Sr Engineer, Application

Canon U.S.A., Inc.•Cambridge, MA

1d•$104,870 - $157,050•Hybrid

About The Position

The RCS-L robotic system project is advancing into its critical design verification phase. This shift has created an immediate, exponential increase in demand for hands-on system, electronics, mechanics manufacturing, testing, and verification/validation activities. This senior engineer will bridge critical gaps between hardware system engineering, surgeon Key Opinion Leaders, and contract manufactures. The activities performed in this role are critical for completing the phases and eventually 510K submission. The current engineering incumbents at BIC are fully allocated to core, parallel development tracks and system software tasks. As the RCS-L project is advancing into the design verification phase, there is a greatly increasing demand for manufacturing, testing, and verification/validation activities. This is a full‑time position requiring 35 hours per week, Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The role follows a hybrid work schedule, with four days in the office and one remote day per week, unless business needs require additional in‑office attendance. Work schedules and in‑office requirements may change based on business needs.

Requirements
