Impact patient outcomes. Come for a job, stay for a career.
In the Surgical Robotics (SR) business, part of Medtronic’s Medical Surgical Portfolio, we believe patients around the world deserve access to quality care and improved outcomes. We strive to expand global access to care and reduce variability through robotic and analytics solutions.
SURGICAL INNOVATIONS set the standard for Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) by creating innovative surgical products and services.
A Day in the Life
As a Senior Software Engineer, you will be a lead contributor to the software that drives the behavior of the Robotic Assisted Surgery platform. This involves creating sophisticated state machines that coordinate the behavior of multiple computing nodes based on input from users and hardware. You will focus on the design, development, and testing of software that drives the behavior of surgical stapling and bipolar electrosurgical vessel sealing instruments.
Engineers create our market-leading portfolio of innovations. Combine the best of your experience with training and mentorship to move your career forward. If you want a challenging, energizing, rewarding career that changes lives, join us. Help us bring the next generation of life-changing medical technology to patients worldwide.
If you would like to have a big impact on the new world of medical robotics – then come join our team!
