Staff Robotics & Controls Engineer

at  Johnson Johnson

Johnson & Johnson MedTech is recruiting for a Staff Robotics and Controls Engineer for the Strategic Robotics R&D Team.
This position is located in Santa Clara, CA (not remote).

WHAT WE DO:

The Strategic Robotics R&D team envisions a future for robotic intervention that is targeted, minimally invasive, and personalized. Building upon a deep understanding of patient and physician needs, we are developing a platform for the next evolution of soft-tissue robotic care.

WHO WE ARE:

We are a team of mechanical, electrical, robotic controls, mechatronics, clinical, and software engineers who are passionate about improving patient care. The team includes a wide range of experience levels from junior engineers to industry experts. We follow an iterative design approach to product development that requires us to collaborate closely across clinical, instruments, accessories, and capital hardware teams. We value autonomy and empower each other to take action while remaining a supportive and closely knit team. We take pride in our culture and are committed to building an environment that is inclusive and promotes diversity of thought through varied experiences and backgrounds.

REQUIRED EXPERIENCE AND SKILLS:
