About the role

Open Position - Senior/Staff/Principal Mechanical Engineer - Robotic Hardware Horizon Surgical Systems Inc.
Horizon Surgical Systems Inc. aims to expand access to care, provide superior capabilities to the human surgeon, and enhance patient outcomes.
Horizon Surgical Systems Inc. is seeking mechanical engineers with significant experience in robotic product development to contribute to a novel surgical robotic system for ophthalmology.

Lead and participate in teams, and work independently, to develop the electro-mechanical subsystems of a complete surgical robotic system.
Adhere and contribute to design standards, the Quality Management System, and project planning.
Horizon Surgical Systems Inc. is revolutionizing the world of surgical ophthalmology by developing a novel, AI driven, and imaging-guided surgical robotic system.
Microsurgery in general and Ophthalmology are subfields of surgery for which the surgical outcomes can be significantly improved by robotic systems to allow superior dexterity, precision, accuracy, and visualization beyond the human surgeon's own capabilities.
We aim to deliver superior patient outcomes and surgeon experiences
We achieve our best when we collaborate and work together

Must have previously developed, from concept to at least functional prototype, multi-DOF robotic systems.
Experience with novel or unusual kinematic structures
Familiarity with a wide range of transmission mechanisms
Experience with robotic components from a wide range of vendors
Proficiency at simulation and analysis of robotic kinematics, dynamics, and workspace
Experience designing robotic systems to pass IEC 60601-1-2
Apply all available tools, software, training, and experience to effectively analyze and solve engineering problems, mitigate potential risks, and maximize system functionality and safety.
Education and experience:
Minimum: B.S.+5/M.S.+3 YOE in robot product development.
Ph.D. research on robot mechanism design and robotic hardware development may substitute for industry experience.
Degrees should be in relevant disciplines such as mechanical / electrical / mechatronics / biomedical / robotics engineering, material science, or computer science.
Staff/Principal levels expected to have personally developed non-traditional multi-DOF robotic systems (not 6/7 DOF industrial arm, SCARA, gimbal, XYZ stage, etc).
Expertise in:
Hardware design of robotic mechanisms.
Deep mechanical design expertise of linear and rotary joints

Horizon Surgical Systems offers a competitive compensation and benefits package including medical, dental, 401k, remote days, unlimited PTO, paid maternity/paternity leave, and company holidays.
