Sunnyvale, United States Intuitive Surgical Full time
Job Description

Primary Function of Position

The Failure Analysis Engineer uses their working knowledge of failure modes of da Vinci® products to work with technicians, FA engineers and clinical engineers to assess existing and potential failures within the Intuitive product lines. These products include instruments, accessories, robotic systems, vision systems, and other related features. Their primary focus is to assess how and why products in the market may have gaps between their expected and actual performance.

Post Market Investigation supports data-driven product quality improvements that are focused on improving patient value by:

  • Deeply understanding, documenting and disseminating How and Why products fail
  • Ensuring consistency and accuracy of failure data
  • Continuously building our knowledge base through cross-functional collaboration

As Intuitive's da Vinci® Surgical System becomes adopted by an increasing population of hospitals, surgeons, and patients, we are building a focused team to drive reliability, quality, and safety to ever-better levels. This focus applies to products in use, products in manufacturing, and products in design. Help us powerfully drive our quality mission in our young and growing company by bringing your hands-on experience in solving engineering problems, your fascination with complex electro-mechanical devices, and your passion for the best practices to analyze, monitor, and improve product and process. Intuitive seeks a proven contributor who can help perform failure analysis, identify key opportunities for product improvement, and help solve challenging problems. The ideal candidate possesses solid desire to ask the right questions, and is comfortable communicating the technical answers across multiple parts of the organization.

Essential Job Duties

  • Perform failure analysis in conjunction with Service Operations technicians, FA Engineers, and other Engineering teams on returned devices utilizing design documentation, system log data, software tools, and a variety of lab/bench equipment.
  • Perform robust research rooted in an understanding of our product hardware and software, and interface with clinical engineering to better understand use conditions in the clinical/operating room environment that might contribute to the failure mode.
  • Work with the Post Market Surveillance team in resolving questions around potentially reportable failures.
  • Assist in the processing, disposition, and tracking of returned devices.
  • Give quality engineering, manufacturing, and design teams guidance on failure modes.
  • Work with the data analysis team on assessing failure trends and statistics.
  • Work with Engineering to identify opportunities for improvements in product quality, reliability, manufacturability, cost and functionality.
  • Work with Quality, Engineering, and Regulatory groups to develop new reports and failure codes as needed.
  • Work with Service Operations team to provide guidance on recording failure analysis results for improved consistency and accuracy.
  • Perform technical training on product to non-technical staff.
  • Create queries to perform RMA/complaint data analysis.
