Manufacturing Assembler II

Title: Manufacturing Assembler II

Company Summary: Join a team that's redefining what's possible in cardiovascular treatment. At Jupiter Endovascular, we're revolutionizing catheter-based therapies by bringing the precision and control of surgery to minimally invasive procedures. For decades, catheters have remained largely unchanged—rigid, unstable, and difficult to maneuver through the body's winding anatomy. We've developed a transforming fixation technology that navigates flexibly through the vascular system, then locks into place to deliver treatment with surgical-like stability and control.

Our device solves one of the longest-standing challenges in endovascular procedures, empowering physicians and improving outcomes for millions of patients living with cardiovascular disease. We're entering an exciting new phase—scaling up production, expanding our team, and preparing for commercial launch.

Founded and headquartered in Menlo Park, California, Jupiter Endovascular is led by a proven team of medical device entrepreneurs and backed by top-tier investors across venture capital, private equity, and strategic partners. We've built a fast-paced, collaborative culture grounded in innovation, teamwork, and purpose. Every role at Jupiter directly contributes to our mission: saving lives by advancing the future of endovascular therapy.

Position Overview: The Manufacturing Assembler is a key contributor to the Vertex PE System manufacturing team, responsible for assembling complex, high-quality catheter-based medical devices within a regulated cleanroom environment. This role requires advanced technical assembly expertise, a strong understanding of medical device manufacturing standards, and an unwavering commitment to quality, compliance, and patient safety.

This position will support daily production by operating precision tools and equipment, adhering to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), and ensuring all work meets regulatory and quality system requirements. This role offers a meaningful opportunity to directly impact patient outcomes by improving manufacturing efficiency, strengthening product quality, and promoting a culture of continuous improvement and workplace safety.

The ideal candidate brings hands-on experience with advanced catheter manufacturing processes, including coil winding and/or braiding, hydrophilic coating, lamination and adhesive bonding. Success in this role requires the ability to perform reliably in a fast-paced, start-up manufacturing environment, with the flexibility to cross-train across multiple processes as production needs evolve. Strong collaboration skills are also essential.

This is an in-office role.

Responsibilities

• Precisely assemble catheters and other medical devices following detailed work instructions and established quality standards.
• Perform intricate assembly tasks using various hand tools, microscopes, and specialized equipment (such as bonding, sealing, and lamination tools).
• Perform in-process inspections and functional testing to guarantee components and finished products comply with all specifications.
• Accurately document inspection results, lot traceability, and production data according to company SOPs and regulatory requirements.
• Actively participate in productivity, process, and quality improvement activities.
• Collaborate with engineering and quality teams to suggest and implement enhancements to assembly procedures and equipment.
• Support validation processes for new assembly methods and tooling.
• Diagnose and resolve minor assembly and equipment issues to minimize downtime.
• Work closely with other manufacturing assemblers to achieve team quality and productivity targets.
• Partner with engineering to ensure all equipment and tools are correctly maintained, calibrated, and fit for use.

Qualifications

• High school diploma or equivalent required
• Proven experience, typically, 2+ years in medical device assembly required, preferably with catheter manufacturing.
• Strong understanding of GMP, FDA, and ISO regulations in a medical device manufacturing environment. Adherence to strict hygiene and gowning protocols is required.
• Ability to read and interpret assembly drawings, work instructions, and technical manuals.
• Exceptional manual dexterity and ability to operate small hand tools, measurement devices, computer equipment, to include working with small components under a microscope.

Additional Requirements

• Overtime and weekend work may be required depending on production needs.
• The role may involve exposure to chemicals used in the manufacturing process.
• Ability to perform repetitive tasks with hands and fingers.
• Able to lift, carry, push and pull items up
