Senior Systems Analyst; Robotic Algorithms and Controls

Job Description

Primary Function of Position:

The Systems Analyst develops algorithms that ensure the safe, reliable, and effective operation of robotic‑assisted surgical systems. Responsibilities span early functional prototype development through formal product testing.

The role also provides analytical support to cross‑functional engineering teams, influencing mechanism design, software architecture, and component selection through deep physical and algorithmic insight. The goal is to deliver precise motion‑control performance and high‑level system behaviors that respond reliably to user input.

As a member of the Future Forward engineering team, you will design, implement, and integrate complex functionality into complete surgical robotic platforms, supporting them through human‑use evaluation and product release.

Success requires thriving in a focused, fast‑moving environment; driving solutions from evolving requirements; and iterating methodically while upholding rigorous quality standards that prioritize patient safety. Strong learning agility, the ability to understand system requirements from both user and engineering perspectives, and a collaborative mindset are essential. You will be supported by experienced leadership and development teams committed to your success.

Essential Job Duties

• Design, develop, and implement motion‑control and tele‑operation algorithms for next‑generation surgical robotic systems and instruments.

• Contribute to the architectural definition of the robotic control system, leveraging real‑time and event‑driven algorithms to achieve complex system behaviors.

• Participate in all phases of the Design Controls process by identifying system requirements and converting them into safe, verifiable designs.

• Lead the design, implementation and testing of safety‑critical and fault‑detection algorithms.

• Lead the electro‑mechanical and software integration of new prototypes, providing analytical and algorithmic guidance to hardware and software teams.

• Methodically refine and improve system performance throughout maturation from prototype to production, by planning and prioritizing the development on a quarterly and annual basis.

• Diligently document innovative contributions, generating and protecting intellectual property.
