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

Primary Function of Position The Staff Mechanical Design Engineer independently owns technically demanding mechanical and electromechanical subsystems for robotic systems. You will lead subsystem architecture and detailed-design decisions, resolve complex multidisciplinary problems, and contribute to integration decisions beyond your assigned subsystem. This is a hands-on individual contributor role combining mechanical design ownership with technical guidance and mentorship. The role reports to a Manager of Mechanical Design Engineering in New Product Development. Essential Job Duties

Own subsystem development from concept through verification and design transfer, including mechanical requirements, specifications, design-risk analyses and verification documentation. Support validation activities with the responsible functions.
Lead subsystem architecture decisions. Compare alternatives and justify tradeoffs.
Design precision mechanisms, joints and actuation assemblies. Select and size components such as motors, bearings, transmissions, brakes and sensors based on operating loads, motion requirements and expected life.
Use first-principles calculations and simulation to establish load paths, component margins, structural stiffness, dynamic behavior and fatigue life. Check assumptions and correlate models with test results.
Create and release CAD models, manufacturing drawings and design documentation. Apply GD&T and tolerance analysis to functional interfaces, assembly requirements and inspection.
Build, test, debug and iterate prototypes. Develop test methods and fixtures, investigate failures, and verify corrective actions.
Work directly with suppliers, supplier engineering, sourcing and manufacturing to resolve technical issues, improve DFM/DFA and cost, and prepare designs for transfer.
Collaborate with systems, electrical, controls, clinical, human factors, manufacturing, supplier engineering/sourcing, quality and regulatory partners to resolve requirements and subsystem interfaces.
Lead technical reviews and guide other engineers’ design and analysis approaches. Plan technical work across functions, set priorities, resolve risks and mentor engineers through problem-solving.

Qualifications

Required Skills and Experience

Experience developing robotic or complex electromechanical products in a regulated industry, with demonstrated independent subsystem ownership from concept through design transfer.
Working knowledge of design controls, risk management, verification and validation.
Deep expertise in first-principles mechanics and precision mechanisms, with demonstrated ability to perform stiffness, dynamics and fatigue analysis.
Proficiency in GD&T, tolerancing, materials, DFM/DFA and manufacturing processes.
Experience designing rotary or linear joints, sizing components, and justifying decisions through analysis; integrating actuation and sensing; and collaborating effectively with controls and electrical engineers.
Hands-on prototyping experience, including assembly, testing, debugging, and rapid iterations.
Proficient with CAD, simulation, and PLM tools such as SolidWorks, ANSYS, and Windchill.
Demonstrated technical leadership through design reviews, cross-functional decision-making, stakeholder influence and engineer mentorship.
Experience with risk management activities including FMEA, risk mitigation, and reliability assessments.

Required Education and Training

Required: Typical minimum Bachelor’s degree plus 12 years of relevant experience, or a Master’s degree plus 8 years, or a PhD plus 5 years.
Preferred: Master’s or PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline.

Working Conditions

On-site four days per week in Sunnyvale, CA.
May involve extended periods of computer-based design and analysis work.
Must be comfortable occasionally working in lab environments, including prototype assembly, mechanical testing, and safe use of standard mechanical tools and fixtures.
Must be able to occasionally lift and handle 25 pounds.
Travel: 10%, including occasional visits to supplier and manufacturing sites.

Preferred Skills and Experience The following skills and experience are not required but represent attributes of an ideal candidate.

Experience developing Class II or Class III medical devices, particularly surgical robotics or medical device capital equipment.
Direct application of standards and documentation frameworks such as ISO 13485, FDA QMSR (21 CFR Part 820), IEC 60601, ISO 14971, and DHF.
Experience supporting production launch, manufacturing scale-up or post-launch reliability investigations, and applying those lessons to new product designs.
