At Vicarious Surgical our mission is to give surgeons the tools to provide the highest quality of care to patients around the globe. Our technology combines immersive virtual reality and miniature robotics to give doctors superpowers, greatly improving their visibility and accuracy. We are a passionate and innovative team looking for great people with big ideas who want to create the next big thing. Are you ready?

As an integration engineer with a biomedical focus you will work at the intersection of the technical and clinical teams. You will have the ability to build, test, troubleshoot and demo our surgical robotic system, and will develop a good understanding of all the technical aspects of our platform (including software, controls, and electrical and mechanical hardware). You will help identify and document bugs or other unexpected behaviors, and communicate them to the different design teams.

You will work closely with the clinical team, helping plan and support cadaver and non-cadaver studies. You will interact with surgeons and other visitors, and teach them how to operate our system. You will also collaborate with the marketing team, as well as the systems and human factors engineering teams, aiding in gathering user feedback, and developing requirements for the system.
