Staff Integration Engineer, R&D

Reports to: Head of Robotics, R&D

Workplace type: Hybrid, on-site in Santa Cruz an average of 4 days per week

Responsibilities

• Triage and solve complex, cross functional problems by identifying root causes across mechanical, electrical, and software systems, then owning resolving issues through crowdsourcing solutions, selecting the optimal approach, and driving implementation to completion.
• Lead the electromechanical integration of robotic hardware. This includes planning, coordination, execution, and regular communication to stakeholders.
• Participating in hands on building and commissioning of robotic system prototypes, combining mechanical, electronic, and software principles, and conducting rigorous testing and simulations to evaluate performance.
• Provide keen judgement on priorities, balancing milestone targets, derisking, learning, and scale-up to ensure we move as efficiently as possible.
• Provide escalation support to our Manufacturing and Case Support (field) teams.
• Work across engineering teams to define and refine system and subsystem requirements, ensuring that considerations from across the technical spectrum are heard and understood.
• Document and communicate design learnings on manufacturability and reliability to the broader hardware team, creating scalable processes that enable others to replicate setup and integration without creating dependencies.

Skills

• Experience with test and debug of electromechanical systems, and the ability to do basic PCBA design modifications.
• Hands‑on experience with lab equipment (oscilloscopes, multimeters, signal analyzer).
• C++ and Python programming skills, with the ability to run and configure test scripts to support debugging, and create clear bug reports when issues are found.

Qualifications

• BS in a related engineering discipline, or equivalent work experience.
• Expecting 8+ years of relevant experience (medical device or a similar regulated field experience preferred).
• Experience with medical device (or equivalent) development process, design control, design verification, and regulatory processes.
• Comfortable working with high levels of ambiguity and an ability to convert that into tangible outcomes.
• Ability to work in a hybrid work environment, working onsite in Santa Cruz on average 4 days a week.
