Intuitive Surgical is the global leader in
robotic-assisted minimally invasive surgery, a
field that it largely defined when it introduced
the first da Vinci systems in 1999. Today,
Intuitive's devices are driving innovation in
cardiac, urology, gynecologic, pediatric and
general surgical disciplines. This would is a
great fit for engineers with mechantronics
experience and an interest in medical
devices. This listing is for a “senior”
engineering position, but less experienced
candidates would also be considered. Applicants
