Staff Systems Analyst

Primary Function of Position

A Staff Systems Analyst contributes to the technical architecture and framework for motion control algorithms and safety systems. They use creative analytic techniques to solve complex problems. They are expected contribute to achievement of cross functional priorities using best in class practices and knowledge. They contribute directly to technology processes and also doing so they leave a legacy of high individual performance and effective collaboration rooted in Intuitive Surgicals Individual and Leadership expectations. Their technical capacity enables them to influence designs across a wide array of specialties including electrical mechanical software controls user interface and safety engineering.

Essential Job Duties

• Develop and own the tele-operated motion performance of robotic surgical instruments to ensure high-fidelity motion performance in the clinical setting.
• Work closely with the clinical development team to understand performance requirements.
• Work closely with the mechanical design team to optimize the mechanism for motion fidelity and overall performance.
• Use analysis and experimentation to develop a deep understanding of the behavior and limitations of the instrument mechanisms.
• Modify and the algorithms to optimize instrument motion fidelity.
• Implement features and algorithms to support new instruments such as extending a cutter or forming staples.
• Perform risk analyses and implementation of safety algorithms. This includes documentation of risks requirements and test protocols to support requests for approval by regulatory agencies such as the FDA.
• Collaborate with the manufacturing team to develop automated fixtures for calibrating testing and aiding assembly of the instrument. Additionally establish manufacturing test specifications that will ensure instrument performance.
• Lead/support by having a breadth of technical knowledge that enables a top-level view of the entire project. Using this perspective you will act as an interface between the various technical specialties. You are expected to take ownership of issues that cross disciplinary boundaries and use your broad skillset to ensure the success of the project.
