The posting
Robeauté is redefining the future of brain therapies through the first microrobotic platform designed to navigate the human brain with unprecedented precision. This new generation of medical microrobots will be able to diagnose, treat, and monitor the brain from within, overcoming the persistent limitations in treating neurological diseases that affect more than one in three people worldwide.
Since its founding in 2017, Robeauté has filed more than 50 patent applications. We recently raised €27 million in a Series A round led by Plural, Cherry Ventures, Kindred Ventures, and Brainlab, fueling our next phase of growth.
As we continue to expand our organization, we are looking for a Test Infrastructure & Integration Engineer to own the design, development, and evolution of the engineering test infrastructure supporting our medical devices.
Working at the intersection of robotics, mechanics, electronics, embedded software, and systems engineering, you will develop the platforms that enable system integration, product characterization, design verification, and engineering investigations. Your work will directly contribute to improving product quality, accelerating development, and enabling reliable, data-driven engineering decisions.
