Systems Analyst (job ID 190433), at Intuitive
Surgical Inc., Sunnyvale, California
Job Description:
This position is responsible for control and
safety algorithms required to support new
instruments and accessories on the daVinci
Surgical System. Skills required will include
robot kinematics, control systems, and a solid
understanding of electro-mechanical systems.
You will be responsible for the teleoperated
motion and force fidelity of new surgical
instruments, and integration of new accessories
with the robot. This will involve:
• working closely with the clinical
development team to understand requirements for
instruments and accessories performance;
• using analysis and experimentation
to develop a deep understanding of the behavior
and limitations of the mechanism;
• working closely with the mechanical
design team to optimize the mechanism for performance and safety;
• modifying and tuning the algorithms
that will control the behavior of the mechanism.
You will also be responsible for software
implementation of any new features, such as
extending a cutter, or forming staples.
You will be responsible for risk analysis, and
implementation of safety algorithms. You will be
responsible for documentation of risks,
requirements, and test protocols in order to
support requests for approval by regulatory agencies such as the FDA.
You will be responsible for working with the
manufacturing team to develop automated fixtures
for calibrating, testing, and aiding assembly of
the instrument. You will be responsible for
setting manufacturing test specifications that
will ensure mechanical performance.
You are expected to have a breadth of technical
knowledge that enables a top-level view of the
entire project. Using this perspective, you will
act as an interface between the various technical
specialties. You are expected to take ownership
of issues that cross disciplinary boundaries, and
use your broad skillset to ensure the success of the project.
Skill/Job Requirements:
• PhD (preferred), or MS with
equivalent experience, in robotics-related field.
• Demonstrate intuitive understanding
of electro-mechanical phenomena with ability to do rigorous analysis.
• C/C++ and Matlab programming
skills, as well as hardware, software, and
mechanism integration skills. Knowledge of Python would be a plus.
• Knowledge of classical and modern servo control systems.
• Knowledge of serial-arm robot kinematics.
• Knowledge of statistics is a plus.
• Knowledge of electrical and
mechanical design principles and CAD tools is a plus.
• Demonstrate excellent communication
skills both written and verbal.
• Have the ability to work
independently, and the determination to get through challenging problems.
