Workplace Type: Hybrid, on-site in Santa Cruz an average of 4-days per week
Capstan Medical:Creating a new standard for minimally invasive structural heart treatment
Who we are:
At Capstan Medical, we're driven by an unwavering commitment to transforming the treatment of heart valve disease. By merging surgical robotics with catheter-based technology and next generation implants, we've pioneered a patient-optimized approach to repair and replace heart valves.
Our innovative technology offers a significantly less invasive alternative to traditional open-heart surgery while ensuring precise and reliable placement of the heart valve implant. With these advancements, we may be able to provide patients with a solution to their heart valve disease while significantly reducing recovery time and minimizing the risk of complications. With a dedicated team of heart valve device experts and robotics engineers, we are fully committed to developing a comprehensive and transformative solution that will positively impact the lives of individuals affected by this condition.
Capstan Medical is uniquely positioned in Santa Cruz. This gives us access to the amazing technical talent of the Bay Area, but in an environment that we feel is conducive to doing our best creative work. Our office is adjacent to large tracts of open space with bicycle trails straight from the office doors offering access to the hills and beaches of Wilder Ranch State Park for road/mountain bicycle riding, hiking, and surfing.
Come join us and become part of a team revolutionizing heart valve treatment!
The Opportunity:
We are building a novel medical robotic application, bringing together an exciting set of hardware and software into an elegant product. We are looking for someone who can take a mechanical system of the robot design from initial concept all the way to product.
What You'll Do:
Collaborate with Manufacturing and Clinical teams on designs, incorporating this input into quick and effective design iterations. Lead and set direction for system and subsystem architectures and mechanical design efforts while owning cross-functional mechanical deliverables and technical strategy
Participate in building and bringing up prototype robotic systems and support all things mechanical in their pre-clinical lab use.
Lead alignment of complex technical topics and hardware architecture across the Mechanical Engineering team and broadly across the R&D organization and Capstan.
Document and communicate learnings on design manufacturability and reliability to the broader hardware team, mentoring others in best practices and scalable design approaches
Document and communicate your work through design reviews and as appropriate released documents as part of the product development process
Identify gaps and pitch in as needed to ensure that the team meets their goals and objectives, driving alignment across teams when priorities conflict
Strengthen the team by providing leadership and mentorship on best practices and design strategies as they grow in their abilities to develop performant, scalable, and elegant designs. Be a valuable partner with feedback and collaboration in brainstorming and design reviews.
What You'll Need:
BS in Mechanical Engineering or related engineering discipline, or equivalent work experience
Expecting 12+ years of relevant experience (medical device experience preferred)
Comfort working with high levels of ambiguity and an ability to convert that into tangible outcomes
Experience with designing, manufacturing transfer, and shipping of medical device capital equipment or equivalent complexity systems
Deep expertise in areas particular to robotic system design: kinematics, mechanisms, bearings, gears, sensors, actuators.
Experience with medical device (or equivalent) development process, design control, design verification, and regulatory processes
Ability to work in a hybrid work environment, working onsite in Santa Cruz on average 4 days a week
Ways To Stand Out:
Experience with the full commercial lifecycle from concept through reacting to and addressing field issues with your designs.
Skills with Python or Matlab for data analysis, simulation, and interacting with robotic equipment.
Excessive nerdiness about manufacturing, mechanisms, robots, or any other adjacencies.
Leadership experience. While this role is as an individual contributor, it is a position of significant technical and thought leadership within the company.
Why Join Us:
We offer a fun, fast-paced, collaborative environment where you will be working on transformational technologies in the cardiac healthcare space.
We offer outstanding benefits with medical, dental, and vision covered at 100% for you and your family, as well as flex time off.
