Job Description

TITLE : Manufacturing Engineering Technician

COMPANY SUMMARY : Imagine a world where you could bring the precision and control of surgery to catheter-based therapies.

For decades, endovascular procedures have been constrained by the technological limitations of catheters that lose stability and control within the anatomy. We have created a new class of therapies to overcome these constraints by using Endoportal Control to mimic the precision and control of direct surgical access, while maintaining the minimally invasive profile of an endovascular intervention. Our vision is big, spanning the breadth of cardiovascular disease where we see compelling opportunities to reimagine therapies for millions of patients.

Jupiter Endovascular is a medical technology startup located in the San Francisco Bay Area, led by a team of successful medical device entrepreneurs. We have big ambitions, with a culture built on innovation, teamwork, and speed. We have raised capital from a diversified investor base, including venture capital, private equity, and corporate strategic investors.

POSITION SUMMARY : As a Manufacturing Engineering Technician, you'll be a pivotal member of the manufacturing team, supporting production of innovative medical devices for the treatment of cardiovascular disease. Reporting to the Manufacturing Engineering Manager, the Manufacturing Engineering Technician plays a critical role in maximizing production uptime by maintaining, troubleshooting and monitoring production processes, equipment, fixtures, and tooling used in the manufacturing and assembly of finished medical devices. The role will be responsible for all site equipment used in production and new product development, including laboratory equipment. This role partners closely with manufacturing engineers, quality, operations, and production personnel to ensure production safety, quality, reliability, and efficiency goals are met. The role will also support continuous process improvement, process development, process validation, process transfer and other new product introduction activities. We're seeking a passionate, high-energy professional who thrives in a medical device startup environment and can deliver on the responsibilities below.

This is an in-office role.
