Sr./Staff Robotics Software Engineer

Shifamed•Campbell, CA

About The Position

As a Sr./Staff Robotics Software Engineer, you will engineer the intelligence behind a revolutionary robotic platform for interventional cardiology. You will work at the challenging intersection where software meets physics—designing the real-time motion planning, fault-tolerant controls, and system integrations that make our device safe and precise. This is not just about writing code; it is about owning critical subsystems of a life-saving device. You will drive technical decisions, build high-fidelity simulations, and deliver production-grade software that translates complex algorithms into clinical reality.
