Robotic catheter-based system for mitral heart valve replacement
Capstan Medical builds a surgical robotics platform paired with catheter-delivered heart valve implants. The stack pairs embedded control (STM32, FreeRTOS, EtherCAT, ROS 2) with regulated requirements tooling (Jama Connect, IBM DOORS, Polarion), and hiring splits almost evenly between engineering and manufacturing, pointing to a company moving new mitral implant sizes from design transfer into scaled production.
Capstan Medical is a privately held medical device company headquartered in Santa Cruz, California, with 51–200 employees. It develops a structural heart therapy that combines surgical robotics, catheter-based delivery and implantable valves for repairing and replacing heart valves. Work spans robotic control software, embedded hardware, implant manufacturing and quality systems. Hiring is concentrated in the United States across engineering, manufacturing, operations and clinical functions.
Capstan Medical uses C++, Python, Rust, ROS 2, EtherCAT, STM32 with FreeRTOS, SolidWorks, Altium Designer, MATLAB, PyTorch, and requirements tools like Jama Connect, IBM DOORS and Polarion.
Current work includes productizing new mitral valve implant sizes, catheter control and path planning for its robotic platform, hardware-in-the-loop testing, and packaging validation.
Yes. Hiring is accelerating, led by engineering and manufacturing roles skewed toward senior levels, all based in the United States, with headquarters in Santa Cruz, CA.
