A Day in The Life

As a Senior Controls Software Engineer working at Medtronic, you will be a significant contributor in the development of control algorithms that supports, legacy, current and future generations of robotic surgical instruments. You will create software solutions that run on a sophisticated real-time embedded platform, using embedded sensor and actuator hardware to deliver high-bandwidth, precise and robust instrument response. In addition, this role will involve engagement with the electromechanical design of surgical instruments at all stages – with a focus on control software requirements development that is compatible with the test, verification, and validation of a safety-critical system.

• Responsibilities may include the following and other duties may be assigned:
• Design and develop software in Simulink that enables surgeons and operating-room staff to control “Hugo”; a Robotic Assisted Surgery System
• Integrate and test new controller software on hardware and with the rest of the robotic platform.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of verification methods.
• Partner with the greater software organization, systems engineering, and validation groups
• Define and review software requirements.
• Conduct hardware-in-loop testing of prototype as well as product software.
• Act as an independent reviewer of Simulink models to ensure that all software meets quality standards.
• Prepare and participate in design reviews.
• Document or participate in the documentation of the software including architecture and design detail, unit testing, anomaly tracking and reports.
