It started with a simple idea: what if surgery could be less invasive and recovery less painful? Nearly 30 years later, that question still fuels everything we do at Intuitive. As a global leader in robotic-assisted surgery and minimally invasive care, our technologies—like the da Vinci surgical system and Ion—have transformed how care is delivered for millions of patients worldwide.We’re a team of engineers, clinicians, and innovators united by one purpose: to make surgery smarter, safer, and more human. Every day, our work helps care teams perform with greater precision and patients recover faster, improving outcomes around the world.The problems we solve demand creativity, rigor, and collaboration. The work is challenging, but deeply meaningful—because every improvement we make has the potential to change a life.If you’re ready to contribute to something bigger than yourself and help transform the future of healthcare, you’ll find your purpose here. Primary Function of PositionYou’ll play a key role on the Multiport Test Engineering team to enable the manufacturing of a new generation of surgical robots. You will develop automated, mechatronic-centric manufacturing tests and diagnostic software that assures the calibration, performance, and safety of robot subsystems. The position will require close collaboration with product development teams, systems analysts, electrical test fixture engineers, manufacturing engineers, quality engineers, and contract manufacturers to build a comprehensive test strategy and deliver automated manufacturing test software.Essential Job Duties Take ownership of manufacturing test fixtures, software, and test system qualityDevelop a deep technical understanding of product operation, control and testing algorithmsDesign, document, and qualify systems and test software for use in manufacturing new robot subsystemsWork independently to overcome roadblocks with minimum guidanceTroubleshoot production line issuesImprove the manufacturing test capability through new technology, software and analytics Required Skills and Experience Minimum 5 years of professional experience in hardware-oriented software development with a bachelor’s degree (or 3 years with a master’s degree)Experience developing or testing robotic or electro-mechanical systems, including control systems and mechatronicsExperience with design and development of Windows PC or Web user interfacesProficient in object-oriented PythonEntrepreneurial spiritDrives projects to completionStrong problem solving skillsExcellent verbal and written communications skillsIntellectually curious and passionateHigh emotional intelligence and solid people skillsRequired Education and Training Bachelor’s or Master’s in Mechanical, Electrical, Mechatronics or Software Engineering or related programWorking Conditions NonePreferred Skills and Experience Web technologies such as HTML, Javascript, RESTful APIs, JSON, SocketsFamiliarity with Matlab, SQL data...
