About the position
As a Software Engineer Intern on the Robot Software Team, you will be responsible for writing software and ensuring that your code works on an actual surgical robot, not just in simulation. Our robotics integrate actuated devices with microelectromechanical systems as well as novel surgical procedures. These applications place strong emphasis on high-precision, high-repeatability mechanical motion, as well as high reliability and fail-safe design. You will be expected to develop safety-critical software for the robot, take ownership of a project integral to robot functioning from design to implementation under the guidance of a robot software team member, jump on problems when they arise with a strong bias for action to support robot operation by non-software teams, and work across different engineering disciplines; your software may involve interactions with the mechanical, electrical, biological, and neuroscience teams.
Responsibilities
- Develop safety-critical software for the robot; you are responsible for contributing directly to surgery-ready software as an intern
- Take ownership of a project that is integral to robot functioning from design to implementation under the guidance of a robot software team member
- Jump on problems when they arise with a strong bias for action to support robot operation by non-software teams
- Work across different engineering disciplines; your software may involve interactions with the mechanical, electrical, biological, and neuroscience teams
Requirements
- Evidence of exceptional ability in engineering or computer science
- Experience in writing performant applications in a system language like C, C++, and Rust
- Ability to work on mission-critical and safety-critical systems
- Strong bias for action and first principles thinking
Nice-to-haves
- Hands-on experience with robotics or high-reliability systems
- Experience coding in Linux and debugging on Linux systems
- Experience in computer vision
- Experience in kinematics and motion planning
- Experience working on medical robots
- Experience working in a high-precision environment
Benefits
- An opportunity to change the world and work with some of the smartest and most talented experts from different fields
- Growth potential; we rapidly advance team members who have an outsized impact
- Excellent medical, dental, and vision insurance through a PPO plan
- Paid holidays
- Commuter benefits
- Meals provided
- Equity + 401(k) plan *Temporary Employees & Interns excluded
