What You Will Deliver:
* Lead in rapidly inventing and prototyping new electromechanical camera-delivery approaches that help our team resolve high-level systems problems in sophisticated, multi-arm surgical robots. Requires rapid design and prototyping to support proof-of-concept testing on a 2-week cadence for urgent, high-visibility project. Includes precision mounting, actuators, high-speed interconnects and cabling, development and integration of custom PCBAs, miniaturized harnessing, flex circuits, camera modules and wafer-level cameras, ISP boards, firmware
* Work with optical engineer to break compactness barriers with new high-performance camera prototypes in first 2 months, taking lead on electromechanical integration
* Work with our robotic-instruments team to invent new delivery approaches and build prototypes that quickly integrate to existing robotic-drive components for proof-of-concept testing
* Grow to serve as technical expert on robotic-system connectivity of sub-6 mm image sensors: roadmap for sensor data protocols and interface components, potential to enable new endoscope architectures, evolving ecosystem of devices and suppliers, etc.
* Work with Staff Mechanical Engineers to develop supplier network and internal tools to accelerate electrical and mechanical concept prototyping by 2-3x: in-house micro-3D printing and micro-assembly tools, quick-turn suppliers of high-speed multilayer PCBs, etc.
Required Qualifications:
* Bachelor's degree in mechatronics, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, physics, materials science, or related degree
* Minimum of 5 years hands-on engineering experience and proven track record in hardware development, with at least 2 years in robotics or mechatronics
* High-level proficiency in 3D CAD tools (SolidWorks preferred) and tolerance analysis of highly constrained designs (GD&T).
* Hands-on skills for building prototypes, including at least 2 of the following: machining, mechanical assembly, electromechanical integration, soldering, etc.
* Experience partnering with and managing a network of suppliers for any of the following: quick-turn precision machining, 3D printing, laser-cutting, PCBAs, and actuators
* This position will be based in Santa Clara, CA and may require up to 10% travel depending on business needs
Preferred Qualifications:
* Advanced degree
* Hands-on fabrication or machine-shop experience with tools such as 3-axis mill, lathe, CNC, 3D printer, laser-cutting machines as well as inspection equipment such as OMN/CMM and CT scan.
* Experience in at least 2 of the following: designing simple PCBAs, designing and sourcing flex circuits, and sourcing high-speed cables
* Experience designing and building functional prototypes of mechatronic systems incorporating compute, sensing, and actuation, from selecting drivers to onboard computer platforms
* Medical device experience
