• Ensuring device safety, stability, and performance in compliance with standards such as IEC 62304 and ISO 14971?
• Continuously improving software through verification, validation, and modern development practices such as CI/CD?
• Collaborating in cross-functional teams with Development, Project Management, Production, Service, and Procurement?
• Maintaining and improving existing products by managing software updates, component-driven changes, and lifecycle challenges?
• Contributing to technical documentation in compliance with regulatory and quality requirements?

WE MATCH WITH PEOPLE WHO…

• Take ownership and proactively drive technical solutions in a complex, regulated environment
• Thrive in multidisciplinary, agile teams and collaborate effectively across functions
• Combine strong analytical thinking with a hands-on, solution-oriented mindset
• Maintain high quality and documentation discipline in line with medical device standards
• Appreciate the importance of lifecycle engineering and actively contribute to sustaining and improving existing products
• Communicate clearly and transparently, and can influence stakeholders across the organization
• Are motivated to innovate and push the boundaries of medical robotics

YOU BRING…

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Electronics Engineering, or a related field
• At least 3 years of experience in embedded software development for robotics, automation, or medical devices
• Strong proficiency in C/C++ for embedded systems, with experience in Matlab/Simulink for control algorithm prototyping
• Experience with real-time operating systems (RTOS) and microcontroller programming (STM32 is a plus)
• Solid understanding of classical and modern control theory with hands-on implementation experience
• Familiarity with safety-critical system design and medical device standards (e.g., IEC 62304, ISO 14971, ISO 13485)
• Experience in verification, validation, and technical documentation in regulated environments
• Fluent English; German is an advantage

Leading. Innovative. Reliable. Humane. Integrity. Passionate.
