AcuSurgical is a venture-backed surgical robotics company developing next-generation ophthalmic robotic platforms. We are looking for a Robotics Engineer to join our R&D team and take ownership of the algorithms and software that pilot the robotic system, as well as the integration of mechatronic components into the platform.

This is a hands-on engineering role at the core of a surgical robot: you will implement and improve real-time control software in C/C++, integrate new hardware components, and participate in system testing - from bench validation through to clinical use in the operating room. The work demands strict attention to real-time constraints and patient safety, and the ability to move fluently between software, electronics, and mechanical design.

You will also contribute to the regulatory certification process and work directly with surgeons to validate system behaviour in clinical conditions. The role reports to the Project Manager within the Incubation team.

Key Responsibilities :

- Implement and improve the C/C++ control algorithms that pilot the robotic platform, with strict adherence to real-time constraints and safety-critical coding practices
- Integrate mechatronic and robotic components (actuators, sensors, communication interfaces) with the control software; participate in component selection and qualification
- Design proof-of-concept mechanical components using CAD tools (Inventor, AutoCAD, or equivalent) and rapid prototyping (3D printing)
- Troubleshoot system-level issues across software, electronics, and mechanics; identify root causes and harden the platform
- Design and execute unit tests, integration tests, and system-level validation protocols
- Participate in clinical validation sessions in the surgical theatre, working alongside surgeons and clinical staff
- Contribute to the technical documentation required for regulatory certification (EU MDR 2017/745), under the guidance of the QARA team
- Maintain high standards of code quality, documentation, and traceability in compliance with the company's quality management system and applicable standards
