Staff Manufacturing Engineer

Menlo Park, CA

TITLE: Staff Manufacturing Engineer

COMPANY SUMMARY: Imagine a world where you could bring the precision and control of surgery to catheter-based therapies.

For decades, endovascular procedures have been constrained by the technological limitations of catheters that lose stability and control within the anatomy. We have created a new class of therapies to overcome these constraints by using Endoportal Control to mimic the precision and control of direct surgical access, while maintaining the minimally invasive profile of an endovascular intervention. Our vision is big, spanning the breadth of cardiovascular disease where we see compelling opportunities to reimagine therapies for millions of patients.

Jupiter Endovascular is a medical technology startup located in the San Francisco Bay Area, led by a team of successful medical device entrepreneurs. We have big ambitions, with a culture built on innovation, teamwork, and speed. We have raised capital from a diversified investor base, including venture capital, private equity, and corporate strategic investors.

We're seeking a passionate, high-energy professional who thrives in a medical device startup setting and can deliver on the responsibilities below. This is a career-defining role where you'll play a central part in revolutionizing catheter-based interventions, with ample opportunities for professional growth, leadership, and making a tangible difference in patient care worldwide.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
