Role:
Systems Analysts (Robotic Algorithms and Control Engineers) at Intuitive Surgical strive to create the safest and highest quality robotic system for minimally invasive surgery though rigorous and robust technical analysis. This Systems Analyst position is responsible for algorithms and controls required to support the development and production of new instruments for the daVinci Surgical System. Required skills include knowledge of control systems, robot kinematics, and a solid understanding of mechanical systems.
Key Responsibilities:
- Develop and own the tele-operated motion performance of robotic surgical instruments. Ensuring motion fidelity will involve:
- working closely with the clinical development team to understand performance requirements
- working closely with the mechanical design team to optimize the mechanism for motion fidelity
- using analysis and experimentation to develop a deep understanding of the behavior and limitations of the instrument mechanism
- modifying and tuning the algorithms to optimize motion fidelity
- Using analysis and experimentation to develop a deep understanding of the behavior and limitations of the instrument mechanism
- Working closely with the clinical development team to understand performance requirements
- Working closely with the mechanical design team to optimize the mechanism for motion fidelity
- Modifying and tuning the algorithms to optimize motion fidelity
- Collaborate with the manufacturing team to develop automated fixtures for calibrating, testing, and aiding assembly of the instrument. Additionally, determine manufacturing test specifications that will ensure instrument performance.
- Implement features and algorithms to support new instruments, such as extending a cutter, or forming staples.
- Perform the risk analysis and implementation of safety algorithms. This includes documentation of risks, requirements, and test protocols in order to support requests for approval by regulatory agencies such as the FDA.
- Lead by having a breadth of technical knowledge that enables a top-level view of the entire project. Using this perspective, act as an interface between the various technical specialties.
