Sr. Electrical and Electronic Design Engineer - Future Forward

Intuitive•Sunnyvale, CA
•$142,900 - $241,900•Onsite

About The Position

The Future Forward group at Intuitive Surgical is seeking a Senior Electrical and Electronic Design Engineer to architect, design, and bring up electronic hardware for next-generation robotic and vision systems. The role is part of a small, innovative team working in early product-development phases, where schematic and architecture decisions shape system performance. The engineer owns analog, digital, and mixed-signal circuit design from concept through schematic capture, PCB layout direction, prototype bring-up, design verification, and manufacturing transfer. The role emphasizes designing for electromagnetic compatibility and signal integrity from the outset, as well as diagnosing complex board- and system-level failures in the lab. The position requires integrity, care, attention to detail, and a commitment to high-quality products that improve patient outcomes.

Requirements

  • At least 8 years of experience designing production electronics in the medical device, automotive, or robotics industry, including at least one product taken from concept to production.
  • Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science.
  • Strong schematic design, review, and debugging skills across analog, digital, and mixed-signal circuits, using Altium Designer, Cadence OrCAD/Allegro, or Siemens Xpedition.
  • Practical EMC and EMI design and troubleshooting experience, with working knowledge of standards such as IEC 60601-1-2, CISPR 11/32, or the IEC 61000-4 immunity series.
  • Solid signal integrity and power integrity fundamentals for high-speed interfaces such as MIPI CSI-2, LVDS, PCIe, USB, DDR, or Ethernet, including impedance control, return paths, crosstalk, and decoupling.
  • Direct experience with imaging and vision hardware, motor drive electronics, or precision sensing, and with transferring designs into manufacturing and production test.
  • Laboratory experience with oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, near-field probes, and logic or protocol analyzers.
  • Experience working with embedded interfaces such as I2C, SPI, UART, CAN, USB, and Ethernet.
  • Experience using Python or MATLAB for test automation and data analysis.
  • Clear communication, strong documentation habits, and the ability to lead technical decisions, work independently, and mentor others.

Nice To Haves

  • Master of Science degree.
  • Experience under a regulated quality system such as ISO 13485, FDA 21 CFR Part 820, IEC 60601-1, and ISO 14971, or automotive functional safety such as ISO 26262.
  • FPGA design experience with VHDL or SystemVerilog.

Responsibilities

  • Design analog, digital, and mixed-signal circuits from concept through schematic capture, layout direction, prototype bring-up, and transfer to manufacturing.
  • Lead schematic and design reviews, and guide PCB layout for signal integrity, power integrity, and manufacturability.
  • Design for EMC and EMI through grounding, shielding, filtering, isolation, and ESD protection, and support pre-compliance and compliance testing.
  • Bring up and debug prototypes in the lab, drive hardware issues to root cause, and verify fixes.
  • Integrate sensors, cameras, illumination, motor drives, and compute platforms in partnership with Mechanical, Firmware, Software, Vision, and Test teams.
  • Document designs, verification protocols, and results under Intuitive design controls.
  • Mentor engineers and help shape design practices, reference designs, and the technology roadmap for future products.
  • Drive external suppliers and design partners for camera, sensor, optics, and PCBA subsystems, setting technical direction and holding builds to schedule and quality targets.

Benefits

  • Market-competitive compensation package including base pay, incentives, benefits, and equity.
