DescriptionJoining Intuitive Surgical means joining a team dedicated to using technology to benefit patients by improving surgical efficacy and decreasing surgical invasiveness, with patient safety as our highest priority.Primary Function Of PositionIntuitive Surgical, Inc. produces the da Vinci® Surgical System, a minimally invasive robotic surgery system that uses highly complex mechanics, replaceable instruments and accessories, and enhanced three-dimensional visualization to extend surgical technique and precision beyond the limits of the human hand.The Mechanical Design Engineer will help identify performance, cost, and reliability improvements for Intuitive’s products, and complete the development, documentation, and verification of these improvements. The successful candidate will have both the technical depth to resolve complex mechanical, materials and manufacturing design issues and the ability to work in an interdisciplinary team to troubleshoot to root cause higher level system issues. A strong sense of shared responsibility and shared reward is required as well as a commitment to high product quality.Roles And Responsibilities
Work in cross-functional project teams to assist with design improvements, develop prototypes, and verify modifications to surgical robots and equipment.
Investigate and determine root cause of both latent and emerging design, manufacturing or material defects
Develop test methods to test existing and new design solutions for these defects according to corporate standard and departmental operating procedures
Test solutions for these defects according to corporate standard and departmental operating procedures
Provide mechanical engineering support for resolution of field and manufacturing issues
Support the CAPA and CPIP processes and quality/regulatory audits as required
Establish individual goals consistent with overall project goals
QualificationsSkill/Job Requirements:
BSME required, MSME preferred. 0 - 3 years of experience designing electro- mechanical products.
Experience with mechanism design, plastics, and/or disposable medical products are a strong plus
Familiarity with and prior exposure to data analysis using Matlab
Proven experience with integration of electromechanical components and testing
Proficiency using CAD to design and document mechanisms; SolidWorks and/or ProE (SolidWorks preferred)
Hands-on engineering with the proven ability to work well in a team environment
Strong in mechanical design principles fundamentals
Mechanism analysis skills, including statics, dynamics, kinematics, strength of materials and stress analysis
Proficient communicator relating to authoring of Experiments and writing Reports
Exposure to commercial off the shelf components such as ball bearings, DC motors, encoders, clamps, springs, and couplings
Hands-on engineering experience with the proven ability to work well in a team environment
Comfortable operating measurement and test equipment
Comfortable with all phases of the product development lifecycle including design, implementation, debug, verification, qualification, and transfer
Ability to travel up to 10% time
A real excitement to learn and get to the bottom of tough technical problems
