Understanding PROCEPT's Culture
At PROCEPT, we believe every person matters. Every employee, every patient, every caregiver. Because we are here to create a revolution, and we believe in doing that by innovating everywhere with pathological optimism. We believe in being humble and highly engaged in the work we do, while also working together seamlessly for a common goal. At Procept, curiosity, ingenuity and conviction in the power technology will transform the lives of our patients and providers.
And this doesn't happen by accident. It starts with our live induction program that serves as an incubator for cross-functional team building, an immersion in Procept's history, jam-packed interactive sessions with executive leadership and a crash-course in the mission and purpose of what we do. It continues with our one-of-a-kind management program designed to build the best managers in the industry, where our people managers across functions come together to exchange ideas and grow, as both managers and learners, in an environment that challenges, supports and broadens.
We are fueled by the opportunity to give people their lives back. And we believe that it begins with YOU! At Procept, we push beyond just finding a work/life balance, we strive to find a work/life blend, a professional world that you are honored and impassioned to belong to, one that you can proudly share with your family, friends, and acquaintances.
An opportunity at PROCEPT BioRobotics won't just be about finding a job. It will be an opportunity for you to join a community devoted to making a difference in this world!
The Opportunity That Awaits You
We could tell you this is the opportunity of a lifetime to put your engineering skills to work improving the health and quality of life of dads, uncles, grandfathers, and countless others. But then we'd have far too many applicants!
Instead, we are looking for just the right seasoned electrical engineer to join our talented and highly collaborative team, and that might be you.
You are skilled in analog design and power electronics, enjoy getting your hands on PCBAs in the lab, and are equally comfortable improving an existing design or developing something from scratch. You thrive on technical challenges and have excellent attention to detail.
You're just as comfortable presenting a schematic and layout review to a cross functional group as you are developing new error codes with your firmware neighbor, reviewing in-circuit test limits for a PCBA, or running a temperature study. You understand that documentation and processes come with the territory in a highly regulated medical device environment.
You are the one others turn to for technical guidance, whether it's making tough design decisions, mentoring a fellow engineer, or helping the team through a challenging problem.
And the best part? While you are solving interesting engineering problems alongside a great team, your work can make a real difference in people's lives!
