About the role

Intuitive Surgical is seeking a Principal Systems Research Engineer for the Future Forward Research group. This senior expert applies advanced systems engineering to resolve core technical issues and guide concept-to-prototype development for surgical robotics. You will own systems architecture, requirements flow-down, and risk retirement across multiple early-stage concepts, lead cross-functional teams, mentor engineers, and represent the organization with academic, clinical, and industry

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
