The core values of Horizon Surgical Systems Inc.
are:
Commitment to Excellence: We aim to deliver superior patient outcomes and surgeon experiences
Passion for Creativity and Innovation: We are driven by new ideas and aim to push the boundaries of what's possible
Teamwork and Camaraderie: We achieve our best when we collaborate and work together
Welcoming of Critical Opinion: We are enriched by constructive criticism and support the best ideas
Personal Accountability: We honor our commitments and take responsibility for our actions
Horizon Surgical Systems Inc.
offers:
An opportunity to build autonomous surgical robotic systems driven by image guidance and AI technology for the future of affordable, high-quality healthcare.
The opportunity to work alongside clinicians, engineers, and global leaders in cutting-edge AI, imaging, and robotics technology.
Competitive compensation and an excellent company-paid benefits package.
In your role as an engineer at Horizon Surgical Systems, you will design components and systems (hardware and software) as part of a complete product subjected to FDA regulations.
Your design will be subject to safety and efficacy requirements.
The level of title will be determined case by case, based on the candidate's qualifications and years of experience: senior engineer, staff engineer, or higher.
