Original 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

At Intuitive Surgical, we believe that minimally invasive care is life-enhancing care. By combining ingenuity and intelligent technology, we expand the potential of physicians to heal without constraints. As the company’s flagship product, the da Vinci Surgical System advances the frontier of human-machine interaction by fusing computers, robotics and imaging technologies into an immersive teleoperation platform for minimally invasive surgery. The Interaction Software Engineering team is responsible for implementing the 2D/3D user interfaces and supporting infrastructure for various displays across the da Vinci Surgical System, including an immersive stereoscopic viewer, 2D/3D flat panel displays, and touch panels. The team prides itself in creating quality products that make the customers’ experience of using technically complex surgical devices safe, easy to learn, and confidence inspiring. The Sr. Software Engineer within this organization works collaboratively across both software and hardware teams to design and develop infrastructure and user-facing features. The successful candidate must excel in a focused, high-energy, small team environment, be able to drive to solutions from high-level requirements, and have a commitment to high product quality. An ideal candidate is an independent and fast-paced developer with excellent hands-on problem-solving skills, and open to incorporating new learnings & ideas in an iterative and collaborative design process.

Roles and Responsibilities:

Work with a cross-functional team in a user-centered design process to arrive at a balanced understanding of unmet user needs and feasibility of technical solutions.
Translate high-level requirements into software architecture and algorithm designs.
Produce and maintain robust, high-quality software implementations: Design and develop UI software architecture with an emphasis on modularity, reusability, and scalability across multiple products in the da Vinci product line.
Lead efforts to refactor existing codebases to improve code reuse, reduce duplication, and enable shared components across product variants: Partition and structure code to support targeted unit test development and automated verification testing, in alignment with product quality and regulatory requirements.
Support performance profiling and optimization of the interactive video/display subsystem, spanning rendering, compositing, and video streaming pipelines. Contribute to 2D/3D UI rendering, including display pipeline development for compositing and overlay rendering.
Participate in software/hardware failure mode analysis. Identify and implement robust hazard mitigation strategies.

Qualifications

Required Education, Skills & Experience

Minimum of 8 years relevant industry experience with a Bachelor's degree; or 6 years of experience and a Master’s degree; or a PhD with 3 years of experience; or equivalent experience
Experience developing and supporting products with interactive UI software, display pipelines, or video/image processing systems
Mastery of C/C++ programming
Demonstrated experience in all phases of the product development lifecycle including design, implementation, stabilization, verification, and maintenance
Experience designing, developing, and maintaining core software infrastructure with a focus on modularity and reusability
Proven ability to write well-structured, testable code, including partitioning software for unit testing and automated verification
Experience working in large software codebases
Experience with Linux software development
Comfortable working at multiple levels of an integrated hardware/software stack (e.g., device drivers, register-level interfaces)
Excellent communication and documentation skills
Passionate about delivering a quality product for the best possible user experience

Preferred Skills & Experience

Experience with GUI programming in Qt
Experience with performance profiling tools and optimization techniques for display/video subsystems
Experience with the Nvidia Jetson platform and Jetpack SDK
Experience with real-time 3D graphics rendering in OpenGL using GLSL shaders
Experience with GStreamer plugins and pipelines for real-time video streaming
Experience with CUDA and GPGPU techniques
Experience with natural user interface technologies such as 3D input devices, haptic devices, eye-tracking, or speech recognition

Certain information you provide as part of the application will be used for purposes of determining whether Intuitive Surgical will need to (i) obtain an export license from the U.S. Government on your behalf (note: the government’s licensing process can take 3 to 6+ months) or (ii) implement a Technology Control Plan (“TCP”) (note: typically adds 2 weeks to the hiring process). For any Intuitive role subject to export controls, final offers are contingent upon obtaining an approved export license and/or an executed TCP prior to the prospective employee’s start date, which may or may not be flexible, and within a timeframe that does not unreasonably impede the hiring need.

Compensation will be based primarily on the job level at which the role is filled and the

candidate’s qualifications, consistent with applicable law. We provide market-competitive compensation packages, inclusive of base pay, incentives, benefits, and equity.
