Job Detail

Joining Intuitive Surgical means joining a team dedicated to using technology to benefit patients by improving surgical efficacy and decreasing surgical invasiveness, with patient safety as our highest priority. Intuitive Surgical’s Aubonne engineering group designs new imaging systems for surgical robotics.  Within Intuitive Surgical’s overall engineering effort, the Aubonne engineering group designs cameras and imaging systems to be used by surgeons to see new information about the surgical site.  We are looking for an engineer who can work well in a small group and is a hands-on, self-motivated, self-directed, technically strong software engineer, ideally with experience in imaging and an interest in medical & novel imaging methods.

Primary Function of Position

The Software Engineer brings a key contribution to a team responsible for the architectural design and implementation of software to support novel imaging systems for surgery being developed by the Aubonne engineering group.

Roles and Responsibilities

• The definition of the architecture, development, testing, and maintenance of software applications for new imaging modalities for minimally invasive surgery


• Development of PC-side applications for new imaging devices developed by the Aubonne team


• Software development in object-oriented C++, CUDA, and Python both for Linux and Windows


• Development of software to acquire, process, display, and store imaging data in real-time


• Development of C code for embedded imaging devices

Required Knowledge, Skills, and Experience

• Minimum BSc in Software Engineering or a related discipline. MSc or PhD is a plus.


• 3 years of experience in a similar role with:
  
  
  
  • Object-oriented development in C++ and familiarity with design patterns
  
  
  • Knowledge of design concepts such as multithreaded applications, inter-process communication, or concurrency
