Software Engineering Manager

Robeauté is redefining the future of neurosurgery with self-propelled microrobots designed to navigate the human brain with unprecedented precision. Our technology makes it possible to reach deep brain regions that were previously inaccessible, without invasive surgery.

We've developed microrobots capable of travelling inside the brain to collect biopsies, deliver cancer drugs, and implant electrodes for neurological treatments.

Since our founding in 2017, we've filed 50+ patents and successfully tested our technology in living animals, with human clinical trials targeted for 2026. We recently raised €27M in Series A funding from Plural, Cherry Ventures, Kindred Ventures, and Brainlab, fueling our next phase of growth.

Now, as we scale, we are looking for a Software Engineering Manager to lead and actively contribute to the development of robust, compliant, and innovative software solutions that power our microrobotic systems.

• Actively contribute to the design, coding, and testing of software components across the stack (embedded, backend, frontend).
• Define and maintain the software architecture, ensuring scalability, modularity, and robustness.
• Lead the development of features aligned with product milestones and clinical requirements.
• Collaborate closely with hardware, systems, and product teams to ensure seamless software-hardware integration.
• Set up and maintain IT infrastructure (servers, cloud environments, CI/CD pipelines) to support development and deployment.
• Stay up to date with emerging technologies in robotics, software engineering, and medical devices to inform product strategy.

• Ensure all software development complies with medical device regulations (FDA, ISO 13485, IEC 62304), in close collaboration with QA/RA.
• Implement and oversee static code analysis, unit testing, and documentation practices to meet regulatory requirements.
• Contribute to the preparation of technical documentation for audits, certifications, and regulatory submissions.
• Promote a culture of quality, traceability, and engineering discipline across the software lifecycle.

• Manage and mentor a team of 4 software engineers, fostering a collaborative and high-performance culture.
• Lead sprint planning, code reviews, and technical workshops, ensuring engineering excellence.
• Participate in recruitment, onboarding, and career development of team members.
• Support individual growth through regular feedback, goal setting, and hands-on technical guidance.

Requirements

Technical Skills

• Advanced expertise in Python, with hands-on experience in static code analysis, automated testing, and production-grade development.
