Hello! My name is Liz (short for Lizmarie). I am a NPI Manufacturing Engineer at Intuitive working on the development of next generation instruments. My background is in Mechanical Engineering, in specific small-scale and low-powered MEMS sensors. I enjoy helping others and I’m passionate about working on projects that have a positive impact on society. In the last years, I have worked on developing innovative and smart medical devices and sensors. 

​

I’m originally from Puerto Rico, the island of enchantment or Isla del Encanto! I have been motivated to work in robotics since participating in FIRST competitions in high school. In my college years, I had the opportunity to participate in summer internships at NASA and these experiences were instrumental to my formation as an engineer and shaped my interests. Then, I learned first-hand about the impact that an engineer’s work can have in society. I’m motivated by engineering roles that have the potential to make healthcare more accessible by reducing cost and time of treatment and recovery.  

​

In my spare time I love to travel to countries all over the world and try local cuisines. I also love reading, designing jewelry and working on DYI side projects.
