Job Description

Robotics and Digital Solutions, is part of Johnson & Johnson Med Tech. At Johnson & Johnson Robotics and Digital Solutions, we’re changing the trajectory of health for humanity, using robotics to enhance healthcare providers’ abilities and improve patients’ diagnoses, treatments, and recovery times. Johnson & Johnson Robotics was established in 2020 with the integration of Auris Health, Verb Surgical, C-SATS, and Ethicon. It comprises three key med-tech platforms: Flexible Robotics (MONARCH®), Surgical Robotics (OTTAVA™), and Digital Solutions. Join our collaborative, rapidly growing teams in the San Francisco Bay Area (Redwood City and Santa Clara), Cincinnati, and Seattle. You’ll collaborate on breakthrough medical technologies that unite multiple subject areas to build a connected digital ecosystem that advances medical professionals’ skills and improves patient outcomes.

In this role, you will design and develop sophisticated robotic instruments that provide robust clinical value. You will be a vital member of a product development team, leading various assignments in collaboration with other design engineers, manufacturing engineers, designers, and multi-functional partners.

Under general direction and in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local laws/regulations and Corporate Johnson & Johnson, procedures and guidelines, this position:

• Design, iterate, and evaluate product concepts quickly and effectively via prototype builds, laboratory testing, and/or computer simulations
• Lead development of design requirements and rationale based on user needs and product function; translate design requirements into concepts /solutions while balancing tradeoffs and business impact
• Develop complex test methods, design/build fixtures and systems for testing
• Generate/process/analyze advanced engineering data to meet design spec’s
• Commercialize new products via the design control process, applying good documentation practices, spanning from feasibility to V&V through launch
• Lead detailed reviews of designs, requirements, Spec’s, etc. and effectively communicate technical information in written and verbal forms across the organization, including status, opportunities, risks, and recommendations
• All responsibilities listed may not be assigned and other responsibilities may be assigned

Qualifications

Qualifications

• One of the following combinations of education and experience is required;

• 6+ years of relevant product development and design experience with a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, or related science/engineering field OR
