Job Description

Software Verification Engineer, Embedded Real-Time (Cambridge, MA)

Verify safety-critical embedded, real-time software that enables core robotic functions for a next-generation robotic surgery platform.

Your role:

• Contribute to the development of a breakthrough robotic surgery platform by verifying embedded, real-time software that powers core robotic functions.
• Collaborate closely with embedded software, systems, controls, and hardware engineering teams to investigate, reproduce, and document defects and to improve test coverage.
• Influence a high-impact clinical product while growing your verification expertise in robotics and image-guided therapy within a global health-technology organization based in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

You're the right fit if:

• You have 3+ years of experience verifying embedded software for real-time systems (individual contributor role; no people leadership required).
• You have Bachelor's / Master's Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology or equivalent.
• You bring strong C++ programming skills and a solid understanding of embedded software architecture and constraints; you can break down complex problems and deliver practical solutions.
• You have practical experience with real-time operating systems (RTOS), embedded Linux, hardware-in-the-loop testing, and building automated and semi-automated test frameworks (e.g., Python plus embedded toolchains).
• You must be able to successfully perform the following minimum Physical, Cognitive and Environmental job requirements with or without accommodation for this position.
• You are comfortable interpreting requirements, producing traceable verification evidence, and working in regulated, multidisciplinary development environments; experience with medical devices, safety-critical systems, robotic motion control, or troubleshooting sensors/actuators is a plus.

How we work together

We believe that we are better together than apart. For our office-based teams, this means working in-person at least 3 days per week. Onsite roles require full-time presence in the company’s facilities. Field roles are most effectively done outside of the company’s main facilities, generally at the customers’ or suppliers’ locations.

(This is an office role.)
