About The Position

Magnendo is developing robotic technology to make endovascular procedures faster, safer, and more accessible by combining advanced robotics, magnetic navigation, and intelligent software. The Software Engineer will help design, build, and test software for the company’s robotic magnetic navigation platform, working across motion planning, robotics, perception, and infrastructure and systems software. This hands-on role offers opportunities to deepen expertise in one or more specialty areas while gaining working familiarity with the broader software stack and collaborating with Principal engineers. Level and compensation will be based on experience; candidates may be leveled as Engineer or Senior Engineer based on years of experience and demonstrated scope of impact.

The role involves developing production software in a high-reliability environment using modern high-reliability practices and a regulatory V-model framework. The engineer will integrate their work into the broader system and contribute to engineering analysis, simulation, prototyping, testing, requirements, risk analysis, design reviews, and root-cause investigations.

Requirements

• 3–8 years of production software engineering experience, with strong fundamentals in robotics, motion planning, perception, or systems and infrastructure software.
• Experience developing production software in a high-reliability environment; experience under a regulatory regime is preferred.
• Experience developing software for edge compute platforms.
• Proficiency in C++ and Python, including real-time performance considerations, memory management, and software design patterns.
• Interest in working in a high-reliability, safety-critical environment.
• Ability to take ownership of discrete features or modules from design through validation.
• Comfort with Linux and GIT.
• Strong collaboration skills, clear communication, and humility.
• Ability to clearly convey complex tradeoffs to cross-functional teams and external partners.

Nice To Haves

• Experience in the medical device industry, ideally with interventional or robotic systems.
• Experience with robotics, hardware, and/or real-time control systems.
• Familiarity with robotics development tools such as Drake, ROS, MoveIt, RVIZ, Gazebo, and Isaac Sim.
• Experience with computer vision, 3D sensing, or medical/domain-specific imaging such as fluoroscopy, ultrasound, or CT/MRI.
• Experience with real-time Linux or other real-time operating systems such as QNX, interprocess communications, or embedded systems.
• Experience with continuous integration, automated testing, or cybersecurity.
• Prior experience in a regulated industry.

Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and test production software in one or more core technical areas: motion planning, robotics, perception, or core software infrastructure.
• Build and maintain unit and integration tests within a highly testable, modular software architecture.
• Own integration of developed work into the broader system.
• Support design decisions with engineering analysis, simulation, prototyping, and hands-on testing.
• Collaborate with systems and test engineers to define and review requirements, test plans, and acceptance criteria.
• Support risk analysis, design reviews, and root-cause investigations.
• Develop software using modern high-reliability practices and a regulatory V-model framework.
• Develop expertise in one or more specialty areas while building working familiarity with the rest of the software stack.
