Sr. Application SW Developer

Job description

We are a lean team of five developers responsible for creating and scaling software packages that power our global product servicing. Our software packages interface directly with hardware to execute critical configuration, calibration, and verification checks, while guiding service users through complex repairs. Operating with high autonomy within the broader Service Tools team, we value collaboration and pragmatic design. What You'll Do • Develop and enhance software tools used by field service engineers to install, maintain, and troubleshoot robotic systems. • Integrate software components within a larger system architecture and resolve issues across multiple upstream and downstream dependencies. • Own specific software packages for assigned products, ensuring reliable performance and consistent behavior in the field. • Work at the tail end of product development to translate upstream features, processes, and content into usable service tooling. • Collaborate with product support engineering, embedded software, manufacturing software, and field service teams to integrate inputs into cohesive solutions. • Identify gaps or inefficiencies in existing processes and propose improved approaches for integrating content and workflows into service tools. • Ensure a consistent and intuitive user experience across software packages used by the same end users. What You'll Bring • Minimum Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or adjacent field with 8 years of experience, or Master's degree with 6 years of experience, doctorate degree with 3 years of experience • Strong proficiency in Python (required), with experience building production software tools. • Experience debugging and resolving issues across complex systems with multiple dependencies. • Proven ability to lead or take ownership of projects that involve collaboration across multiple engineering teams • Experience working in environments with structured processes for requirements, testing, and validation (e.g., medical, aerospace, or similar regulated industries preferred) • Comfort working with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, including field engineers and cross-functional partners • Demonstrated ability to think creatively and improve existing processes or workflows • Experience developing desktop or service-oriented applications (Qt or similar tools a plus) • Familiarity with modern development practices including unit testing and CI/CD pipelines. 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.
