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 da Vinci Single Port (SP) system provides surgeons with robotic-assisted technology designed for deep and narrow access to tissue in the body through a single, small incision. It pushes the frontier of human-machine interaction by fusing many technologies into a core product experience – technologies such as 3D immersive vision, real-time haptic interface and robotic manipulators.

The primary responsibility of the position is to lead the software team responsible for implementing the User Interface and underlying State Machine of the SP system. The UI Manager works collaboratively with a cross-functional team of interaction designers, human factors engineers, clinical engineers, and others to develop embedded software and graphical user interfaces that make customers’ experience of using complex surgical devices safe, easy to learn, and confidence-inspiring.

A strong sense of shared responsibility and shared reward is required.

• Recognize and attract top talent, mentor and train existing team members and new hires through one-on-one coaching as well as team wide initiatives.
• Interface with variety of cross functional teams including Interaction Design, Human Factors, Clinical, Controls Engineering, etc., in understanding user interface needs to create, maintain, and track a bottom-up schedule that best supports business unit top-down goals.
• Own full development lifecycle for UI software team and associated documentation (negotiate requirements, systematic risk assessment and mitigation, prototyping, development, testing, and software releases).
• Champion best practices in software development (code reviews, scrums, bug scrubbing meetings, coding conventions, continuous integration, defensive programming, static analysis, design patterns, etc.).
• Assess and update the software hazard analysis and identify mitigations for hazardous situations.
• Document traceability from software requirements and software hazard analyses to module verification tests and system verification tests.

Required Skills and Experience

• Experience recruiting, mentoring, and functionally managing teams of highly skilled engineers.
• Experience in all phases of software development including evaluation, planning and definition, design & implementation, Verification & Validation, Market Launch, and Post Market.
• Experience with concepts of design input, design output, traceability, and risk analysis.
• Excellent teamwork skills with proven ability to…
