About the role
At Capstan Medical, we’re building one of the most exciting and innovative companies in medtech—developing a first-of-its-kind robotic platform for minimally invasive heart valve treatment. Our team combines surgical robotics, catheter-based delivery, and next-generation implants to transform complex procedures into safer, lower-stress solutions for patients and clinicians alike. As a highly collaborative, hands-on team, we move fast, wear multiple hats, and believe the best ideas can come from anyone.
What they're looking for
- Experience with PCBA design, test, and debug of complex boards with tight heat/power budgets and real time communication protocols
- Experience with component selection (including cable and connector selection) and designing for high reliability
- Ability to troubleshoot electro-mechanical systems and PCBAs
- Experience designing and testing to IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-2 requirements
- Experience with using schematic and layout software (Altium preferred) for creating detailed printed circuit board designs and drawings for manufacturing
- Hands-on experience with lab equipment (oscilloscopes, multimeters, signal analyzer)
