Full job description
Company Description
It started with a simple idea: what if surgery could be less invasive and recovery less painful? Nearly 30 years later, that question still fuels everything we do at Intuitive. As a global leader in robotic-assisted surgery and minimally invasive care, our technologies—like the da Vinci surgical system and Ion—have transformed how care is delivered for millions of patients worldwide.
We’re a team of engineers, clinicians, and innovators united by one purpose: to make surgery smarter, safer, and more human. Every day, our work helps care teams perform with greater precision and patients recover faster, improving outcomes around the world.
The problems we solve demand creativity, rigor, and collaboration. The work is challenging, but deeply meaningful—because every improvement we make has the potential to change a life.
If you’re ready to contribute to something bigger than yourself and help transform the future of healthcare, you’ll find your purpose here.
Job Description
Primary Function of Position
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.
The Robotics and Control Manager (System Analyst) is responsible for leading
a high-performing team responsible for the design, development, and evaluation of the
robotic control algorithms that power the Ion™ platform. The role spans mechanical,
software, electrical, and quality and regulatory domains and demands close cross-
functional collaboration to deliver best-in-class robotic systems.
The ideal candidate brings the technical depth to tackle complex analysis problems
firsthand, and the leadership to set direction, develop talent, and drive solutions across
an interdisciplinary team.
Qualifications
Required Skills and Experience
Leadership & People Management
Lead and develop the team of Systems Analysts; assess capacity and skill needs, provide coaching, hire, and ramp up talent as the team grows.

Ensure the team adheres to design control processes (risk assessments, design reviews, V&V, etc.) per FDA and ISO standards.
Cross-Functional & Program Management
Own cross-functional interfaces (Electrical, Mechanical, Software, Clinical, Regulatory) and represent the team in program reviews; communicate status and decisions clearly across technical and leadership audiences.
Oversee software release documentation, including regulatory escalations, anomaly listings, and patch effectiveness tracking.
Technical Contribution
Demonstrate sound engineering judgment and strong problem-solving skills across software and hardware domains.
Deep expertise in control theory fundamentals and its application to mechatronic system design, verification, and safety; guide the team through complex design tradeoffs.
Strong C/C++ and MATLAB programming skills; remain hands-on to support the team in troubleshooting and problem resolution.
Required Education and Training
PhD in Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, or Robotics; Masters-level candidates will be considered based on relevant experience.
4+ years of experience as an individual contributor and 2+ years in a leadership position
