Medical device manufacturer for atrial fibrillation diagnosis and treatment
Kardium manufactures the Globe System, a medical device for atrial fibrillation care, with active commercial launch underway. The tech stack reveals a manufacturing-heavy operation — Rockwell Automation PLCs, MATLAB, SPC, FMEA, and Solidworks dominate alongside enterprise systems (Azure, Dynamics 365). The hiring mix (engineering + manufacturing + ops at 71 of 94 roles) and pain-point concentration (production downtime, manufacturing process improvement, cleanroom maintenance, inventory management) signal a company scaling production capacity while navigating regulatory submissions and quality systems for medical device software.
