Desired start date: March 2026

Location: San Carlos, CA. USA

We believe the future of the operating room lies in the hands of the empowered surgeon. They are bolstered with complete control, renewed confidence, and technology adaptable to any situation.

Our Maestro System delivers this empowerment, resulting in improved operating room efficiency and surgical care for patients - We are using tomorrow's technology to change surgery today.

Our blended French-American team is passionate about building this future. Together we are pushing the boundaries in a fast-paced yet focused and deliberate environment. We challenge ourselves often and celebrate our achievements. We believe that communication and planning are as important as execution.
