Description
Ethicon, a part of the Johnson and Johnson family of companies, is currently recruiting an Electro-Mechanical Engineer for the development of surgical robotic instruments in their Cincinnati, Ohio location.
The Ethicon Surgical Care business offers a broad range of products, platforms and technologies—including sutures, surgical staplers, clip appliers, trocars and synthetic mesh devices—that are used in a wide variety of minimally invasive and open surgical procedures. Specialties include support for treatment of colorectal and thoracic conditions, women’s health conditions, hernias, cancer and obesity. The Ethicon Surgical Care business combines products and services of two market-leading legacy companies, both with long histories of medical innovation. Ethicon, Inc. based in Somerville, New Jersey, was founded more than 80 years ago as a pioneer in suture development and manufacturing, helping to transform the safety and effectiveness of open surgery. Ethicon Endo-Surgery, Inc. was created 20 years ago in Cincinnati, Ohio, developing innovative devices that have driven the revolutionary shift from open to minimally invasive surgery that continues to lead the industry today.
This position is for an Electro-Mechanical Engineer working with internal and external development teams to ensure effective delivery of novel tools for a new surgical robot. The Electro-Mechanical Engineer will collaborate across internal and external organizations to help define, implement, and commercialize novel surgical interfaces tools for a new robotics platform.
Collaborate with internal and external stakeholders to define and co-develop complex electro-mechanical tool / robot interfaces.
Serve as a primary technical interface between internal organizations and external robotics companies and tool suppliers. Ensure full technical communication, alignment, and transparency to facilitate timely commercialization.
Manage technical interface requirements in collaboration with external parties, including future needs for advanced tools, connectivity, and upgrades, as well as other sources of technical requirements such as electrical safety standards
Manage resolution of interface issues, tradeoffs, and risk under direction of overall project team, and ensure appropriate testing / validation of Ethicon and external tools in the robotic environment.
Serve a lead technical role in creating and executing multi-generational tool plans and road maps. May include evaluation of internal or external opportunities to improve system performance, facilitate new procedures, or broaden business unit product line.
