Primary Function of Position:
The engineer in this position will play an important role on the vision automation, test and calibration software engineering team to enable the manufacturing of vision systems for surgical robots. The position will be responsible for the design, development, release, deployment, documentation, and sustaining of software and algorithms for test and calibration of the vision systems of multiport da Vinci systems. The position will require close collaboration with product development teams, systems analysts, electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, manufacturing engineers, and quality engineers to build a coherent test and calibration strategy and develop software to implement the same.
Roles and Responsibilities:
This role requires but is not limited to:
Design, develop, release, deploy, and document software applications for the test and calibration of vision systems for multiport da Vinci robotic systems
Integrate and implement illumination measurement systems and closely related algorithms for test and calibration of vision systems
Work closely with system/embedded software team to create and maintain new APIs to support test and calibration
Builds and maintain software infrastructures for rapid development of test and calibration fixtures
Understand each new product’s operation and control, and develop the means to ensure their integrity in volume production
Design, document, and qualify software for use in manufacturing new vision systems
Follow good software development practices
Work independently to overcome roadblocks with minimum guidance
Take ownership of manufacturing software and work with cross-functional teams to drive projects to completion
Support existing production software
Qualifications
Skill/Job Requirements:
Strong programming skill and experience with C#, or Python, or C/C++
