Every minute matters in stroke treatment. Magnendo is developing robotic technology to make life-saving endovascular procedures faster, safer, and more accessible. By combining advanced robotics, magnetic navigation, and intelligent software, we are tackling one of the most technically demanding challenges in healthcare while aiming to expand access to advanced stroke care for patients around the world. Join us in shaping the future of endovascular intervention.
We're looking for a Principal Robotics & Controls Systems Engineer to lead the algorithmic approach and system architecture behind our robotics and controls system – defining the models, algorithms, and system-level tradeoffs that drive effective magnetic navigation.Â
You Will:
Own the algorithmic approach and system architecture for our robotic magnetic navigation system, including magnetic field optimization, collision-aware motion planning, kinematic trajectory optimization, time parametrization, execution, and controlÂ
Design magnetic field optimization algorithms, from first-principles modeling through simulation and validationÂ
Design motion planning algorithms for a kinematically redundant system in a complex, highly constrained environmentÂ
Drive design decisions using first-principles engineering analysis, simulation, prototyping, and hands-on testingÂ
Define and review requirements, test plans, and acceptance criteria for robotics and controls system componentsÂ
Collaborate closely with computer vision, software, and hardware engineers to integrate planning and control into the broader systemÂ
Support risk analysis, design reviews, and root-cause investigations for robotics and controls algorithms and system design Â
You Are:
9+ years of experience in robotics, controls, and motion planning engineering and demonstrated ability to deliver the types of algorithmic and system design work described aboveÂ
Strong fundamentals in robotic path planning and trajectory optimization, including sampling-based planners and constrained nonlinear optimization with analytic gradients, as well as motion control, manipulator kinematics for redundant arms, and/or state estimationÂ
A great collaborator who understands the importance of clear communication and humilityÂ
Experienced with algorithm and system design in an environment with high reliability requirements, preferably under a regulatory regimeÂ
Comfortable serving as a technical authority — providing design guidance and review to internal engineers and external contractors alikeÂ
Able to operate with the judgment and independence expected of a Principal-level engineer — sets technical direction with limited oversight, while holding the line on rigor where it matters mostÂ
Able to clearly convey complex robotics and controls tradeoffs to cross-functional teams and external partnersÂ
Proficient with Python and C++ for algorithm development, modeling, and simulation, with working knowledge of LinuxÂ
Bonus Points:
Experience in the medical device industry, ideally with interventional or robotic systemsÂ
Experience with magnetic actuation, catheter/guidewire systems, or neurovascular/endovascular devicesÂ
Familiarity with robotics development tools such as Drake, ROS, Moveit, RVIZ, Gazebo, and Isaac SimÂ
Experience with haptics or teleoperationÂ
Working knowledge of medical device software requirements (e.g., IEC 62304, IEC 60601)Â Â
