Job Description

Primary Function of Position:

The Ion™ endoluminal system is Intuitive's flexible robotic platform for minimally invasive biopsy in the peripheral lung. Our Advanced Product Development (APD) team is a small multi-disciplinary group that investigates new market opportunities for the Ion business unit through fast-paced, exploratory work into new technologies and clinical applications. We are seeking a versatile Sr. Software Engineer who can span a range of software and algorithms functions and thrive in a fast-paced, rapidly evolving applied research environment. This role is an exciting opportunity to join a rapidly growing new business within Intuitive and contribute meaningfully to its future growth.

Essential job duties:

  • Collaborate effectively with a small, fast-moving cross-functional group of colleagues from product, clinical, and engineering backgrounds to rapidly evaluate the desirability, feasibility, and viability of new ideas.
  • Prototype new software features and algorithms with enough fidelity and scalability to quickly iterate, test, and evaluate new functionality.
  • Contribute broadly across multiple software layers, including embedded, algorithm, and GUI development.
  • Develop proof-of-concept tools, workflows, and application features that support device, system, and user-facing experiences.
  • Troubleshoot and debug complex, multidisciplinary systems involving software, hardware, and electro-mechanical interactions.
  • Take strong technical ownership of projects, driving work forward with a high degree of independence in an ambiguous, research-oriented environment.
