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 8000 miles away. We now need your help to bring this technology out of the laboratory and into hospitals everywhere.
You'll own the path from finished design to manufacturable product across both Remedy's single-use disposables and the surgical robot itself. You'll qualify suppliers, run design transfer, validate processes, and build the manufacturing records needed for our IDE submission and beyond. This is a hands-on role with growing scope — you'll personally write the early SOPs and validation protocols, then grow a team as the product matures.
Own design transfer for the disposable accessories — injection molding, assembly, packaging, and sterilization
Own design transfer for the surgical robot — supplier qualification, assembly process design, test fixturing
Run process validation (IQ/OQ/PQ) and build the manufacturing records required under ISO 13485
Qualify and manage relationships with contract manufacturers, molders, and component suppliers
Drive DFM/DFA feedback into engineering early, before designs lock
Define and track manufacturing KPIs: yield, cost, lead time, defect rates
Author the manufacturing sections of the IDE submission
Build a small manufacturing/operations team as volume scales
8+ years of hands-on manufacturing engineering or operations leadership in medical devices
Direct experience taking a Class II or III device from R&D through production
Fluency with design transfer, process validation (IQ/OQ/PQ), and ISO 13485 manufacturing records
Experience managing contract manufacturers and component suppliers at a startup scale
Comfort being hands-on now and building a team later
Strong communication with engineering — you give early, useful DFM feedback rather than reviewing finished designs
BS or MS in mechanical engineering, manufacturing engineering, or related field
Disposable medical device experience — injection molding, sterile packaging (ISO 11607), EO or gamma sterilization validation
Catheter or guidewire assembly process experience
Electromechanical/capital equipment manufacturing experience
Prior FDA inspection or audit experience
Lean or Six Sigma background applied to small-volume, high-mix production
Remedy Robotics exists to bring flawless, immediate, endovascular intervention (EI)—treatment for stroke, heart attack, bleeding, aneurysmal disease, pulmonary embolism and more— to every patient worldwide. Remedy is the only company in the world to have performed:
- Completely robotic neurointerventional procedures in humans from start to finish.
- Completely remote robotic neurointerventional procedures in humans from from start to finish.
- Autonomous endovascular navigation.
A few key principles underlie our work. We strongly believe that:
- EI is optimizable. Tool movements should be deliberate and efficient. Procedures should be fast and effective. Complications should be avoided without exception.
- All patients at elite US institutions deserve access to flawless EI without delay. But so do all patients at smaller US community hospitals. And so do all patients in Kinshasa and Port Moresby and Alice Springs and anywhere in the world.
- The world's finest technology and technologists should focus on advancing our health and wellbeing. They belong at Remedy Robotics.
