• transform the future of healthcare
• Primary Function of Position
• Systems Analysts (Robotic Algorithms and Control) at Intuitive Surgical perform a central role in the design, development, and support of new products in the daVinci Surgery product line. Systems Analysts are primarily responsible for the tele-robotic motion control algorithms, robotic manipulator control, interaction behaviors, and safety algorithms for new surgical robots and surgical instruments. This responsibility crosses into electrical, mechanical, software, control, user interface, and safety engineering where all the subsystems are integrated together. Systems Analysts strive to provide early design input, quickly prove out new designs, and seek out solutions to subtle and challenging problems in system integration and motion control. Responsibilities continue until the products are shipping to customers with the highest quality and reliability

Essential Job Duties

• Contribute to design of new surgical platforms and instruments through control system analysis and characterization of prototypes
• Design and implement motion algorithms and behaviors
• Apply control theory to the design and verification of mechatronic and tele-robotic systems
• Analyze complex electro-mechanical devices for dynamic safety and clinical risk
• Create safety monitoring algorithms based on sound physics
• Participate in clinical observations and experiments to ensure that performance requirements are relevant and realistic
• Document and pursue intellectual property
• Communicate system performance to the organization as a whole
• Improve group work-flow through tool building and teaching others
• Support and track system performance as it moves from design through manufacturing
