At Zimmer Biomet, we believe in pushing the boundaries of innovation and driving our mission forward. As a global medical technology leader for nearly 100 years, a patient’s mobility is enhanced by a Zimmer Biomet product or technology every 8 seconds.
As a Zimmer Biomet team member, you will share in our commitment to providing mobility and renewed life to people around the world. To support our talent team, we focus on development opportunities, robust employee resource groups (ERGs), a flexible working environment, location specific competitive total rewards, wellness incentives and a culture of recognition and performance awards. We are committed to creating an environment where every team member feels included, respected, empowered and recognised.
What You Can Expect
Ensures orthopaedic surgical robotic systems are designed for serviceability, reliability, and exceptional customer experience. Integrates Design for Serviceability (DfS) principles into robotic platforms, develops field service workflows, and enables rapid, safe interventions in high-stakes surgical environments. Collaborates with engineering, Quality, Regulatory, and Field Service teams to deliver systems that minimize downtime, maximize surgical uptime, and meet stringent compliance standards.
How You'll Create Impact
Define and enforce DfS requirements for robotic systems: modular assemblies, quick-connect cabling, sterile field considerations, and tool-free access for critical components. Collaborate with robotics engineers to design service-friendly architectures (e.g., swappable joint modules, sensor calibration ports, embedded diagnostics). Conduct serviceability FMEAs and validate service life cycle. Develop service BOMs, preventive maintenance schedules, and calibration protocols aligned with orthopaedic surgical use cases. Specify and validate built-in diagnostics, and telemetry. Support and execute segments of complex product development to advance projects through the design /development/V&V/launch process. Plan and execute verification protocols. Design service workflows that minimize disruption. Service readiness for new robotic platforms prior to commercial launch. Collaborate with engineering in defining installation, maintenance and troubleshooting procedures for robotic arms, navigation systems, and imaging integrations. Develop digital troubleshooting guides, assisted repair flows, and remote support capabilities for urgent intraoperative issues. Capture Voice of Field Service Engineer and support agents to inform service design—prioritizing speed, clarity, and confidence. Collaborate with Training to create competency-based learning paths for technicians servicing robotic systems in OR environments. Ensure all service processes meet FDA 21 CFR Part 820, ISO 13485, and IEC 60601 standards for medical electrical equipment. Supportpost-market surveillance and feed reliability insights into product and service roadmaps.
