POSITION SUMMARY:
The Senior/Staff Software Engineer is a key member of the software team who will be responsible for implementing a robust vision compute pipeline on a Linux platform and will actively work with the software and vision teams. As part of the software team responsible for the compute platform for the Triton robot, this candidate will be instrumental in the selection, evaluation and integration of the embedded Linux computers, FPGA bridges and high-speed SerDes links in the novel camera and display system. This member is expected to collaborate on and own parts of the vision software subsystem, helping build a robust and safe software while demonstrating the flexibility and enthusiasm to handle multiple responsibilities in a fast-paced and collaborative start-up environment.
The ideal candidate will act with passion and intensity in a medical device start-up that is fast paced and collaborative and display the ability to perform to the requirements outlined below. For the right person, this position will be a tremendously exciting and career-defining opportunity, making core contributions to a genuinely new type of medical robotic platform.
ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Design and implement the compute platform for the vision pipeline for the Triton robot.
- Evaluate and prototype solutions for the control and vision subsystems using different computers and GPUs, optimizing for latency, efficiency and robustness.
- Design, develop, document, verify, and continuously improve software for video pipelines using NVIDIA Jetson embedded systems: control cameras and display low-latency video, record video, composite video streams, and share video and camera metadata.
- Work with deep-learning and computer-vision algorithms engineers to integrate new processing capabilities and AI applications into the product code.
- Work with peer engineers on software design and code reviews.
- Document software designs, reviews and processes.
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:
- B.S. or M.S in CS, ECE, EE or related fields.
- 5-7 years designing and developing software applications for embedded Linux systems.
- Robust knowledge of C++ and Python.
- Experience with Linux kernel development and/or NVIDIA’s embedded software stack desired.
- Ability and flexibility to handle multiple responsibilities within the software team based on priorities.
- Excellent communication and documentation skills.

What We Do
Neptune Medical is a venture capital funded medical device start-up, located in the Silicon Valley town of Burlingame. We develop, manufacture, and commercialize high-volume, high clinical utility medical devices initially commercialized for gastroenterology, see our website below. Our patent-pending technology is foundational and will have a broad impact across multiple additional clinical areas, including including GI, cardiovascular, pulmonary, and neuro. Our Triton Medical Robotics division is developing flexible robotic systems that address enormous unmet needs across multiple major medical indications.
Our products incorporate unique Dynamic Rigidization™ technology that instantly toggles thin-walled tubes- such as overtubes, catheters or cannulae - between flexible and rigid states. This novel technology creates unprecedented opportunities for significantly enhanced access and control deep within the body.
Neptune Medical currently has ~50 full time employees across all divisions, including a core team of serially successful medical device entrepreneurs. The company has raised over $30M in capital from a diversified investor base, including venture capital, private equity, and industry insider and clinician angel investors.
