robot is ready for the patient, every single time.

In this role, you'll own the software and test systems that make that proof possible – from

subassemblies through full system integration. Working at the interface of hardware and software,

fixtures that run them, and make sure every test software change reaches the production line cleanly.

You'll thrive here if you love getting your hands on real hardware, debugging across mechanical,
