creating simpler and more reliable workflows.

• Use data-driven methods (profiling instrumentation and analysis) to identify bottlenecks and implement changes that improve performance reliability and scalability.

• Participate in requirements gathering estimating and planning efforts.

• Interface with mechanical electrical systems and test engineers as well as quality assurance and regulatory compliance teams.

• Troubleshoot debug maintain and support existing products.

• Participate in ongoing professional development activities.
