Vicarious Surgical is hiring a Senior Electrical Engineer to join our team in Waltham, MA. As a Senior Electrical Engineer, you will take ownership of much of the hardware that runs our robotic device. You will work closely with Embedded and Mechanical Engineers to specify and design solutions to complex real-world problems. As a senior-level contributor, you will have a large impact on the architecture and direction of our electrical systems. Previous experience bringing a product through regulatory stages and into production is a huge plus (but not required)! 

Vicarious Surgical’s novel approach to surgery uses a combination of proprietary, human-like surgical robots and virtual reality to transport surgeons inside the patient when performing minimally invasive surgery. Our technology was granted Breakthrough Device Designation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which provides unique opportunities for our regulatory pathway.  

This is a terrific opportunity for an experienced Electrical Design Engineering professional to join our company at a very exciting time and be a key member of a team that will bring our robotic solution to the market, offering a cost-effective path to improving patient outcomes and increasing the efficiency of surgical procedures for hospitals.
