Senior Technical Business Analyst - Robotics

Robots already work at Mayo Clinic, cleaning our floors, moving millions of laboratory specimens, and assisting in our operating rooms. Yet this is less than one percent of what is possible. Over the next decade, robotics will advance from sensor-driven, single-purpose machines to AI-driven autonomous systems, including generalist and humanoid robots, and Mayo Clinic intends to lead across that entire continuum, from the operating room to the loading dock. The Mayo Clinic Robotics Program exists to pioneer human-centered robotics that expands access and creates an empowered, safe, more personalized, and convenient experience for patients and staff, cementing Mayo Clinic as the global leader in healthcare while freeing our people for the human work of healing. Within this program, the Senior Technical Business Analyst - Robotics does the groundwork that makes robotics succeed. Before a robot can free a nurse from a supply run or a technician from a repetitive task, someone must understand exactly how that work happens today. This analyst is that someone: observing and mapping clinical and operational workflows, translating requirements between the people who do the work and the engineers who will automate parts of it, building the cost and value analyses that determine whether automation is worth it, and documenting the playbooks that carry each effort's learning forward. Robotics requirements must capture the physical world, the operational tempo of hospitals and laboratories, and the human workflows a robot joins, and this analyst makes those realities explicit.

Able to perform cost, benefit and risk analysis associated with the proposed product/services and recommend alternatives for solutions throughout the product life cycle. Collaborates with stakeholders and users to synthesize, articulate, and document business and system requirements. Performs data analysis, defines, and documents business requirements, translates business requirements to technical/engineering specifications, acceptance criteria, user experience requirements and system validation while considering the complete technical and non-technical solution. Technical specifications are utilized by Engineering/IT in the final technical design and eventual product build/acquisition or integration. May assist product and operations leaders to coordinate deployment of deliverables (varies by product). Provides input for development of other product documents, project charters and plans, work assignments, deliverable target dates, and other aspects of assigned work.
