This research and development role will lead efforts to define, simulate, test, and improve the accuracy performance of our Mako robotic system, which includes a robot arm and optical tracking module. Your responsibilities will include translating user needs into design accuracy specifications and leading the effort to allocate and decompose accuracy requirements on multi-disciplinary concepts using modeling, simulation, budgeting, and mathematical techniques. You will design and implement algorithms and technology onto our robotic system to ensure arm calibration, pre-surgery accuracy checks, and intra-operative checks result in an accurate clinical outcome. By partnering with internal and external stakeholders, you will drive technical strategies that meet clinical needs and enhance the company's performance through innovative solutions., * Build and use tools (Matlab, Python, Monte-Carlo, FEA, Minitab, etc.) to simulate accuracy of the Mako surgical robotic platform and localization system. Apply statistics approaches to data to compare simulated accuracy result to requirement. * Lead technical integration of devices to be used to improve robotic platform accuracy. * Apply advanced engineering theories to develop concepts while establishing methods to prove concept feasibility. * Create and assess performance of algorithms (optimization, calibration, accuracy check) used in robotic surgery. * Lead the effort to define an accuracy budget, negotiate with stakeholders allowed errors to the system, platform, and components. * Design and execute tests and tools (hardware, software, data post processing) to measure accuracy. * Consider cross-functional needs (clinical, marketing, sustaining) to ensure successful transition of accuracy-related concepts from feasibility to product launch. * Identify and assess new technologies and capabilities (prototyping, testing) to improve robotic surgery accuracy. ## Related Videos - [Robots are coming into the wild!
