System Analyst Intern

Job Description

Primary Function of Position

Systems Analysts (Robotic Control Engineers) are responsible for generating, debugging, and tuning the key motion algorithms associated with Intuitive Surgical products. As a Systems Analyst Intern on the Ion Endoluminal project, Intuitive’s robotic platform for minimally invasive biopsy in the peripheral lung, the hired candidate will collaborate on investigations that inform next generation motion control algorithms and their interaction with hardware designs. The successful candidate will have both the technical depth to identify and resolve complex control algorithm issues and the breadth to work with cross-functional teams team to remove blockers.
