Job Description

About the Company

Zap Surgical Systems is a surgical robotics start-up located in San Carlos, CA. Leveraging its unique gyroscopic motion and self-shielded design, our product, the Zap-X, is disrupting the industry and opening new frontiers in modern radiosurgery. Zap’s employees thrive in an environment where multiple fields of study come together to solve challenging and important problems. You will be joining a diverse, cross-functional team that is bringing to market the most advanced stereotactic radiotherapy technology.

Purpose of Position

We are looking for an Electrical Engineering intern to join our small dynamic team of accomplished engineers for the summer. In this internship you will have the opportunity to assist in the design and development of electrical systems related to the ZAP-X delivery system, write and debug firmware in C using MPLAB, Visual Studio IDE or similar, prepare and deliver design review presentations to justify proposed approaches and solutions, create schematics using Altium Designer and support the assembly of PCBAs as needed under the guidance of a mentor.

At Zap we have a mixture of both incremental and innovative design work ahead of ourselves. This individual will be managed by one of our electrical engineers and be a part of the Hardware Engineering team. We are expecting the intern to work a normal workweek to maximize their development and impact for the team.

With this dynamic environment comes the need for a highly energetic engineer who is ready to dive into design and testing to propel our product development forward. We are looking for someone who is self-motivated, a quick learner and a solid communicator. We do a lot of fun and challenging work every day, but we also work hard to maintain an easy-going environment with a strong sense of community.
