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 Design and construct manufacturing equipment used to produce minimally invasive medical devices. This equipment will range in complexity from custom manual fixtures to semi-automated electro-mechanical systems, integrating work-holding, sensing, motion and vision control. This position will play a critical role in developing cutting edge manufacturing capabilities to enable the future of minimally invasive surgery. The ideal candidate should have a solid understanding of the technical aspects of mechanical engineering and design. He/she will work closely with senior level equipment staff and other departments to develop and sustain custom equipment for production use. This person will thrive working autonomously on projects with medium to high complexity. Essential Job Duties * Design and build in-house manufacturing equipment from concept to implementation. * Create effective design solutions of mechanical assemblies from simple fixturing to more complex assembly for automation equi
