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 Principal Technical Business Analyst - Robotics leads the analysis discipline that keeps enterprise robotics rigorous and ensures Mayo never automates an inefficient process. Analysts here do the foundational work of every robotics effort: observing and mapping how work actually happens on the floor, translating between frontline staff and robotics engineers, quantifying the true costs and benefits of automation, and capturing what each effort learns as reusable workflows, metrics, and playbooks. The Principal drives these practices across the program, personally takes on the most complex and ambiguous analyses, develops the analyst capability through mentorship, and ensures that requirements written for robots reflect the physical and human realities of the environments they join.
