Job Description

Primary Function of Position:

As a Sr. Embedded Software Engineer, you will work with a group of talented and dedicated people to improve and extend Intuitive robotic product lines. You will contribute broadly to the Future Forward group, with focus on the embedded and platform software at the heart of Intuitive systems, with influence ranging from firmware to user interface and test infrastructure.

As a member of the Future Forward engineering team, you will be involved in designing, implementing, and integrating complex functionality into complete surgical robot solutions and seeing these through human use and product release.

The successful candidate must excel in a high-energy small, focused team environment, be able to drive to solutions from rough requirements and methodical prototype iterations, and have a commitment to high product quality that places patients first.

Quick learning and a desire to understand requirements from a user's and engineering's perspective are essential to become a valuable system developer. A sense of shared responsibility and shared reward is required, as is the ability to make work fun and interesting. Supporting you will be a development and management team that knows and cares about what you are doing and wants you to succeed.

Essential Job Duties

  • Video and camera processing, including hardware interfaces and image processing.
  • Servo and hardware control and monitoring.
  • Extension of current processing frameworks to new processors and hardware designs.
  • Inter-processor communication and distributed multi-processor systems that form the backbone of Intuitive's surgical systems.
  • System diagnostic and development of service applications that are laptop-based and network-based.
  • Selection and integration of external OEM devices.
  • Testing at the unit and sub-system level, and at the system integration level.
  • Software build tools, development and test environment, and change control.

The Sr. Embedded Software Engineer is responsible for:

  • Cross-functional requirements discussions, ranging from customer-facing clinical needs, to safety requirement.
  • Translating early requirements into prototype implementations for early evaluation and assessment for a novel and sophisticated robotic system.
  • Contributing to hazard and failure mode analysis and defining appropriate mitigations.
  • Methodically refining and iterating to finalize the design that meets the requirements, while balancing feasibility, schedule, and resource needs.
  • Developing, documenting, and implementing detailed software designs and conducting unit tests ahead of system integration and human use.
  • Generating supporting documentation according to Intuitive development and documentation guidelines.
  • Ensuring that medical device designs meet product quality and safety requirements, in compliance with design control processes defined in the Quality Management System..
