Intuitive Surgical’s research group is looking
for interns to help carry out some exciting
cross-disciplinary projects in robotic
surgery. We are looking for 1-3 exceptional
interns ready to become part of a project team
with full-time engineers. We’ve got needs in the
areas of applications programming, embedded
programming, and ME design. Anyone who ends up
in this group will get good medical device
experience and will go to labs with
surgeons. Since we’re hoping to hang onto the
talent for a while, in addition to grads, we
would be interested in looking at strong seniors
who are about to graduate and may be continuing
with a master’s or Ph.D. program in the
fall. Please distribute this e-mail freely
within the Stanford community. Here’s some more detail on the various roles:
Applications programming – graphics visualization
(augmented reality & user interface) for novel
instruments such as robot-carried ultrasound probes
Embedded software – such as applications
programming interface modifications to implement
a two-way API capable of commanding robot motions for research labs
Computer vision – novel implementations of
algorithms to track surgical tools and tissue,
and dealing with systems issues from image capture through display.
Mechanical design – including robot component
design, instrument (end-effector) design, and novel sensor integration
