Electrical Engineer

Primary Function of Position:

As an Electrical Engineer, you will work with a group of talented and dedicated people to improve and extend Intuitive robotic product lines. You will contribute broadly to the Future Forward group, with a focus on the development of innovative electronics at the heart of Intuitive systems.

As a member of the Future Forward engineering team, you will work cross-functionally and be involved in designing, implementing, and testing complex mixed-signal PCBAs and integrating them into complete surgical robot solutions and seeing these through human use and product release.

The successful candidate has familiarity with the design and integration of mixed-signal PCBAs, is comfortable troubleshooting at the board and system level and has previous exposure to the medical devices development processes.

Quick learning and a desire to understand requirements from a user and engineering’s perspective are essential to become a valuable system developer. An exceptional sense of shared responsibility and shared reward is required, as is the ability to make work fun and interesting. Supporting you will be a development and management team that knows and cares about what you are doing and wants you to succeed.

Essential Job Duties

This position is involved in all aspects related to the electronic board design (PCBAs) for robotic surgical systems. The Electrical Engineer will:

• Design or modify PCBAs, participating in electrical architecture definition, selecting components, designing schematics (OrCAD preferred), performing component placement, stack-up definition, and overseeing PCB layout.

• Work with contract manufacturers (CM) to coordinate timely arrival of prototypes and production PCBAs.

• Bring up and debug prototypes, work with embedded software teams to test various functions of the board.

• Represent Electrical Engineering on cross-functional project teams for designing and developing next generation robotic surgery.

• Adopt the best methods to meet product requirements and integrate them into effective designs.

• Develop, implement, test and document solutions according to clinical, statutory, and environmental requirements.

• Provide technical expertise to resolve challenging design, field and manufacturing issues.

• Develop prototypes to aid actions for future product development.

• Provide technical support to other stakeholders on electrical engineering concepts

• Support the quality and regulatory process.

• Ensure that medical device designs meet product quality and safety requirements, in compliance with design control processes defined in the Quality Management System.
