- Maintain strict compliance with approved procedures, quality-system requirements, ESD controls, and safety practices.
- Consistently meet expectations for workmanship, quality, output, and schedule.
- Escalate issues appropriately and partner with Manufacturing Engineering and Quality to determine disposition and corrective actions.
- Provide practical feedback on product design, assembly sequence, tooling, test methods, and process risks.
- Assist with the design, evaluation, qualification, and maintenance of manufacturing fixtures, tools, and test equipment.

Desired Skills & Experience

- High School Diploma or equivalent required
- 5+ years of experience in manufacturing of complex electromechanical assemblies and medical devices.
- Excellent manual dexterity and workmanship, including experience with precision mechanical assembly, cable routing, PCBA handling, fasteners, adhesives, and controlled torque operations.
- Strong attention to detail and commitment to following controlled procedures.
- Experience completing production records accurately and contemporaneously.
- Ability to use common inspection and test equipment such as calipers, multimeters, microscopes, and electrical or functional test fixtures.
- Experience working in ESD sensitive environments
- Ability to lift up to 50lbs and assemble large mechanical equipment
- Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively with engineers, quality personnel, and operations leadership.
- Experience manufacturing FDA-regulated medical devices or other products in a highly regulated industry.

Position Logistics

- This position is required to be on-site at Mendaera HQ in San Mateo.

- Mendaera offers comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, as well as a 401k with a company match.

## About Mendaera, Inc.

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Mendaera is building a new category of handheld robotics to simplify and enhance ultrasound-guided needle procedures across healthcare.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series B)
- **Headquarters**: San Mateo, California, United States
- **Founded**: 2020
- **Founders**: Not publicly listed on the company site or LinkedIn (co-founder and CTO Jason Wilson is mentioned on LinkedIn)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Medical Equipment Manufacturing / Healthcare Robotics
- **Target customers**: B2B – hospitals, clinics, and healthcare providers performing ultrasound-guided needle procedures (biopsy, ablation, drainage, etc.)
- **Mission**: To bring breakthrough innovation to critical needle-based procedures so healthcare providers can do more with greater confidence for their patients.

## Products & Services
- **[Focalist™](https://www.mendaera.com/)**: Handheld robotic system designed for ultrasound-guided needle placement. Combines real-time imaging with handheld robotics to give clinicians precision and confidence. Received FDA 510(k) clearance in July 2025 and is preparing for a broad launch in 2026.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed (private company)
- **Key Metric**: Total funding of **$97.0M** (Seed in 2021, Series A of $24M in August 2023 led by Lux Capital, Series B of $73M in September 2024 led by Threshold Ventures). Annual revenue estimated at **$1.5M** (per LinkedIn).
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Lux Capital, Threshold Ventures, PFM Health Sciences, Founders Fund, Puma Venture Capital. Also partnered with EchoNous for image-guided intervention.
- **Growth Signals**: 66 employees (+40.7% YoY); 9,751 LinkedIn followers (+112.5% YoY); FDA clearance for first product; acquired Avail Medsystems (telepresence technology) in March 2024; named to Fierce Medtech’s Fierce 15 in 2025; included in Bessemer Venture Partners’ Top 50 startups transforming industries with physical AI.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Handheld form factor** – unlike larger, fixed robotic systems, Focalist is portable and designed for universal deployment across clinical settings.
- **Real-time imaging integration** – combines ultrasound guidance directly with robotic precision, reducing the learning curve for needle placement.
- **FDA clearance** already achieved, enabling commercial launch in 2026.
- **Strong investor backing** from top-tier healthcare and deep-tech VCs.
- **Acquisition of Avail Medsystems** adds telepresence capabilities for remote collaboration.

## Strategic Focus
- **Scale manufacturing and commercial launch** of the Focalist system in 2026.
- **Expand clinical applications** beyond the initial cleared indications (likely biopsy and other needle-based procedures).
- **Build out service and support infrastructure** (hiring Technical Service Lead in Tampa, FL).
- **Continue AI and robotics R&D** to enhance precision and ease of use.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Described as creative, collaborative, and passionate about making healthcare better. The company values problem-solving, pushing boundaries, and building new things.
- **Team**: Small but growing rapidly (66 people) with a mix of engineers, clinicians, and commercial talent. Many hires come from leading robotics and medtech companies (Intuitive, Auris, Noah Medical, Johnson & Johnson).
- **Work policy**: Likely hybrid/office-based given the hardware focus; HQ in San Mateo, CA and a service role in Tampa, FL. Open roles include Senior Clinical Engineer (San Mateo) and Technical Service Lead (Tampa).
- **Perks**: Not explicitly listed, but being an early-stage company with strong funding offers equity, impact, and the chance to shape a new product category.
