Job Description

Primary Function:

Systems Analysts (Robotic Control Engineers) at Intuitive Surgical perform a central role in the design, development, and support of new products in the daVinci Surgery product line. Systems Analysts are primarily responsible for the tele-robotic motion control algorithms, robotic manipulator control, sensing, and safety algorithms for new surgical robots and surgical instruments. This responsibility crosses into electrical, mechanical, software, control, user interface, and safety engineering where all the subsystems are integrated together. Systems Analysts strive to provide early design input, quickly prove out new designs, and seek out solutions to subtle and challenging problems in system integration and motion control. Responsibilities continue until the products are shipping to customers with the highest quality and reliability.

Roles and Responsibilities:

  • Contribute to design of new surgical platforms and instruments through control system analysis and characterization of prototypes.
  • Implement motion control algorithms.
  • Apply control theory to the design and verification of mechatronic and tele-robotic systems.
  • Analyze complex electro-mechanical devices for dynamic safety and clinical risk.
  • Create safety monitoring algorithms based on sound physics .
  • Participate in clinical observations and experiments to ensure that performance requirements are relevant and realistic.
  • Document and pursue intellectual property.
  • Communicate system performance to the organization as a whole.
  • Improve group work-flow through tool building and teaching others.
  • Support and track system performance as it moves from design to manufacturing.
  • Analyze and evaluate contact and non-contact sensors for robotics applications
