BS / MS /PHD in Mechanical / Electrical / Systems Engineering and at least 6 years of relevant experience

Hands-on experience in acoustic and ultrasound transducer design, characterization and materials selection

Expertise in acoustic principles, wave propagation, ultrasound transducer technologies, and advanced signal processing

Sensor, transducer integration (mechanical and electrical) with flex, FFC, FPC and PCB circuits

Interact with suppliers for electronics hardware (PCBAs, power supplies, interconnects, etc.) and ability to troubleshoot complex electro-mechanical systems. You are proficiency with lab test equipment and reading electrical schematics and electrical hardware design documentation

Due to the nature of our business and the role, please note that Intuitive and/or your customer(s) may require that you show current proof of vaccination against certain diseases including COVID-19.  Details can vary by role.

Intuitive is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We provide equal employment opportunities to all qualified applicants and employees, and prohibit discrimination and harassment of any type, without regard to race, sex, pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, color, age, religion, protected veteran or disability status, genetic information or any other status protected under federal, state, or local applicable laws.

Mandatory Notices

U.S. Export Controls Disclaimer:  In accordance with the U.S. Export Administration Regulations (15 CFR §743.13(b)), some roles at Intuitive Surgical may be subject to U.S. export controls for prospective employees
who are nationals from countries currently on embargo or sanctions status.

Certain information you provide as part of the application will be used for purposes of determining whether Intuitive Surgical will need to (i) obtain an export license from the U.S. Government on your behalf (note: the government’s licensing process can take 3 to 6+ months) or (ii) implement a Technology Control Plan (“TCP”) (note: typically adds 2 weeks to the hiring process).

For any Intuitive role subject to export controls, final offers are contingent upon obtaining an approved export license and/or an executed TCP prior to the prospective employee’s
start date, which may or may not be flexible, and within a timeframe that does not unreasonably impede the hiring need. If applicable, candidates will be notified and instructed on any requirements for these purposes.

Primary Function of Position:

Intuitive Surgical designs and manufactures highly complex mechanical systems for use in surgery. The Mechanical Engineer is responsible for developing, documenting, and validating new product designs, as well as improving existing designs to meet the needs of our customers

Contribute your systems engineering and electro-mechanical engineering design and analysis skills to a dynamic development team creating complex equipment used in minimally invasive robotic surgery. This position will focus on engineering new product architecture for next generation instruments. You will design and develop next generation of sensors, transducers and electro-mechanical parts and assemblies, with careful consideration for electrical performance, noise, scale and cost. You will be able to conceptualize and analyze complex electromechanical assemblies, create theoretical models, conduct empirical confirmation and perform computer assisted simulations.

Individuals in this role must demonstrate electromechanical and mechanical/mechanism engineering design experience.

Roles & Responsibilities:

Design, develop and integrate high performance sensors, ultrasound transducers for imaging applications and temperature sensors for novel applications

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 at
