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 Our team designs and builds the embedded software platform for next-generation surgical robotic systems. We're looking for a high energy, talented, engineer to contribute broadly to the embedded software stack. We are a small group that works in a focused, high-energy environment. We believe in applying first principles thinking, data driven decision making, continuous learning, systematic planning to deliver results and achieve our goals.

• Are you passionate about technology? Do you want to have a direct impact on helping people live better lives?
• Interested in the medical applications of robotics?
• Do you like to build complex distributed systems?
• Does working in a multidisciplinary, systems-oriented design team sound exciting? Your Role: You'll be joining the team responsible for developing several generations of our flagship product, the daVinci Xi, to develop new surgical robotic systems. You'll have the opportunity and responsibility to own development of your features, end to end. From concept to cross functional requirements gathering, to implementation, test and verification, success is in your hands. You will be programming C++ systems software on microcontrollers deeply embedded in the robotic system but, you are in your heart, an integrator. Collaboration comes naturally to you which will help you develop robust solutions to complex problems and share them with other new product development engineering teams. Your Responsibilities :
  • In your first year in this role, you will contribute broadly to many areas of software development, including but not limited to:
    • Develop fault reaction logic to gracefully degrade auxiliary services and features that enhance the surgical experience but in the strictest sense, are not essential to perform surgery.
    • Coordinate and control distributed embedded hardware resources to enable reliable retention of critical business data.
    • Apply systems thinking to the embedded fault reaction model to handle and recover from localized and systemwide fault events
    • Design and develop product-focused, rock-solid, C++ software in a heterogeneous, multi-processor SoC/FPGA/real-time-embedded environment
    • Work on a cross-functional team to develop technical specifications and evaluate design trade-offs
    • Perform formal risk analysis, develop software mitigations, run V&V and participate in design transfer to manufacturing activities. Qualifications Required Expertise :
      • A natural communicator with high attention to detail
      • Possess a commitment to the highest product quality
      • Passionate about developing cross-platform, object-oriented C++ code
      • Proven ability to proactively engage with the unknown/unfamiliar, learn how things work and apply that learning to new challenges.
      • Experience working on product-focused designs in a team environment
      • Minimum 3 years industry experience developing and supporting embedded systems
      • Bachelors or Masters' degree in Software/Computer Engineering
      • Experience with designing software products in an FDA or other regulated industry or for mission critical applications; comfort with concepts of design input, design output, traceability, and risk analysis, and mitigations Additional Information All your information will be kept confidential according to EEO guidelines. Due to the nature of our business and the role, please note that Intuitive and/or your customer(s) may require that you show current proof of vaccination against certain diseases including COVID-19.
