Robotics Researcher
We’re looking for a curious & diligent robotics researcher to join our IP team in Cambridge.
Responsibilities
You’ll be researching and documenting prior robotics and manipulation systems to meet business and technical needs. This will include:
- Exploring and reviewing technical publications in a variety of fields
- Evaluating the documents for their relevance to key research needs
- Identifying specific reported technical features corresponding to CMR system details.
About you
Naturally you’ll be keen to learn and academically diligent, with a particular interest in robotics. We’d expect you to have a good degree (at least a 2.1, or on track for one) in a technical/scientific discipline, and a familiarity with scientific & technical literature. Experience of online and library-based research is a must.
Your interests might include:
- Robotics
- Surgery
- Mechatronics
- Technical history
- Detective work! (an eye for detail)
This role is part-time, with some flexibility.
The package
We offer a competitive salary and a great benefits package (including cycle-to-work scheme, life assurance, and childcare vouchers, and our now famous monthly company BBQs). On top of that, you’ll be joining a company with a fabulous culture of ambition, creativity and teamwork, and where fun is just as valued as our commitment to make surgery better for millions of people.
Why join us?
CMR Surgical is developing a next-generation robotic system for universal keyhole surgery. The Versius system comprises a surgeon console, modular light-weight robotic arms and a range of wristed 5 mm fully-instruments. In short, we’re creating something truly amazing designed to improve the lives of people around the globe; it’s a vision that excites us and hopefully will excite you.
Versius overcomes obstacles to widespread adoption of robotic minimal access surgery, namely robot size, instrument size, versatility, port placement, cost and ease of use, allowing the system to be highly utilised and ultimately cost-comparable to manual laparoscopic surgery.
The Company was formed in 2014 and has its headquarters in Cambridge, United Kingdom. We’re privately owned and enjoy strong financial backing.
