In this role, you will serve as the technical lead and primary Systems Integration point of contact for cross-functional teams responsible for lifecycle support for deployed OTTAVA™ surgical robotics systems. You will triage field issues and drive resolution by engaging the appropriate technical experts. In addition, you will play a hands-on role in diagnosing issues, performing rigorous root cause analyses, and developing a deep understanding of underlying failure mechanisms. You will lead the development and implementation of mitigations for critical issues.

• Manage and perform component end-of-life (EOL) activities, including impact/risk assessment and definition of mitigation plans
• Improve sustaining processes in collaboration with cross-functional teams

Qualifications:

• BS or MS in Computer, Electrical, or Biomedical Engineering or equivalent is required.
• 5+ years of experience in systems integration, hardware engineering, robotics, mechatronics, mechanical, or biomedical engineering roles in industry is required
• 2+ years of experience in sustaining engineering, product lifecycle support, or related engineering roles is preferred

• Experience effectively collaborating with cross-functional teams and stakeholders is required
• Excellent organizational, prioritization, and project management skills, proven through the ability to work on multiple projects simultaneously
• Proven experience analyzing the root cause of issues and decomposing complex engineering issues into solvable problems is preferred.
• Ability and willingness to work on-site in Santa Clara, California is required.
