As a Sr Machine Learning Engineer on the Future Forward Navigation team, you will develop innovative digital solutions to extend Intuitive’s robotic product lines. Collaborating with experts in robotics, imaging, and software, you will build medical image analysis and computer vision systems for novel robotic platforms. This role spans the entire development cycle—from prototyping approximate requirements to delivering high-quality production code. The ideal candidate is an independent problem-solver with a broad technical scope (robotics, ML, graphics) who learns quickly and thrives in a collaborative environment.
Essential Job Duties
• Lead the end-to-end development of advanced computer vision and ML algorithms (segmentation, 3D reconstruction, object tracking) from proof-of-concept to deployment on resource-constrained embedded platforms
• Architect low-latency, real-time inference pipelines using C++ and CUDA, ensuring algorithms meet strict timing and accuracy budgets for surgical assistance
• Collaborate with designers, clinical engineers, and other software developers to translate approximate clinical needs into concrete technical requirements and verifiable software specifications
• Drive safety-critical software engineering practices, including failure mode analysis, hazard mitigation, and validation strategies for AI models
• Mentor junior engineers and define best practices for code quality and architectural patterns within a distributed robotic system
