Ni Labview Products National Instruments Jobs in Virginia

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.

• Work in an R&D environment designing advanced mechatronic systems to enable integration and assembly of product components across multiple technology areas

• Design and deploy test fixtures and system-level solutions to support the development of new products

• Develop software to integrate hardware subsystems including motion control, feedback systems, and machine vision

• Design and characterize electro-mechanical assemblies including sensors, actuators, and drive systems

• Assist in the development of processes and architectures for complex mechatronic systems

• Collaborate on a cross-functional team to ensure hardware and software meet all system-level requirements across diverse product platforms

• Develop and document software and hardware systems

• Develop protocols and perform formal verification and validation of hardware and software releases

Skill/Job Requirements:

The candidate must have:

• BS degree (or higher) in Mechanical, Mechatronics, Electrical, Computer, or Industrial Systems Engineering, or a similar field related to software, electronics, robotics, or electro-mechanical systems

• Experience developing software to control or integrate hardware subsystems or complex electro-mechanical equipment

• Hands-on experience with mechatronic system design, including sensors, actuators, and embedded control

• Strong written and verbal communication skills

• Experience testing and troubleshooting hardware and software at the system level

• A passion for creating robust and reliable products

Prior experience in the following areas are optional but highly desirable:

• Experience with NI LabVIEW

• Experience with scripting languages (e.g. Python, JavaScript, etc.) for diagnostics, data analysis, and test automation

• Experience with stepper or servo motors, and position feedback

• Experience with cameras and vision systems

• Experience in mechanical design and tolerance analysis

• Experience with fiber optics or other advanced sensing technologies

• Experience in medical device development or regulated product environments

Due to the nature of our business and the role, please note that Intuitive and/or your customer(s) may require that you show current proof of vaccination against certain diseases including COVID-19.  Details can vary by role.
