Desired start date: October 2026

Location: San Carlos, California

We believe the future of the operating room lies in the hands of the empowered surgeon. They are bolstered with complete control, renewed confidence, and technology adaptable to any situation.

Our Maestro System delivers this empowerment, resulting in improved operating room efficiency and surgical care for patients - We are using tomorrow's technology to change surgery today.

Our blended French-American team is passionate about building this future. Together we are pushing the boundaries in a fast-paced yet focused and deliberate environment. We challenge ourselves often and celebrate our achievements. We believe that communication and planning are as important as execution.

🎉 The Role

The Systems Integration Engineer will contribute to the build, integration, debugging, testing, and verification of complex robotic system — the Maestro Platform.

This is an early-career, hands-on engineering role for someone with a strong foundation in either mechanical / mechatronics systems or software / embedded / data analysis, and a desire to grow into a broad systems integration role. We do not expect one candidate to already be strong in mechanical design, software, embedded systems, electrical debugging, and data analysis. A strong candidate may come from any of these backgrounds, as long as they enjoy hands-on debugging, learning across disciplines, and helping connect hardware, software, and clinical-use needs into a reliable robotic system.

The role will work closely with Robotics, Mechanical, Electrical, Software, Clinical, Operations, and Manufacturing teams to bring up systems and subsystems, investigate issues, build test fixtures, analyze data, and contribute to verification activities.

Your Core Responsibilities

• Contribute to integration, bring-up, debugging, and testing of robotic, electromechanical, embedded, and software subsystems within the Maestro System.
• Investigate system-level issues using structured troubleshooting, engineering data, test equipment, logs, and collaboration with cross-functional teams.
• Develop and maintain prototypes, test fixtures, lab tools, and characterization setups for engineering investigations, clinical labs, and verification activities.
• Execute engineering studies, system tests, and clinical lab activities to evaluate system performance, reliability, safety, usability, and integration behavior.
• Analyze test data, system logs, sensor outputs, and experimental results to inform root-cause analysis and design improvement.
• Document technical findings clearly and collaborate with cross-functional teams to translate integration findings into practical product and process improvements.

Your Day-to-day Activities

• Bring up robotic systems and subsystems, including actuators, sensors, embedded controllers, cables, fixtures, and software tools.
• Support engineering and clinical labs by preparing systems, troubleshooting issues, collecting data, and documenting observations.
• Use lab equipment, scripts, logs, and data analysis tools to run tests, debug issues, and summarize technical conclusions.
• Build or improve fixtures and workflows for motion testing, reliability testing, calibration, clinical lab support, manufacturing support, or verification testing.
• Work with senior engineers to investigate issues, propose solutions, and document next steps.

How You’ll Fit In

This role sits at the intersection of several engineering disciplines. You will help connect the work of Robotics, Mechanical, Electrical, Software, Clinical, Operations, and Manufacturing teams by testing how subsystems behave together in the real system.

You will be expected to learn the Maestro System deeply over time, understand how different design choices affect system performance, and help the team identify practical solutions to integration issues.

This role is a strong fit for an early-career engineer who enjoys technical variety, hands-on work, structured problem solving, and learning from experienced engineers in a regulated medical robotics environment.

Example backgrounds that may fit this role include mechanical engineers with strong mechatronics and test experience, software or embedded engineers interested in robotic systems, biomedical or robotics engineers with hands-on medical device or lab automation experience, or early-career engineers who enjoy system-level debugging, lab support, design characterization, and data-driven engineering investigations.

🧭 Qualifications, Skills & Attributes

Education / Experience: This role is intended for candidates with either:

• A BS/BEng in a relevant engineering discipline and 2+ years of hands-on engineering experience; or
• A recent or upcoming MS/MEng graduate in a relevant engineering discipline.

Relevant disciplines include Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, Robotics, Mechatronics, Biomedical Engineering, or related fields.

Must have:

• Strong technical foundation in at least one of the following areas:
  • Mechanical / Mechatronics: mechanism design, electromechanical systems, sensors, actuators, test fixtures, prototyping, or robotic hardware.
  • Software / Embedded / Data: Python, MATLAB, C/C++, embedded systems, Linux, test automation, data analysis, log analysis, or robotic software tools.
• Hands-on experience building, testing, debugging, or analyzing complex engineering systems through internships, research, industry work, or equivalent project experience.
• Strong problem-solving skills, including structured troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, and the ability to break ambiguous issues into testable questions.
