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  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.

Were 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.

The Future Forward organization is Intuitive’s advanced concepts group. We explore emerging technologies, prototype next-generation solutions, and build software experiences that shape the future of robotic-assisted surgery.

If you're ready to contribute to something bigger than yourself and help transform the future of healthcare, you'll find your purpose here.

Description:

The Senior Manager, Electrical Engineering owns people leadership, electrical/electronic system architecture, and technical strategy in the development of a novel surgical robotic platform. In this role, the Sr. Manager leads the team directly responsible for board design and FPGA-based development and is accountable for translating clinical and market requirements into a coherent, multi-year architecture and technology roadmap.

The successful candidate is both a proven people leader and a recognized subject matter expert who can set technical direction, make sound architectural trade-offs under time pressure and incomplete information, and build the leadership pipeline needed to sustain a high-performing organization.

This person partners closely with cross-functional leaders (Software, Mechanical, Systems, Quality/Regulatory, Manufacturing) to align electrical engineering strategy with business unit and corporate priorities, and to ensure programs meet Intuitive's quality system and FDA regulatory requirements throughout the medical device development lifecycle.

This position has organizational responsibility for people leadership, electrical/electronic architecture, planning across robotic surgical systems. The Senior Manager, Electrical Engineering will:

• Provide people leadership across a team of PCBA and firmware (FPGA) designers,
  • Own hiring, promotion, and performance decisions for the organization; build and develop a strong leadership pipeline of managers and technical leads
  • Coach and mentor managers and senior engineers; create an environment that supports attraction, retention, and successful long-term careers at Intuitive
  • Set individual and team development goals, and proactively address underperformance in a timely way
• Define and drive electrical/electronic system architecture and multi-year technology roadmaps for novel robotic surgical platforms:
  • Work with cross-functional leaders to translate clinical and market requirements into high and low-level architecture and design strategy
  • Serve as a recognized subject matter expert, guiding architecture-level design trade-offs for embedded, FPGA-based, analog, and high-speed digital systems, including cross-functional mechanical and software requirements.
  • Guide the team through design, implementation, verification, qualification, and transfer to…
