If projects are within your core field of expertise and needed, you might represent R&D function, as the R&D core team member, to work with the core team consisting of Marketing, Quality, Regulatory, Program Management and Operations to make critical decisions regarding projects execution and future product roadmap.
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 are a pioneer and would like to have a big impact into the new world of medical robotics – then come join our team!

Responsibilities may include the following and other duties may be assigned:

• Specification, implementation and testing of FPGA-based solutions for robotics, advanced vision systems, electromechanical control systems, sensor designs, high speed computing, hardware acceleration and real-time communication systems
• Development of verification plans and testbenches for our design solutions leveraging advanced verification methods (e. g. UVM)
• Ensuring a safe, secure, and reliable product in the field of your expertise
• Ensuring design deliverables align with the Electrical and Software architecture
• Participation in PCBA design reviews, systems / subsystems architecture reviews
• Collaboration with the other Hardware, Systems, DevOps, and Software teams
• Finding solutions to make development and verification more efficient and automated and improving quality

Required Knowledge and Experience:

• Bachelor’s Degree in electrical engineering or related field and at least 4 years of relevant experience
• Knowledge and experience in designing modular FPGA solutions, and typical system architectures and design patterns for SoC and embedded processing systems design
• Experience in FPGA development (sound VHDL knowledge, FPGA design flow, simulation, synthesis, mapping, and timing closure) preferably on Xilinx devices
• Knowledge of most common communication interfaces (e.g., I2C, SPI, UART, USB, PCIe)
• Experience with Xilinx FPGA and SoC, development flow and associated tools
• Experience with EDA tools (build, code coverage, static timing analysis, source control, etc.)

A strong candidate would ideally bring experience in embedded firmware development using C/C++, including familiarity with BSP/FSBL, QNX, Embedded Linux, or RTOS. A background in PCBA design and the ability to interpret schematics is beneficial, along with hands-on knowledge of motors, electro-mechanics, sensors, and low-level control interfaces. Familiarity with real-time communication protocols, particularly EtherCAT, as well as Verilog/SystemVerilog and verification methodologies like UVM, would be advantageous.
