I've got an open position in my group at Intuitive, looking for people with
strong programming skills but also good clinical and system integration
skills in the areas of image guidance and haptics. This would be a "dream
job" for a strong programmer capable of designing haptic and image guidance
applications and bringing them to labs.
Thanks,
Chris
Research Engineer / Sr. Research Engineer Surgical Systems and Applications
Tracking Code
2007-2005
Job Description
Are you prepared to develop innovative, practical solutions to bring
advanced technology such as image guidance and haptics to a million-dollar
surgical robot? Intuitive Surgical has a rapidly growing installed base of
over 400 da Vinci® surgical systems, benefiting tens of thousands of
patients per year. da Vinci® represents an outstanding platform for the
development and application of new technologies to surgery. This position
offers a candidate with solid theoretical and exceptional software
development skills an opportunity to bridge the gap between academia and
industry. A successful candidate will be equally comfortable developing new
algorithms, identifying promising state-of-the-art algorithms from academia
and producing high-quality implementations that lend themselves to re-use,
testing, and productization through collaborations with Intuitive’s product
development engineers. He or she must excel in a high-energy team, must
have excellent communication skills and must be able to balance independent
production of results with the need to collaborate during planning, system
integration, and testing of larger projects.
The successful candidate will have demonstrated excellent performance in
the following areas:
· developing software applications for surgery or similar applications
· creating robust and professional software implementations
· working in small teams to build applications and infrastructure
that are extensible and robust.
Relevant Qualifications
· Masters or Doctorate in CS, ME, EE, or similar, or commensurate experience
· Candidates with more industrial experience have a strong edge, but
candidates with less experience can compete with superior ability to
deliver robust, professional software implementations
· Comfortable with all phases of the development lifecycle including
design, implementation, debug, verification, validations, and transfer
· Familiarity with teleoperations principles and robot mechanisms is a
strong plus
· A strong interest in the medical applications of robotics.
In addition to applying on Intuitive’s Web site, interested candidates
should e-mail a resume to Chris.Hasser@intusurg.com.
