About us
\n
We are a healthtech company specialized in the development of advanced robotic surgery systems for high-precision minimally invasive procedures. Founded in 2012 as a spin-off from UPC and IBEC, our mission is to make robot-assisted surgery more accessible, precise, and efficient worldwide. We are building next-generation surgical robotic platforms, and instrumentation is a critical part of our core technology.
\n
Your mission
\n
As a Senior Systems / Test Engineer you will be responsible for defining, building and validating custom test benches used to characterize robotic surgical instruments. This is a key role inside our R&D; team, directly connected to product performance, safety and regulatory evidence.
\n
You will translate instrument requirements into test systems that allow us to understand, measure and validate real-world behaviour of robotic surgical tools, ensuring reliability in clinical use scenarios.
\n
Your main responsibilities
\n
- Translate robotic surgical instrument requirements into test bench specifications
- Define and lead validation protocols for instrumentation (force, hysteresis, fatigue, offset, grasping performance, stiffness, distal vs proximal behaviour)
- Design, build and validate custom test rigs for robotic surgery systems (mechanical + instrumentation + calibration)
- Execute and analyse performance and reliability testing.
- Generate technical documentation for regulatory submissions in medical devices
- Ensure traceability, calibration control and continuous improvement of testing systems used in surgical robotics
- Act as a key link between design engineers and validation teams in iterative development cycles
- Support risk analysis with experimental data from testing
What are we looking for?\n
- Degree in Mechanical, Industrial, Biomedical Engineering or similar
- 5+ years of experience in V&V; / testing, ideally in robotic systems
- Strong hands-on experience with test benches or rigs (preferably in robotics or surgical systems)
- Solid understanding of mechanical testing, materials behaviour, fatigue and reliability
- Knowledge of ISO 13485 / ISO 14971 and validation processes (IQ/OQ/PQ)
- Experience with data analysis (Excel; Python or MATLAB is a plus)
- English professional level (technical documentation)
- Spanish native or fluent
We are looking for someone who is…\n
- Previous experience in robotic surgery, medical robotics or high-precision robotic systems
- Hands-on, pragmatic and problem-solver by nature
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced
- Able to connect mechanical design with experimental validation in complex robotic systems
- Analytical, structured and detail-oriented
Nice to have \n
- Sensorised / hybrid robotic test benches
- MATLAB or Python for data analysis
- Exposure to MDR / CE marking in medical devices
- Iterative design–test–learn development environments
What do we offer?\n
- Full-time permanent contract
- Competitive salary aligned with experience
- Adaptable working hours
- Highly innovative and regulated environment with real impact on patients’ lives
- Strong engineering culture inside a surgical robotics company developing real medical robotic systems
