About the job
Primary Function of Position:
Intuitive Surgical specializes in the design and manufacture of intricate mechanical systems utilized in surgical procedures. As a Senior Electro Mechanical Systems Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in the development, documentation, and validation of innovative product designs while enhancing existing designs to cater to customer needs. Your contributions in systems engineering and electro-mechanical design will be vital to a dynamic team focused on creating advanced equipment for minimally invasive robotic surgery. This role will emphasize engineering the architecture for next-generation instruments, where you will design and innovate sensors, transducers, and electro-mechanical components while considering electrical performance, noise levels, scalability, and cost efficiency. You will conceptualize and evaluate complex electromechanical assemblies, develop theoretical models, conduct empirical validations, and perform computer-assisted simulations.
Roles & Responsibilities:
• Design, develop, and integrate high-performance sensors and ultrasound transducers for imaging and novel applications.
• Create new product architectures in alignment with functional and design specifications for next-generation instruments.
• Analyze and conceptualize complex electromechanical assemblies, creating theoretical models and executing empirical confirmations through simulations.
• Design and select sensor architectures suitable for prototyping and high-volume production.
• Develop high-fidelity sensor systems to monitor variables such as temperature, pressure, and bio-impedance in real-time.
• Possess a comprehensive understanding of various fabrication methods for custom-designed parts, including CNC milling, sheet metal, casting, plastic molding, and 3D printing.
• Collaborate across multidisciplinary teams to define requirements for both new and existing designs.
• Conduct analysis and testing of product designs.
• Research and identify new vendors and processes for component manufacturing.
• Develop and execute component verification and product validation testing.
• Provide engineering support to Manufacturing, Materials, Test Engineering, and Service to ensure smooth design transfers.
• Demonstrate proficiency with test and measurement equipment such as force and height gauges, oscilloscopes, and RF equipment.
• Have knowledge of international safety standards (e.g., IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-2-2).
