Full Job Description

It started with a simple idea: what if surgery could be less invasive and recovery less painful? Nearly 30 years later, that question still fuels everything we do at Intuitive. As a global leader in robotic-assisted surgery and minimally invasive care , our technologies—like the da Vinci surgical system and Ion —have transformed how care is delivered for millions of patients worldwide. We’re a team of engineers, clinicians, and innovators united by one purpose: to make surgery smarter, safer, and more human. Every day, our work helps care teams perform with greater precision and patients recover faster, improving outcomes around the world. The problems we solve demand creativity, rigor, and collaboration. The work is challenging, but deeply meaningful—because every improvement we make has the potential to change a life. If you’re ready to contribute to something bigger than yourself and help transform the future of healthcare , you’ll find your purpose here. Primary Function of Position We are looking for a Data Engineer to build and own the data foundations that power machine learning and analytics, with a strong focus on image or and video data. This role is focused on designing pipelines to ingest, process, and organize large-scale visual datasets for machine learning applications . You will work closely with ML scientists, data scientists, and software engineers to ensure data is reliable, discoverable, and production ready. What Success Would Look Like: * ML scientists can easily access trusted, well -organized image and video datasets -documented data * Data pipelines are reliable, observable, and scalable * Data quality issues are detected early and resolved quickly * The data platform accelerates ML development and deployment Essential Job Duties * Data Platform & Pipelines * Build and maintain data pipelines for image and video datasets used by ML models * Handle visual data ingestion, processing, validation and storage across system * Extract and organize
