About Current Surgical Inc.
Current Surgical is a startup company developing technology on the frontier of engineering and biology. Our first product is a smart microinvasive needle that precisely destroys tumors without damaging healthy tissue, allowing doctors to treat cancers that are untreatable today.
Our technology is backed by the National Institute of Health, National Science Foundation, and top tier venture capital firms (True Ventures, 1517, and SciFounders) interested in dramatically improving the accuracy and accessibility of surgery.
About you
We are looking for a mechanical engineer or biomedical engineer (with a mechanical engineering focus) who is excited to develop technology at the forefront of medical devices and precision surgery. You will work directly with the co-founders to design, develop, and test our clinical prototype. This is a difficult hands-on engineering challenge that integrates precision mechanics, novel electronics, microfluidics, and ultrasound physics.
The ideal candidate is someone who is a ‘maker’ at heart, interested in working at a startup, and eager to challenge their technical development. This is a unique opportunity, as one of the first employees, you will have the opportunity to work across many areas of a hardtech biomedical startup, including helping to design preclinical studies and interfacing with clinicians. We are expecting you to be a core team member supporting the mechanical development, which at this stage requires design, hands-on development, and experimental oversight and execution.
Educational background
BS or MS in mechanical or biomedical engineering or closely related fields (e.g. mechatronics, robotics).
1-3 years work experience preferred
Desired skills
Entrepreneurial, self-motivated, and independent; desire to grow into a leadership role
Basic experience with a range of fabrication approaches and their tradeoffs, with different materials (metal, polymers, ceramics, etc.)
Experience with CAD tools (e.g., Solidworks, Fusion 360) and ability to design complex mechanical parts and assemblies
Interest in biomedical research and conducting benchtop experiments that may include ex vivo tissue
Ability to carefully execute experiments and analyze data
Elementary data analysis experience with Matlab and/or Python
General knowledge of medical imaging is a plus

What We Do
Current Surgical is developing a software-enabled surgical platform that combines real-time ultrasound imaging, focused ultrasound energy delivery, and AI-driven control to enable precise, minimally invasive treatment. Initially focused on solid-tumor ablation, the company aims to expand into cardiac arrhythmias, chronic pain, hypertension, epilepsy, and other neural interventions, with a broader mission to reinvent surgery and improve precision, consistency, and patient outcomes.
