Jobs at Intuitive

Design, implement, and operate a Bazel-based unified build system for large C/C++ embedded codebases. Implement and optimize remote caching/execution, write tooling in Rust/C++/Python, improve build performance and observability, debug distributed builds, integrate on-prem and cloud infrastructure, and mentor engineers on scalable build practices.

Lead planning and execution of pre‑market and post‑market clinical trials for medical devices. Develop protocols, manage site selection/start‑up/monitoring, oversee CROs and CRAs, ensure GCP/FDA compliance, liaise with KOLs and biostatisticians, drive study deliverables, prepare clinical study reports and regulatory submissions, mentor junior staff, and support publications and cross‑functional alignment.

Lead a team of supplier engineers to ensure supplier manufacturing processes are capable, compliant, and scalable. Oversee component/process qualification, supplier nonconformance and CAPA/SCAR, drive DFM and risk mitigation, govern supplier change requests, and partner cross-functionally to maintain validated medical device state and support launches and volume ramps.

Lead the Multiport Business Unit regulatory affairs function across the product lifecycle. Develop and execute regulatory strategies for US/Canada and global markets, oversee premarket submissions (510(k), IDE, registrations), manage sustaining activities, build and develop regulatory teams, advise executive leadership, influence regulatory policy, support clinical data planning, manage budgets/resources, and ensure compliance with standards and guidance.

Lead global clinical evidence strategy for Endoluminal products, design and execute pre- and post-market clinical trials (including first-in-human/IDE), ensure regulatory and GCP compliance, manage budgets and KPIs, partner cross-functionally for reimbursement and regulatory interactions, and lead and coach Clinical Affairs team members.

Lead enterprise ServiceNow architecture and strategy across multiple modules. Design scalable integrations, CMDB and data models, enforce governance and best practices, mentor teams, run pilots, and drive platform innovation including AI/automation.

Lead supply chain readiness, launch, and scaling of high-value new robotic systems. Manage supplier selection, contracts, cost negotiations, capacity and risk mitigation, inventory strategies, and supplier performance. Drive cross-functional program roadmaps, executive reviews, and long-term supplier strategies to meet cost, capacity, and speed-to-market goals in a regulated manufacturing environment.

Develop and deploy ML algorithms on the da Vinci surgical robot by writing C++ applications, connecting models to robot data streams, integrating outputs with other teams, and using Linux command-line and build systems to run and maintain software.

Design, maintain, and debug embedded firmware for the ION robotic bronchoscopy platform. Troubleshoot released products, support fielded medical devices, collaborate with hardware and test teams, produce technical and regulatory documentation, and ensure designs meet quality and safety standards.

Lead mixed-signal PCB design for next-generation surgical robotic systems. Create schematics and layouts, collaborate with firmware/software/mechanical teams for bring-up, develop test protocols, ensure DFM/DFT/EMC/ signal integrity, and transition designs to production while mentoring junior engineers and leading cross-functional technical decisions.

Lead development and execution of design verification and reliability tests for surgical instruments and systems. Create test protocols, design fixtures, run clinical simulations and automated tests, perform failure investigations and root cause analysis, document results, and collaborate cross-functionally to support design controls and product launches.

Lead and conduct complex workplace investigations and employment compliance matters across the US (and globally as assigned). Advise HR and leaders, draft and implement investigation frameworks, prepare investigative reports and remedial recommendations, support training, risk assessments, policy alignment, and coach managers on corrective action and conflict resolution to ensure legal and regulatory compliance.

Design, implement, and own an OS Abstraction Layer and resource-management framework across Linux, QNX, and bare-metal on heterogeneous SoCs. Build monitoring, enforcement, and performance optimization for safety-critical surgical robots. Debug deep OS-level failures, work with kernel and RTOS interfaces, and mentor junior engineers.

Design, implement, and integrate motion‑control and tele‑operation algorithms for surgical robotic systems. Define control-system architecture, lead safety‑critical and fault‑detection algorithm development, and support electro‑mechanical/software prototype integration. Drive performance refinement through design controls, testing, verification, and documentation while collaborating cross‑functionally to mature prototypes to production.

Lead financial planning, modeling, and analysis for global manufacturing strategy and Technical Services. Support site expansions, capacity planning, capital investment decisions, budgeting, forecasting, KPI development, and process automation. Partner with operations, engineering, supply chain, and IT to drive financial decisions and present executive-level analyses.

Build developer-facing tools and experiences to enable AI and data platform use: APIs, CLIs, SDKs, UIs for API exploration, documentation, onboarding, and usability improvements across teams.

Develop and refine a next-generation medical robotics platform: learn and extend existing codebase, collaborate with controls/mechanical teams, design experiments to characterize performance, turn prototypes into production-quality software, architect modular distributed systems, and maintain design-control documentation to meet medical device standards.

Build and maintain centralized supplier-held inventory datasets and governance frameworks. Develop analytics, dashboards, and models to monitor supplier inventory, map supplier and part-site relationships, support sub-tier mapping, and enable supply chain risk management, inventory strategy, and operational decision-making through cross-functional collaboration.

Design and build secure CI/CD and automation infrastructure for robotic-integrated digital products. Implement pipeline security (SAST, SCA, image scanning, secret detection), IaC, container orchestration, and cloud data ingestion. Improve developer experience through onboarding, tooling, and platform adoption while collaborating with embedded, SDET, DevOps, and security teams.

Designs, sustains, and improves the dV5 3D Surgical Viewer opto-mechanical system. Leads design changes under medical device design control, performs verification/testing, failure analysis, manufacturability improvements, and cross-functional collaboration with manufacturing and suppliers.
