  • Requirements:The ideal candidate has 6+ years of expert modern C++ on production real-time systems, strong Python, depth in 3D computer vision, sensor fusion, robotics control or ML for perception, and calibration, registration and coordinate frames experience.

About the role

Location: San Francisco Bay Area (onsite)

Pay: $170,000–$220,000 + bonus + equity

A venture-backed, commercial-stage medical device company is hiring a staff engineer to own the real-time tracking and automation software in its clinical system. The concept is proven; this role takes it to release.

What you'll do

  • Own real-time tracking, localization and sensor fusion

  • Build a low-latency C++ runtime with GPU acceleration

  • Integrate robotic hardware and closed-loop automated positioning

  • Design safety behavior: interlocks, overrides, degraded modes

  • Run accuracy testing for regulatory verification, and mentor engineers

What you bring

  • 6+ years of expert modern C++ on production real-time systems

  • Strong Python

  • Depth in 3D computer vision, sensor fusion, robotics control or ML for perception

  • Calibration, registration and coordinate frames

  • Owned a subsystem through release

  • MS in CS, engineering, physics or math, or equivalent experience

Nice to have: medical device software standards (IEC 62304, ISO 14971); surgical navigation or robotics; CUDA or TensorRT
