Future opportunities - Senior Embedded Software Engineer - Video Systems

Job Description

The Ion™ endoluminal system is Intuitive's new robotic platform designed for minimally invasive biopsy in the peripheral lung, with the goal of improving early lung cancer diagnosis. This position is integral to the development of a novel surgical robot system. The engineer will collaborate with a skilled team to design, build and optimize software that enables high-performance video capture, enhancement, compression, streaming, and display across a range of embedded platforms. The engineer will collaborate with hardware and systems teams to deliver next-generation solutions using GPU and FPGA-based pipelines to process and transport 4K video data efficiently and reliably. The successful candidate should thrive in a collaborative team environment, be adept at developing solutions from initial requirements, and be committed to delivering high-quality products. A strong sense of shared responsibility and teamwork is essential
