C++ Software Engineer - Zimmer Biomet Robotics - ROSA ONE

The ROSA ONE platform is used for brain and spine surgeries in undreds of hospitals worldwide. It consists of a stand equiped with stereoscopic cameras for object tracking (markers on patient anatomy, surgical instruments) and a trolley monted Staübli 6-axis robotic arm derived from the manufacturing industry.

The software running ROSA ONE is used in key phases of the surgery:

• planning where CT and TEP imaging data are used by the surgeon to plan the procedure
• calibration using imaging data, patient anatomy and trackers, at this stage last minute planning adjustment can be performed
• during surgery handling the robotic arm, live tracking of the surgical instruments ensuring precise positioning of surgical tools

As part of the ROSA ONE team I contributed to:

• Software maintenance, investigation, reproduction and fix of issues reported on the field
• Collaborated with the post market surveillance team to provide risk assessments and technical analysis as per regulatory requirements
• Fix concurrency issues causing faulty error detection thus avoiding delays in the surgery
• Integrated new features to meet surgeons needs
• Provided impact analysis and technical documentation as per medical devices regulation
