Job Description
Primary Function of Position:

As part of the Future Forward organization, the Manager Software Development will have the responsibility to steer the embedded software team in building and improving the embedded software at the heart of an early-stage robotic surgical platform. The team has broad responsibility on the software infrastructure and architecture of the entire system, with a focus on the safe and reliable operation of each node, on the communication interfaces, and all system aspects that derive from it.

The successful candidate must excel in a high-energy small, focused team environment, be able to drive to solutions from rough requirements and methodical prototype iterations and have a commitment to high product quality that places patients first.

Quick learning and a desire to understand requirements from a user's and engineering's perspective are essential to become a valuable leader. An exceptional sense of shared responsibility and shared reward is required, as is the ability to make work fun and interesting. Supporting you will be a development and management team that knows and cares about what you are doing and wants you to succeed.

Essential Job Duties

• Own full development lifecycle for embedded software team and associated documentation (negotiate requirements, systematic risk assessment and mitigation, prototyping, development, testing, and software releases).
• Sponsor best practices in software development (e.g., code reviews, scrums, bug scrubbing meetings, coding conventions, continuous integration, defensive programming, static analysis, design patterns).
• Drive technical development across a variety of areas ranging from board bring up, inter-node communication protocols, OS management, cybersecurity, and safety algorithms.
• Interface with a multitude of technical and product teams, understanding embedded software needs in order to create, maintain, and track a bottom-up schedule that best support top-down goals.
• Recognize and attract top talent, mentor and train existing team members and new hires through one-on-one coaching as well as team wide initiatives.

Qualifications
Required Education and Training

• Bachelor's degree or above in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering, or similar technical field.
• Advanced degree preferred.
• A minimum of 8 years of experience in developing and supporting embedded systems (or 6 years with a Master's degree, or 3 years with a PhD degree).
• A minimum of 3 years as people manager or prior management responsibilities through project management or team leadership efforts.

Required Skills and Experience

• Extensive experience creating, presenting, and refining clear, compelling technical specifications from top-level system architecture documents down to low-level implementation guides and test plans.
• In-depth experience working with embedded systems and safety-critical, complex electromechanical systems, including failure mode and risk analysis.
• Extensive experience planning and executing complex software deliverables on tight deadline and with interdependencies with hardware development.
• Experience in all phases of the product development lifecycle including design, implementation, debug, verification, validation, and transfer to manufacturing.
• Strong problem-solving skills and debugging of complex embedded software and electromechanical systems.
• Experience recruiting, mentoring, and functionally managing teams of highly skilled engineers.
• A real excitement to learn and to get to the bottom of tough technical problems, and to help patient's lives.

Preferred Skills and Experience

• Experience designing software products in a regulated industry or for mission critical applications; comfort with concepts of design input, design output, traceability, risk analysis, and mitigations.
• Experience with designing and developing mission-critical cross-platform code in C++ or C is a plus-particularly in embedded and real-time systems (e.g., QNX), including work on applications, board bring-up, and device drivers for multi-core and multi-processor architectures.
• Familiarity with multi-threaded and multi-process programming, as well as inter-process and inter-node communication techniques for Linux
• Working knowledge of Python or Matlab for automation, diagnostics and testing.
• Working knowledge of version control systems such as Git and experience with defining and executing software release processes.
• Cyber-security concepts such as secure boot, authentication and encryption.
