Primary Function of Position:

In this role, you must utilize creativity and sound engineering judgment in the design of endoscopes, collaborating within highly cross-functional teams to ensure our products provide value to patients and customers.

You will be expected to use design and analytical skills to conceptualize and develop designs, and perform failure analysis when required.

Making sound decisions when faced with the time constraints and ambiguous or incomplete information typical of research and development is essential.

The ability to acquire additional knowledge and learn new skills is paramount – no one comes in knowing everything, but an eager and willing learner is key to success in the role.

Roles and Responsibilities:

• Lead problem solving and troubleshooting efforts and perform failure analysis
• Represent design tradeoffs within multi-disciplinary teams to define requirements for new and current designs
• Work closely with the FPGA engineering team to provide full functionality to the circuit design
• Write detailed design documentation, including specifications and verification plans, for a regulatory-controlled environment
• Develop and execute test methods for designs
• Support commercialization of the final product by troubleshooting emerging design, manufacturing or component issues

Skills, Experience, Education, and Training:

Required:

• Minimum BSEE, or similar.
• Familiarity with a broad range of electronic components and hardware, including analog, power, FPGAs, microcontrollers, memories, logic, signal conditioning, and communication interfaces.
• Familiarity with analog and/or power designs (such as motor drivers or power supplies) at the schematic and PCB-design level.
• Self-driven with the ability to excel in a high-energy, small, focused team environment, to maintain a strong sense of shared responsibility and shared reward, and to make work fun and interesting.
• Passion for details in creating robust and reliable electronics designed for mission-critical applications

Preferred:

• MSEE (Post-graduate study) or equivalent work experience, minimum 5+ years experience
• Familiarity with RF and antenna circuitry such as used in RFID and communications (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, power transfer, etc.)
• Experience designing PC boards, including hands-on board layout (Allegro preferred), bring-up, and debug.
• Familiarity with Verilog or other HDL programming languages
• Experience with scripting languages, especially Python
• Strong concept development, design analysis, hands-on prototyping, and performance and reliability testing skills
• Thorough understanding of engineering materials, fabrication processes, component selection criteria, and design for reliability and manufacturability
• Familiarity with the full product development lifecycle including concept development, design, implementation, debug, verification, qualification, and transfer to manufacturing

Due to the nature of our business and the role, please note that Intuitive and/or your customer(s) may require that you show current proof of vaccination against certain diseases including COVID-19.

Details can vary by role.
