About the Company

AIDO is an early stage medical robotics venture on a mission to transform the fight against cancer through innovation in robotic endoscopy. Originating from the world renowned IHU Strasbourg, the company is developing a novel robotic "third hand" add on for flexible endoscopes, a compact and intuitive electromechanical assistant that enhances how therapeutic endoscopic procedures are performed.

AIDO's proprietary technology improves ergonomics, stability, and instrument control, reducing the physical strain and coordination burden typically placed on endoscopists. By making complex therapeutic procedures easier, more reproducible, and more comfortable to perform, AIDO enables physicians to treat cancers and pre cancerous lesions endoscopically rather than surgically, supporting earlier and minimally invasive intervention for patients.

Validated by more than 60 clinicians, AIDO is now entering a pivotal phase, industrializing its prototype into a clinical grade medical device, advancing regulatory pathways, and shaping future AI enabled capabilities.

 
The Role

AIDO is seeking a hands-on CTO / Head of Engineering who can lead product development end to end, establish the engineering foundation of the company, and drive the technical roadmap as it enters a new phase of growth.

This role combines strategic influence with deep technical execution. The successful candidate will work closely with suppliers, clinicians, and the CEO to bring a safe, intuitive, and robust device to market.

 
Key Responsibilities
  • Lead the design, development, and validation of the electromechanical endoscopy-assist device.

  • Translate physician feedback into ergonomic, intuitive product improvements.

  • Build and implement the QMS (ISO and guide EU/US regulatory strategy.

  • Manage and challenge external suppliers while building internal engineering know-how.

  • Drive the V&V plan for CE (Class I initial version) and future 510(k) pathways.

  • Strengthen the company's IP position and contribute to technology strategy.

  • Support upcoming fundraising with technical expertise.

  • Build and lead AIDO's engineering team over time.

Profile Requirements
  • 10 years of experience (approx.) in medical devices, robotics, or electromechanical systems.

  • Track record bringing hardware-based medical devices from prototype to clinical or commercial launch.

  • Strong hands-on engineering ability (mechanical/electromechanical).

  • Solid understanding of ISO 13485, CE marking, V&V, and ideally 510(k) processes.

  • Sensitivity to usability and clinical workflow constraints.

  • Comfortable working in early-stage environments with high ownership and autonomy.

  • Excellent communication with clinicians, engineers, and investors.

  • Experience in endoscopy, surgical robotics, or imaging is a strong plus.
