About Us

Convergence Medical (www.convergenceortho.com) is a Brisbane-based medical surgical robotics start-up developing the V01, the world’s first arthroscopic surgical robot. Our mission is to transform arthroscopy (minimally invasive keyhole joint surgery) through advanced robotics, precision engineering, and clinical innovation.

We are expanding our team and seeking a Robotics Software Engineer with proven experience. This role sits at the cutting edge of surgical robotics and offers the opportunity to contribute directly to one of the most exciting medtech projects globally.

The Role

As a Robotics Software Engineer, you will design, develop, and commercialise software solutions for the V01 robotic platform. This is a hands-on role where you’ll collaborate across hardware, product, and quality teams to ensure our robotic systems meet the highest standards for performance, compliance, and clinical usability.

This role is ideal for an engineer who thrives in fast-paced, highly regulated environments, and wants to apply both technical expertise and product leadership to bring world-first technology to market.

Key Responsibilities

Software Development & Engineering

Develop and maintain robotic software systems across frontend and backend components.

Design, implement, and test software solutions for surgical robotics applications.

Debug and troubleshoot issues across the technology stack.

Apply advanced algorithms and mathematical principles to solve robotics challenges.

Develop frontend applications (React Native) and backend services/APIs.

Integrate scalable architecture with cloud-based services.

Product Commercialisation Leadership

Lead initiatives to transition software from development to commercial release.

Develop and implement release strategies including pipelines, QA processes, and regulatory compliance.

Work with product and business teams to align software with commercial needs.

Establish and maintain commercial-ready documentation.

Team Collaboration

Collaborate with cross-functional teams including hardware engineers, product managers, and QA.

Participate in agile workflows (sprint planning, stand-ups, retrospectives).

Communicate technical concepts effectively to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Quality Assurance & Continuous Improvement

Implement automated testing and CI/CD pipelines.

Monitor performance and reliability in commercial environments.

Ensure compliance with industry standards and regulatory frameworks.

Drive continuous improvement in processes and technical optimisation.

About You – Essential Requirements
