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 The Multiport Endoscope R&D group at Intuitive Surgical is a versatile, dynamic, and multidisciplinary team committed to advancing 2D and 3D endoscopic and vision systems for cutting-edge robotic platforms, technologies, and programs. Our mission is to develop transformative vision technologies that push the boundaries of human perception, enabling unprecedented surgical precision. We seek a Staff Mechanical Design Engineer who has in-depth knowledge and experience of improving opto-electro-mechanical component design for full-scale manufacturing and work as a tech lead in projects with cross-functional teams. The successful candidate will be a hands-on, highly technical lead who is able to root cause complex design and manufacturing issues and make or guide designs from proof of concept to transition to full-scale manufacturing. A strong sense of shared responsibility and shared reward is required as well as a commitment to high product quality. Essential Job Duties * Lead cross-fun
