Johnson & Johnson is looking to solve complex diseases by developing advanced healthcare solutions, specifically in the area of robotics for surgical procedures to enhance healthcare providers' abilities and improve patient outcomes.
Requirements
- Strong proficiency in modern C++ (C++14/17/20), Python, and scripting tools (e.g., Bash).
- Experience with real-time operating systems (QNX, RT Linux) in safety-critical systems is required.
- Good understanding and proficiency with multi-threaded applications is required.
- Experience driving architectural reviews and advocating for long-term software quality and maintainability.
- Good understanding of robotics fundamentals is heavily preferred but not absolutely necessary: FK/IK, classic/modern control theory techniques, system modeling, etc. is preferred.
- Hands-on experience with surgical robotics or complex electromechanical systems is preferred.
- Practical knowledge of linear algebra, robotics, control theory, and applied mathematics is preferred.
Responsibilities
- Develop production-grade C++ software for robotic control and surgical workflows.
- Design and implement efficient algorithms (kinematics, dynamics, motion planning).
- Contribute to software architecture, infrastructure, and reusable frameworks.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams (systems, software, hardware, clinical, quality, etc.).
- Support regulatory documentation and validation (e.g., FDA 510(k), risk analysis).
- Lead code reviews, testing strategies, and continuous integration efforts.
- Prototype and validate novel robotic features and surgical instrument behaviors.
Other
- Individual contributor role that requires strong collaboration, leadership, and influence skills to be successful.
- Excellent communication, collaboration, and influencing skills are essential.
- Ability and willingness to be based in Santa Clara CA and ability to travel up to 5%, domestic and international is required.
- Experience in regulated industries (medical devices, aerospace, automotive) is preferred.
- Proven ability to work in agile, collaborative environments and take ownership. is required.
