in integrity, have a strong capacity to learn, the energy to get
things done, and bring diverse, real world experiences to help us
think in new ways. We actively invest in our team members to
support their long-term growth so they can continue to advance our
mission and achieve their highest potential. Join a team committed
to taking big leaps forward for a global community of healthcare
professionals and their patients. Together,let's advance the world
of minimally invasive care. Job Description Primary Function of
Position: Robotic Algorithms and Controls Engineers (Systems
Analysts) at Intuitive perform a central role in the design,
development, and support of new products in the daVinci Surgery
product lines. Robotic Algorithms and Controls Engineers are
primarily responsible for the tele-robotic motion & force control
algorithms, robotic manipulator control, and safety algorithms for
new surgical robots, instruments, accessories, and endoscopes. This
responsibility crosses into mechanical, software, control, user
interface, electrical, and safety engineering where all the
subsystems are integrated together. Robotic Algorithms and Controls
Engineers strive to provide early design input, quickly prove out
new designs, and seek out solutions to subtle and challenging
problems in system integration, system safety, and motion & force
control. Responsibilities continue until the products are shipping
to customers with the highest quality and reliability. The Manager
of a Robotic Algorithms and Controls Engineering (Systems Analysis)
team establishes individual responsibilities within their team,
towards projects needing motion & force control algorithms and
safety systems. They are responsible for tactical milestones for
the projects their team supports. They advise senior management on
the technical strategy for a product or a platform project. They
maintain active liaison with other Robotic Algorithms and Controls
Engineering teams, software & hardware teams, manufacturing teams,
and user facing & clinical engineering teams, to enable cohesion of
design inputs, design architecture, specifications, and
verification. They are expected to hire, coach, and retain Robotic
Algorithms and Controls Engineering talent within their group.
Roles & Responsibilities: --- Lead a team of Robotic Algorithms and
Controls Engineers towards successful accomplishment of product
implementation with best-in-class solutions and architectures ---
Provide in-depth analysis and characterization of electromechanical
architectures during the entire design life cycle. --- Facilitate
mechanical, electrical, and software integration of new prototypes
and new products including complete robotic systems, manipulators,
instruments, accessories, and endoscopes --- Analyze complex
electro-mechanical devices for dynamic safety and clinical risk ---
Implement safety monitoring algorithms based on sound physics and
risk analysis --- Participate in clinical observations and
experiments to ensure that performance requirements are relevant
and realistic --- Adhere to, and contribute to, design control
processes, including design reviews, presentations, documentation,
and verification and validation testing activities --- Document and
pursue intellectual property --- Communicate system architectural
choices to the cross functional engineering team --- Improve cross
functional workflow and interaction through tool building and
teaching others Qualifications Skills, Experience, Education, &
Training: --- Minimum Masters in robotics related engineering
field, with a minimum 6 years of experience in control of
mechatronic systems, or Ph.D. with 3 years of experience in control
of mechatronic systems. --- Minimum 1-3 years of people management
experience, or 3-5 years of cross-functional technical leadership
in a Robotic Algorithms and Controls Engineers or equivalent role.
--- Familiarity with design control processes. Prior experience in
product development under medical device standards (such as ISO
13485, IEC 60601, and IEC 62304), is a plus. --- Strong embedded C
programming capabilities as well as electromechanical and software
integration skills. --- Understanding of, and experience in,
implementing classical and modern servo control systems. --- Strong
engineering intuition for mechatronic systems, combined with
detailed and data-oriented approach, to develop and push designs to
completion. --- Excellent communication skills, both written and
verbal, to facilitate robust decisions. --- Passion for product
quality and continuous improvements across multiple functions. ---
