Cardiovascular disease is the #1 cause of morbidity and mortality in the world. Much of this could be prevented with better access to specialist care. Take stroke as an example: any delay in treatment can lead to permanent disability or death. However, due to a lack of specialist surgeons, the most effective intervention can only be performed in 2% of US hospitals. For patients who present to one of the 98% of hospitals that do not offer the surgery, treatment is either significantly delayed or not offered at all because timely transfer is not feasible.
Our mission is to bring state-of-the-art vascular intervention to anyone, anytime, regardless of their location. Our team of medical clinicians, roboticists, and machine learning experts are working to bridge this gap by building the world’s first remotely-operated, semi-autonomous endovascular surgical robot.
We’ve already done what nobody else could—using our system, doctors from around the world were able to remotely perform this procedure from as far as 8,000 miles away. We now need your help to bring this technology out of the laboratory and into hospitals everywhere.
We’re looking for a motivated, senior mechanical engineer to design key components of a novel, life saving surgical robot.
Design mechanisms for a surgical robot and surgical tools.
Participate in the entire design cycle, including the development of conceptual and detailed designs for prototypes, pilot machines, and production machines.
Generate specifications, component drawings, assembly drawings, and interface control documents.
Participate in subsystem level testing including the development and execution of testing plans as well as data collection and analysis.
Leverage experience and engineering judgement to rapidly design and produce proof of concept hardware for fast-moving research and development projects.
5+ years of industry experience.
Recent experience designing electromechanical mechanisms.
Strong mechanical design, integration and mechanism analysis skills using 3D modeling (e.g., SolidWorks, OnShape)
Ability to work with hand tools and prototyping equipment.
The ability to communicate complex ideas clearly and concisely.
