Senior Field Clinical Specialist

Overview

Occam Labs is an engineering incubator targeting early-stage medical device design. We focus on cultivating cutting edge technology centered on patient value. Our team is highly collaborative and hands-on, takes pride in iterating quickly, and believes that the best ideas can come from anywhere or any person. Occam Labs is uniquely positioned in Santa Cruz, chosen to be geographically close-to but intentionally separate from the greater SF Bay Area.

Our office is in a repurposed warehouse space near bicycle trails, hills, and beaches. Our active programs target catheter-based, repair devices for diseases that affect the heart, offering minimally invasive alternatives to traditional surgical methods. The team has a background in cardiac devices, catheter-based devices, collapsible implants, surgical tools and robotic systems.
