Job description
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 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.
You Will:
Own the algorithmic approach and system architecture for our robotic magnetic navigation system, including collision-awaremotion planning, kinematic trajectory optimization, time parametrization, execution, and control
Design motion planning algorithms for a kinematically redundant system in a complex, highly constrained environment
Drive design decisions using first-principles engineering analysis, simulation, prototyping, and hands‑on testing
Define and review requirements, test plans, and acceptance criteria for robotics and controls system components
Collaborate closely with computer vision, software, and hardware engineers to integrate planning and control into the broader system
Support risk analysis, design reviews, and root‑cause investigations for robotics and controls algorithms and system design
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 above
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 estimation
A great collaborator who understands the importance of clear communication and humility
Experienced with algorithm and system design in an environment with high reliability requirements, preferably under a regulatory regime
Comfortable serving as a technical authority — providing design guidance and review to internal engineers and external contractors alike
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 most
Able to clearly convey complex robotics and controls tradeoffs to cross‑functional teams and external partners
Proficient with Pythonand C++ for algorithm development, modeling, and simulation, with working knowledge of Linux
Bonus Points:
Experience in the medical device industry, ideally with interventional or robotic systems
Experience with magnetic actuation, catheter/guidewire systems, or neurovascular/endovascular devices
Familiarity with robotics development tools such as Drake, ROS, Moveit, RVIZ, Gazebo, and Isaac Sim
Experience with haptics or teleoperation
Working knowledge of medical device software requirements (e.g., IEC 62304, IEC 60601)
