Capstan Medical Tech Stack
Surgical robotics platform for minimally invasive heart valve repair and replacement
Capstan Medical develops robotic systems that combine surgical robotics, catheter technology, and implants for structural heart disease treatment. The tech stack reveals a hardware-first, control-systems-heavy organization: embedded systems (STM32, ARM Cortex-M4, FreeRTOS), motor control (next-generation motor drives in active development), simulation (MATLAB, Simulink, ROS), and ML inference (PyTorch, TensorFlow) layered on top of mechanical CAD (SolidWorks, AutoCAD). Active hiring across engineering, research, and manufacturing—with senior and principal-level roles—indicates scaling of both the robotic platform itself and clinical validation infrastructure.
