Vertically integrated surgical device manufacturer with in-house production and distribution
Applied Medical manufactures surgical devices across multiple specialties from two hub locations (California and Netherlands), operating a classic hardware stack (SolidWorks, CNC, CMMS, SCADA) alongside enterprise SAP infrastructure. Active adoption of LangChain, LangGraph, and SAP BTP signals early moves toward AI-assisted product development and cloud-native operations—unusual for a device maker traditionally reliant on physical manufacturing precision. The hiring profile skews sales-first (132 open roles vs. 57 engineering), consistent with a company scaling market access for newer product platforms like their transvaginal access system.
