Open Position - Senior/Staff/Principal Mechanical Engineer - Robotic HardwareHorizon Surgical Systems Inc.Horizon Surgical Systems Inc. is seeking mechanical engineers with significant experience in robotic product development to contribute to a novel surgical robotic system for ophthalmology.
Qualifications:- Education and experience:
- Preferred: B.S.+10/M.S.+8 YOE in robot product development.
- Minimum: B.S.+5/M.S.+3 YOE in robot product development.
- Ph.D. research on robot mechanism design and robotic hardware development may substitute for industry experience.
- Degrees should be in relevant disciplines such as mechanical / electrical / mechatronics / biomedical / robotics engineering, material science, or computer science.
- Must have previously developed, from concept to at least functional prototype, multi-DOF robotic systems.
- Staff/Principal levels expected to have personally developed non-traditional multi-DOF robotic systems (not 6/7 DOF industrial arm, SCARA, gimbal, XYZ stage, etc).
- Expertise in:
- Hardware design of robotic mechanisms.
- Experience with novel or unusual kinematic structures
- Deep mechanical design expertise of linear and rotary joints
- Familiarity with a wide range of transmission mechanisms
- Experience with robotic components from a wide range of vendors
- Proficiency at simulation and analysis of robotic kinematics, dynamics, and workspace
- Working knowledge of electrical design, including basic PCB design, component selection, and wiring.
- Design in compliance with FDA guidelines
- CAD - SolidWorks, SolidWorks PDM, GD&T.
- Hands-on prototyping, debugging, and testing.
- Sufficient programming ability in languages/software such as Python, MATLAB, or C/C++ to design, test, and analyze performance of developed hardware systems.
- Other Technical Desirables:
- Experience designing robotic systems to pass IEC 60601-1-2
- Ability to incorporate aesthetics into functional designs
- Innovative and creative thinking
- Experience with remote-center-of-motion mechanisms and haptic devices
Expectations and Responsibilities:- Lead and participate in teams, and work independently, to develop the electro-mechanical subsystems of a complete surgical robotic system.
- Adhere and contribute to design standards, the Quality Management System, and project planning.
- Apply all available tools, software, training, and experience to effectively analyze and solve engineering problems, mitigate potential risks, and maximize system functionality and safety.
- Assist and cooperate with other teams and colleagues to find solutions to interdisciplinary challenges inherent in complex robot system development.
- Commute to, and work on-site, at our Santa Monica or Malibu-based offices as needed. This is a 5-days-in-office position.
- Effectively communicate and present to upper management, within and between teams, and to external parties.
Compensation:Horizon Surgical Systems offers a competitive compensation and benefits package including medical, dental, 401k, remote days, unlimited PTO, paid maternity/paternity leave, and company holidays.
Base salary ranges (excluding equity and end of year bonuses)
- Senior: $110k-$135k
- Staff: $135k-$160k
- Principal: $160k-$185k
This is an exciting opportunity to join a high-tech startup that is revolutionizing surgical robotics in ophthalmology.
