Manager, Embedded Software

Primary Function of Position

The Servo Software team is responsible for the realtime software infrastructure that supports critical performance safety and userfacing features of the da Vinci Surgical System Intuitives flagship product. Our realtime embedded software enables motion control audio intercom and sounds supervisory mode control and data generation and streaming. Additionally our team provides platform support for the da Vinci Simulator product line. Because our workstreams depend upon and enable the work of several other teams we occupy an exciting intersection of realtime architecture feature development and demonstration of product safety and reliability.

The successful candidate must excel in a highenergy focused and crossfunctional environment. They must be effective in leading a distributed team to deliver solutions with high product quality. They should demonstrate ownership of their areas of responsibility and of the overall product.  A strong sense of shared responsibility and shared reward is required.

Responsibilities
