The posting
There is no playbook for what we're building. Capstan is bringing a first-of-its-kind surgical robot to patients, and the way to build and test it at scale doesn't exist yet – you'll help invent it. This isn't maintaining tests for a mature product on a settled line. You'll join a newly formed team that works alongside R&D while the design is still evolving, defining from first principles how we prove a novel robot is ready for the patient, every single time.
In this role, you'll own the software and test systems that make that proof possible – from subassemblies through full system integration. Working at the interface of hardware and software, you'll partner with R&D to turn evolving design requirements into robust, validated manufacturing tests.
You'll architect and develop the hardware-in-the-loop systems that automate how we test, bring up the fixtures that run them, and make sure every test software change reaches the production line cleanly. You'll thrive here if you love getting your hands on real hardware, debugging across mechanical, electrical, and software boundaries, and letting data drive your decisions.
Key Responsibilities:
What you'll need:
• Be an early member of a newly formed team and help take a novel surgical robot from prototype to production – the systems you build will set the standard for how every future robot is tested • We offer a fun, fast-paced, collaborative environment where you will be working on transformational technologies in the cardiac healthcare space that can make a meaningful impact for patients • We offer outstanding benefits with medical, dental, and vision covered at 100% for you and your family, as well as flex time off • We thrive in our work-hard, play-hard environment. Bring your bike or running shoes if you'd like or just be ready to enjoy a fun office outing. We enjoy time inside the office and out!
