Robotic surgical systems for prostate treatment via water-jet ablation
PROCEPT BioRobotics manufactures the HYDROS Robotic System, an AI-powered device delivering Aquablation therapy for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The company operates a sales-driven org (71 of 104 active roles) focused on surgeon onboarding, clinical adoption, and account penetration—a hiring mix that reflects the core bottleneck: converting installed systems into sustained procedural volume. Their tech stack (Snowflake, dbt, AWS, Python) is lean for a 501–1,000-person manufacturing firm, suggesting analytics and supply-chain operations run modestly in-house while engineering effort concentrates on the robotics platform itself.
Notable leadership hires: Regional Business Director, Capital Sales Director
PROCEPT BioRobotics is a public surgical-robotics company based in San Jose, California, founded in 2009. The company designs and manufactures robotic systems for urological procedures, with the HYDROS platform delivering Aquablation therapy—a water-jet ablation technique for treating BPH, a condition affecting approximately 40 million men in the United States. The approach is designed to deliver consistent outcomes independent of prostate size, shape, or surgeon experience. PROCEPT has published over 150 peer-reviewed studies on Aquablation outcomes. The HYDROS system is currently cleared for use in the United States; the company is actively expanding surgeon adoption and procedural utilization across installed accounts.
Primary focus: launching the HYDROS robotic system, surgeon training and onboarding, clinical adoption pathways, account penetration, and procedural volume growth. Secondary initiatives include territory planning, account retention, FDA compliance, and workflow optimization.
Core stack includes Snowflake (data warehouse), dbt (transformation), AWS (cloud infrastructure), Python and SQL (analytics/development), SolidWorks (CAD design), and QAD (ERP). Microsoft Office for enterprise operations.
