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 LifeAs a Principal Controls Software Engineer working at Medtronic, you will provide technical leadership in the research and development of software that supports future generations of surgical robotic systems
You will lead SW teams, but also work as an individual contributor to create control solutions that run on early stage as well as released real-time embedded platforms, using embedded sensor and actuator hardware to deliver high-bandwidth, precise and robust system behavior. This role will involve engagement with the electromechanical design of proof of concepts and early-stage prototypes – with a focus on controls and robot kinematics for de-risking concept selection
In addition, this role will involve scope and team planning for software resources and leading the software team technically during project execution.Responsibilities may include the following and other duties may be assigned: Partner with project leads, the greater software organization, systems engineering, and validation groups to scope and guide software development for early-stage prototype projects. Leading software teams as Software technical lead in surgical robotic prototype projects. As an individual contributor, develop and implement prototypic controls for proof-of-concepts. In collaboration with the larger software organization, develop and implement prototype software frameworks for early-stage proof-of-concepts. Prepare and conduct design reviews. Support project transition into the product development phase Grow into an independent project lead that will manage resource, budget, and project planning needs.Must Have: Minimum Requirements Bachelor’s Degree with 7 years of relevant experience, or advanced degree with 5 years of relevant experience. Nice to Have* Demonstrated ability to lead teams in prototype software creation.
