“We challenge the status quo all the time.” That’s how Michel Pedrazzini, Senior Director, Finance and Sales Operations, Europe, describes life at Intuitive. And you can see that mindset in small moments as much as in major milestones—from engineering teams doing the steady, exacting work of making complex systems run seamlessly, to sales teams finding new ways to train customers on our latest technology, to the collaboration across the company that helped bring da Vinci 5 from development to launch. This isn’t change for its own sake. Every problem solved and every challenge worked through helps us better support care teams and move closer to our mission.

Across Asia, we’ve wrapped this year’s Annual Commercial Meetings, bringing together teams in India, South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and China. “This year’s theme, Lead Through Value, came to life in every market. Teams demonstrated what it means to stay close to customers, understand their needs, and deliver value that goes far beyond technology through clinical collaboration, operational excellence, and disciplined execution.” — Glenn Vavoso, SVP & President, Asia Pacific In a healthcare landscape that moves fast, ACM helps us connect and collaborate across borders. We listen to customers and care teams, learn from each other across disciplines, and align our ecosystem around what matters most to patients.
At Intuitive, our work is rooted in supporting care teams with technology they can rely on—and improving it over time, with intention and focus. That mission is what first drew Sara Skoczylas to Intuitive as a senior contract negotiator. But what’s kept her inspired is the people and culture behind the work. “We have the right people on board, and everyone has the chance to express themselves,” she says. “Intuitive is a place where you are heard.” It’s that trust—in each other’s voices and perspectives—that ensures constant curiosity, questioning, and innovation. It’s that trust that empowers us to put patients first, always. Explore careers at Intuitive and see where your voice could lead: https://lnkd.in/ePicy_uz #WeAreIntuitive
“We see these patients during one of the most stressful times in their life. When you tell them that you can potentially get them home sooner, they get very excited. It’s almost like magic,” said Dr. Mohammad Ramadan, a urologist from SSM Health Medical Group in Oklahoma City. A patient interaction is more than just a clinical experience. It’s an opportunity to connect and build trust. This has been a priority for Ramadan throughout his career. In our latest Surgeon Spotlight, we spoke with Ramadan about his journey in medicine and surgery with the da Vinci SP. Read the full interview below.
“This was a chance to use my technical background in a way that also matched my values—and that’s a rare opportunity.” For Senior Manufacturing Engineer Justin Peeples, working at Intuitive brings engineering and purpose together—including promoting access to high-quality care for everyone. Throughout February, Intuitive is proud to celebrate Black History Month alongside the BLACK at Intuitive Employee Resource Group. BLACK is leading conversations and initiatives that tie our mission to real-world impact. Read Justin’s story on our careers blog: https://lnkd.in/e5--cgFF #WeAreIntuitive
Lung screening is transforming how cancer is found. Now, robotic-assisted bronchoscopy using Intuitive’s Ion endoluminal system is changing what we can do about it. A Europe-first study published in Thorax followed two hundred UK NHS patients with suspicious lung nodules undergoing biopsy with Ion. The results were remarkable: 99% precision in reaching difficult nodules (tool in lesion rate) and 92% diagnostic accuracy. “By using Ion to reach and biopsy these nodules, we’re more likely to give patients a clear diagnosis sooner, making screening more meaningful than before,” says Professor Pallav Shah, Consultant Respiratory Physician at Royal Brompton Hospital. “Most importantly, we can increase the chance of being able to provide curative treatment.” As lung screening programs expand, Ion could help healthcare teams turn early detection into early intervention—addressing capacity challenges while improving outcomes. That’s patient-centred care in action. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/escn5A2C
The work at Intuitive is built on real effort—and real responsibility. That’s how Veronica Sowers describes her experience as a medical device engineer at Intuitive. Teams give their full focus, and they’re trusted with the freedom to try and explore, because experimentation is how better solutions take shape. Engineers test, refine, and keep learning, knowing every detail matters. And when Veronica visits hospitals and observes procedures, she sees where all of it leads: Intuitive technology in the hands of surgeons and care teams, changing patients’ lives. The challenging path from experimentation to innovation to impact—that’s what’s waiting for you here. Where could your work lead?

Intuitive is committed to listening to our customers because that’s how meaningful innovation begins. By collaborating closely with our customers, we designed our technology to meet the real needs of physicians and care teams who use it every day. After all, physicians trust us to deeply understand their every thought and move while using Intuitive products, so they can focus on what matters most—the patient. This commitment starts at the earliest stages of the product development. Intuitive’s Human Factors team studies the physical, perceptual, cognitive, and emotional aspects of human performance to help design our technology for efficiency, learnability, comfort, and ease of use in the OR.
At Intuitive, we believe in advancing the art of surgical stapling. The SureForm 45 stapler isn’t just another tool—it’s true support in the operating room, providing real-time feedback so surgeons can focus on what’s important. Now available on the da Vinci SP system, SureForm takes the guesswork out of tissue compression, empowering surgeons to enhance staple integrity and minimize the risk of tissue damage across varying thicknesses. With SureForm now part of da Vinci SP, its reach expands and its potential grows— helping surgeons make more informed decisions when moments matter most.
Building technology that doesn’t exist anywhere else. Developing a career with exciting challenges and lasting impact. Contributing to a mission that puts patients first, always. People come to Intuitive for different reasons—but those motivations often meet in the same place: meaningful work, thoughtful teams, and the chance to keep growing while seeing how your efforts connect to real care.
