Manufacturing Engineer

About the CompanyZap Surgical Systems is a surgical robotics start-up located in San Carlos, CA. ZAP designs and manufactures the ZAP-X Gyroscopic Radiosurgeryâ„¢ platform, the world's first and only vault-free, cobalt-free radiosurgery system.Leveraging first-in-kind gyroscopic mobility, the ZAP-X precisely directs radiation beams from hundreds of unique positions to non-invasively destroy brain tumors. The result: a highly effective, painless, and non-invasive alternative to surgery.Today, more than 2 million patients are potential candidates for radiosurgery, yet only 150,000 receive this potentially life-saving treatment.
