Who We Are

Noah Medical is building the future of medical robotics. Our next generation robotic platform targets early diagnosis and treatment of patients across multiple indications. We are looking for exceptional engineers and key team members. Our incredibly talented team of engineers, innovators, and industry leaders bring years of experience from the top healthcare companies in the world, including: Intuitive, Auris, Stryker, Johnson & Johnson, Boston Scientific, Verb Surgical, Mako, Think Surgical, Medrobotics, and Hansen. We are looking for talented, motivated and ambitious team members to revolutionize robotic surgery.

About The Team:

Noah’s Instruments and Accessories (I&A) Team is responsible for the development of endoluminal instruments and accessories that are safe, effective and on-time. We are a dynamic, data-driven team and pride ourselves on our creative and collaborative approach to problem solving.  We continuously strive for win-win solutions that our customers love. 

Noah Medical I&A team members have the traditional role of design and prototyping but also take the lead on design requirements, specifications, design risk assessment, test methods, verification testing and more. I&A also plays a critical cross functional role in support through production and even post-market performance assessments. 

We are looking for curious, collaborative, energetic problem solvers who enjoy a challenge. We welcome diverse thinkers and value both experience and fresh ideas.

A Day In The Life Of Our Staff Mechanical Engineer:

• Serve as technical lead on a variety of I&A initiatives focused on improving the efficacy and efficiency of endoscopic procedures
• Collaborate closely with clinical engineering and product marketing to define user and product requirements and establish acceptance criteria
• Lead the development of specifications, test methods, and protocols to ensure the functionality, safety, and efficacy of medical devices in accordance with medical device regulations
• Lead assessments and make recommendations for solving challenging design problems from the component to the system level via inspection, testing, analysis, and experimentation
• Participate and influence in the design of intricate mechanisms, mechanical assemblies, and components used in disposable medical devices
• Create and maintain design documentation including CAD models, detailed drawings, manufacturing instructions and theoretical models
• Exercise DFM (design for manufacturability) principles to enable cost-effective manufacture of the components and simplify assembly of the device.
• Prepare and lead technical, concept and design reviews for components, subsystems, and systems
• Work collaboratively and efficiently in a fast-paced start-up environment with minimal supervision and guidance
• Generate and document novel ideas that strengthen the company’s IP position in the fields of surgical robotics and minimally invasive surgery
