About the role

  • Horizon Surgical Systems Inc. aims to expand access to care, provide superior capabilities to the human surgeon, and enhance patient outcomes.
  • This is an exciting opportunity to join a high-tech startup that is poised to revolutionize surgical robotics in ophthalmology.

Responsibilities

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure high performance of software modules.
  • Engage in pair programming, code reviews, and design discussions to maintain high coding standards.
  • Horizon Surgical Systems Inc. is revolutionizing the world of surgical ophthalmology by developing a novel, AI driven, and imaging-guided surgical robotic system.
  • Microsurgery in general and Ophthalmology are subfields of surgery for which the surgical outcomes can be significantly improved by robotic systems to allow superior dexterity, precision, accuracy, and visualization beyond the human surgeon's own capabilities.
  • We aim to deliver superior patient outcomes and surgeon experiences
  • We achieve our best when we collaborate and work together

Requirements

  • Bachelor's, Master's or Ph.D. degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
  • The ability to enforce deterministic timing, and fail-safe behaviors, in the controls software is paramount to its clinical efficacy and regulatory approval.

Nice to have

  • Ability to analyze latency and jitter of high-frequency data in a distributed system.
  • Experience with software deployment procedures (configuration management, containerized builds, etc.) is preferred.
  • Experience with motor control for serial robotic manipulators is preferred.
  • Experience with kinematics and rigid-body dynamics is helpful for collaborating on control algorithms which use the servo drives that you integrate.

Skills

  • Strong proficiency in modern C++ (at least C++11) is a must.
  • Knowledge of DDS, or an alternative asynchronous structured IPC mechanism (e.g., gRPC).
  • Proficiency with evaluating software architecture in the context of latency-minimization and reliability.
  • 5+ years of modern C++ software development.
  • 5+ years deploying and testing software in a Linux environment.
  • Prior experience working on mission-critical software.
  • Prior experience with medical device development is a plus.
  • Prior experience with robotics software is preferred.
  • Prior experience with embedded C/C++ is useful.
  • Knowledge:
  • Experience with an observability framework is helpful, particularly one tailored to robotics telemetry data.

Compensation

  • Competitive compensation and an excellent company-paid benefits package.

Benefits

  • Strive for the simplest possible, most easily testable software design, to make unit- and integration-test coverage seamless.
  • We are seeking highly motivated, and intellectually inquisitive individuals looking to make a positive impact on healthcare via the development of robotic technology.

Company info

  • We are driven by new ideas and aim to push the boundaries of what's possible
  • We are enriched by constructive criticism and support the best ideas
