Job Summary

Work Flexibility: Hybrid or Onsite

We are looking for a Senior Staff Engineer to support Digital Robotics and Enabling Technology. This research and development role will lead efforts to define simulate test and improve the accuracy performance of our Mako robotic system which includes a robot arm and optical tracking module. Your responsibilities will include translating user needs into design accuracy specifications and leading the effort to allocate and decompose accuracy requirements on multi-disciplinary concepts using modeling simulation budgeting and mathematical techniques. You will design and implement algorithms and technology onto our robotic system to ensure arm calibration pre-surgery accuracy checks and intra-operative checks result in an accurate clinical outcome. By partnering with internal and external stakeholders you will drive technical strategies that meet clinical needs and enhance the companys performance through innovative solutions.

This role is hybrid with the expectation to be on-site in Weston FL 3 days a week.

What You Will Do

You will build and use tools (Matlab Python Monte-Carlo FEA Minitab etc.) to simulate accuracy of the Mako surgical robotic platform and localization system. Apply statistics approaches to data to compare simulated accuracy result to requirement.
You will lead technical integration of devices to be used to improve robotic platform accuracy.
You will apply advanced engineering theories to develop concepts while establishing methods to prove concept feasibility.
You will create and assess performance of algorithms (optimization calibration accuracy check) used in robotic surgery.
You will lead the effort to define an accuracy budget negotiate with stakeholders allowed errors to the system platform and components.
You will design and execute tests and tools (hardware software data post processing) to measure accuracy.
You will consider cross-functional needs (clinical marketing sustaining) to ensure successful transition of accuracy related concepts from feasibility to product launch.
You will ientify and assess new technologies and capabilities (prototyping testing) to improve robotic surgery accuracy.

What You Need (Required)

Bachelors degree or higher in Mechanical Engineering Robotics Software Engineering Controls/Systems Engineering Biomedical Engineering or any related discipline
6 years of experience

Preferred Qualifications:

Experience in assessing integrating and developing electromechanical components and assemblies with familiarity in system processes related to mechatronics localization and/or robotics
Experience formulating design requirements and creating pre-Verification accuracy test protocols for electro-mechanical systems
Application of statistics to refine and assess large data sets
Practical application of linear algebra and kinematics to robotic and localization systems
Algorithm development especially for robotics sensors or anatomy registration
Basic robotics control understanding
Clinical operating room and cadaveric testing
Matlab Python C and CAD proficiency

Travel Percentage: 10%
