Staff Design Engineer

What you will do:

• Design and build (in C++) anatomy registration methods and algorithms to match the anatomy CT image to patient bone in robotic surgery .

• Simulate accuracy and robustness of anatomy registration methods. Build and use tools (Matlab, Python, Monte-Carlo, FEA, Minitab, etc.) to simulate accuracy of anatomy registration, localization system, and robotic platform. Apply statistics approaches to data to compare simulated accuracy result to requirement.
• Test and debug anatomy registration C++ code .
• Work with interdisciplinary team to execute cadaver labs to evaluate performance and surgeon acceptance of anatomy registration. Post process lab data to drive anatomy registration direction.
• Develop (in C++) and maintain applications to assess bone registration performance
• Author documentation that describes the software design and algorithms

What you need:

Minimum Qualifications (Required):

• BS degree in Computer Science or related areas. MS or PhD preferred.
• 4+ years of experience, experience in professional software development preferred
• Strong fundamentals in algorithms and data structures
• Object-oriented design and analysis
• software design, development and verification methodologies
• C, C++, Matlab and Python development experience

Preferred Qualifications:                            

• Background in 3D graphics and geometry,
• Linux-based software development skills, experience
