CloudCath agrees with Stanford's employer recruiting guidelines.

Role: Embedded Firmware Engineer

Location: San Francisco, CA

Type: Full-Time

Reports To: Principal Embedded Firmware Engineer

About Us:

CloudCath is a 15 person, fast paced, medical device startup, redefining infectious disease remote monitoring for catheter-based treatments.

Our initial focus is end stage renal disease patients that are on peritoneal dialysis. These patients rely on implantable catheters to insert/drain fluid from their bodies in non-clinical settings on a regular basis. Living with and managing this catheter in an outpatient setting without continuous medical supervision can result in multiple complications, including infection.

Existing standard of care relies on patients’ compliance with patient dependent non-data driven infection monitoring methods such as the “newspaper test”. Our system, which comprises a device connected to a cloud based monitoring system, enables physicians to remotely detect the early signs of infection.

Early detection of infections allows for earlier treatments, keeping patients out of the hospital and living their lives.
