Job description

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. Based in Santa Cruz, our unique workspace blends cutting-edge Bay Area innovation with a lifestyle-driven environment near trails, beaches, and open space—creating the perfect place to do meaningful, career-defining work.

About the Role

We are seeking a Senior Manufacturing Engineer to play a critical role in scaling and sustaining production of Capstan accessories, including the Capital Controller and single-use devices. This role will also involve component engineering for the current generation Capstan Delivery System supporting component and supplier related issues.

This is a hands-on, startup-style role for an engineer who is comfortable operating in ambiguity, moving quickly, and owning problems end-to-end while maintaining rigor expected in a regulated medical device environment.
