Job Description

The Multiport Software Group within Intuitive has an immediate opening for a Software Engineer to support automated test and the internal da Vinci emulator. You will be on the team responsible for building, deploying, and supporting our automated test framework which includes developing our system emulator and hybrid hardware-in-the-loop setups.

A successful candidate must excel in a high-energy focused team environment and must balance delivery of new features, supporting existing features, and tracking system changes. An excellent candidate can rapidly learn the large complex and continually evolving systems, through direct experimentation with the existing system. A deep sense of shared responsibility and shared reward is required, as is the ability to make work fun and interesting.
