Required Skills and Experience • Fluent in object-oriented programming using modern C/C++ • Demonstrate experience in leading complex and highly collaborative user interface design and development for 2D and 3D user interface. • Demonstrated experience in multiple phases of the product development lifecycle including design, implementation, debug, verification, and maintenance. • Experience or interest in leading, mentoring, and managing a team of talented developers Required Education and Training • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Software, Electrical or Computer Engineering preferred • Minimum of 10 years industry experience developing and supporting digital interfaces Preferred Skills and Experience • Experience in embedded software development. • Experience with GUI development frameworks; experience with Qt. • Experience with 3D graphics frameworks (OpenGL, Vulkan, etc.) • Passionate for delivering the best possible experience to the user. It started with a simple idea: what if surgery could be less invasive and recovery less painful? Nearly 30 years later, that question still fuels everything we do at Intuitive . As a global leader in robotic-assisted surgery and minimally invasive care , our technologies—like the da Vinci surgical system and Ion —have transformed how care is delivered for millions of patients worldwide. We’re a team of engineers, clinicians, and innovators united by one purpose: to make surgery smarter, safer, and more human. Every day, our work helps care teams perform with greater precision and patients recover faster, improving outcomes around the world. The problems we solve demand creativity, rigor, and collaboration. The work is challenging, but deeply meaningful—because every improvement we make has the potential to change a life. If you’re ready to contribute to something bigger than yourself and help transform the future of healthcare , you’ll find your purpose here.
