Job Description
Primary Function of Position
Intuitive Surgical manufactures the da Vinci SimNow Simulator for use in the training of the da Vinci surgical systems. The da Vinci is used in minimallyinvasive surgical applications. Virtual reality (VR) simulation plays an important role in the improvement of surgeon technical skills of robotassisted surgery. The Senior Simulation Software Engineer position offers an opportunity for a candidate with exceptional software and virtual reality/video games engineering skills to develop novel VR surgical simulation technologies to support the Simulator portfolio. A successful candidate will be equally comfortable developing simulation software interfaces to highlycomplex robotic systems and instruments. In this role you will work closely with various groups such as engineering design art human factors education and clinical engineering teams to develop cutting edge simulation technologies to advance our training products.Experience in developing custom physics engines and generating realistic simulation of clinical environments in terms of rendering physics and interaction are highly desired.
Essential Job Duties
- Work under the guidance of the Sr Manager Simulation Product Development
- Extend and improve the simulation pipeline in terms of fidelity and realism
- Implement real time simulation for robotic surgery this includes utilizing commercial game engines as well as research and development of custom physics engines
- Research prototype and develop new simulation technologies and ideas to push the cutting edge of our simulation content
- Collaborate with other engineers and 3D technical artists
- Review videos and images of real clinical procedures to improve the simulation software
- Working in a shared code base implementing proper development principles
- Find the sweet spots between performance optimization robustness and visual fidelity
