Sr. Robotic Algorithms and Controls Engineer (Systems Analyst)

Intuitive•Sunnyvale, CA

2d•$156,800 - $265,500•Onsite

About The Position

As a senior member of the Systems Analyst team working on the Ion Endoluminal System, you will work on both robotic algorithms (feedback control and others) and the development of tools and software infrastructure that support those algorithms. The successful candidate will have the technical depth to tackle deep analysis problems and the ability to work in an interdisciplinary team to drive future designs and improvements into the product. The Ion™ endoluminal system is Intuitive's robotic platform for minimally invasive biopsy in the peripheral lung, with an initial goal of improving the early diagnosis of lung cancer. The Ion Product Engineering team is responsible for the continued development and improvement of the Ion™ platform across the full system.
