POSITION PURPOSE

Help save and prolong lives and make a real difference! This unique opportunity encompasses the integration of brain surgery, robotics, and lasers. Work with an exceptional world-class software team developing the most advanced neurosurgical tools. Apply the processes that deliver FDA and Health Canada regulated safety-critical software using Agile methodologies. Apply your software development skills to enhance and develop our best-in-class software that meets our neurosurgeon customer’s needs.

WHO WE ARE

Monteris Medical is focused on providing innovative MRI-guided neurosurgical ablation tools and solutions for neurosurgeons. By combining the imaging power of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), advanced navigation software and Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy (LITT), Monteris Medical has created a system to reach virtually any area of the brain.

The NeuroBlate® System applies focused laser energy to ablate brain tumors and epileptic foci from the inside, with little or no effect on surrounding healthy tissue. NeuroBlate provides clinicians a new neurosurgical tool that offers real-time control and visualization of the therapy during laser ablation treatment. The NeuroBlate procedure is currently one of the only laser ablation neurosurgical procedures done in an active MRI magnet.

Monteris Medical is a privately owned neurosurgical company focused solely on diseases of the brain. This opportunity is remote or based in our Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada office.
