Have you ever felt blown away by the miracles of modern medicine, while also feeling that the patient experience still leaves much to be desired?
Here at Myomo, Inc., it's our mission not only to leverage the power of cutting-edge robotic technology to improve patient quality of life, but also to demonstrate a commitment to prioritize and serve the patient.
We are 1st in the U.S. to develop and market the MyoPro® product line of lightweight, non-invasive, powered arm braces (orthoses) to restore function in the paralyzed or weakened arms and hands of individuals that have suffered a stroke, spinal cord or nerve injury such as brachial plexus injury, or other neuro-muscular disability such as traumatic brain injury, (TBI) brachial plexus injury, (BPI) or multiple sclerosis (MS). It is the only device that, sensing a patient’s own neurological signals through non-invasive sensors on the arm, can restore their ability to use their arms and hands so that they can return to work, live independently and reduce their cost of care.
At Myomo, we are driven by a mission to enable independence and confidence for stroke survivors as well as those living with the impact of another neurological disorder. Our teams continue to break through barriers, defining the limits of what is possible in both medical device robotics and our global system of care.
We're currently seeking a Senior Robotics Engineer dedicated to integrating algorithmic code design with the physical behaviors and sensing capabilities of mechatronic systems.
The ideal candidate will leverage a solid academic background along with expertise in control theory, sensor fusion, algorithm development, and kinematics to develop sophisticated code and optimize device performance.
Responsibilities
- Lead the design of sensing strategies for robotic manipulation within upper-extremity, powered human exoskeletons.
- Develop sensor filtering and fusion algorithms for human-in-the-loop control, utilizing a mixture of biopotential, proprioceptive, safety, and environmental sensors.
- Create improved motor control and motion planning algorithms to optimize performance and support validation efforts.
- Collaborate with the broader engineering team in order to communicate control opportunities, complexities, and technical limitations shaping implementation strategies.
- Advise on strategies for the incorporation of Online/Offline ML and AI models and datasets to personalize and optimize performance for operators.
- Design and execute tests to debug and vet performance against design criteria.
- Partner with Firmware, Electrical, Software, and SQA engineers to cohesively integrate solutions into a deployable medical device with validated performance.
- Remain current on the latest advancements in robotics, sensor technology, and control systems to incorporate cutting-edge solutions.
- Contribute to knowledge-sharing and documentation efforts within the team to promote best practices and drive innovation.
- Guide the technical direction of our software stack and electrical system.
- Perform detailed peer-review of electrical and software designs.
Requirements
- MS (or PhD) in Robotics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering or equivalent.
- Minimum 2-4 years industry experience in the field of robotics control. (Manipulation or human-robot interaction (HRI) preferred)
- Experience with sensor and actuation selection and interfacing.
- Prior background with Embedded Linux and/or other Embedded Real Time Operating System.
- Fluent in C/C++ and Python, experience with TensorFlow, MATLAB, Simulink.
- Experience working in an Agile (e.g. Scrum) environment.
- Fluent in English with strong interpersonal skills.
