CTO/ HEAD OF ENGINEERING (ROBOTIC ENDOSCOPY)

Location: Paris or Strasbourg, France, with the ability to commute 2 days per week to one or both cities

Commitment: Full-time

Start Date: June 2026

Package: Market-competitive salary for early-stage startups, plus performance bonus and milestone-based equity

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. This compact and intuitive electromechanical assistant enhances the performance of therapeutic endoscopic

procedures.

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 non-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 13485) 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 the 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 of bringing hardware-based medical devices from prototype to clinical or commercial launch.
Strong hands-on engineering ability (mechanical/electromechanical/AI).
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, imaging, and/or AI is a strong plus.

VP of Ops

Terra Nova•Berkeley

About Terranova Backed by leading deep tech VCs, Terranova builds intelligent robotic systems to terraform the Earth itself - lifting land, restoring wetlands, and protecting critical infrastructure from floods. Our mission is to preserve the built environment, create new habitats, and usher in an era of abundance. Our work supports climate resilience, disaster recovery, housing development, and defense across the United States and beyond. We’re assembling a world-class team that wants to work on something real, physical, and civilization-scale. If you want your work to reshape the world (literally), this is the place to do it. What to Expect We are looking for a COO or a VP Operations who can function as a true company operator: owning execution across engineering, field operations, manufacturing, recruiting, finance, customer delivery, and internal systems. This is a cofounder-level role at a very early company. This person will lead from the front, run an extremely tight operating cadence, and make sure the hundreds of things required to keep projects moving get done. The upside is meaningful equity, ownership, and the chance to help build one of the defining hard-tech companies of the next decade. Key Responsibilities ● Own company-wide execution across engineering, operations, deployments, hiring, finance, procurement, legal coordination, and customer delivery. ● Build and run the operating system of the company: weekly cadence, project plans, dashboards, accountability loops, and decision-making processes. ● Manage and motivate a high-intensity technical team while earning credibility with engineers, field operators, and founders. ● Drive field deployments from planning through completion, ensuring projects do not slip because of logistics, staffing, materials, permitting, vendors, or customer coordination. ● Work directly with the CEO to support fundraising, board communication, strategic planning, and company priorities. ● Support GTM and customer execution across PE firms, developers, infrastructure owners, government agencies, USACE, and other defense-adjacent customers. ● Recruit, evaluate, and help close exceptional talent across technical, operational, and commercial roles. ● Thrive at the pace and intensity of early-stage startup life, including long days, and field hours when needed. Requirements ● Exceptional operational judgment, intensity, and ownership. ● Experience leading strategy, operations, deployment, product, or company-building functions at a high-growth deep tech, robotics, aerospace, defense, infrastructure, or hardware startup. ● Ability to manage technical teams and make high-quality decisions around complex engineering and field operations, even without being the deepest technical expert in the room. ● Strong comfort with customers, investors, board members, vendors, and government / defense stakeholders. ● Willingness to work on-site in Berkeley, CA. ● U.S. work authorization. We cannot sponsor H-1B visas at this time. Preferred Skills & Experience ● Prior experience as a VP / Director / Head of Strategy or Operations at a deep tech company. ● Prior experience as a COO, CPO, CTO, VP Ops, or GM experience at a Series B or later hardware startup. ● Experience deploying products that are hard to sell and hard to build. ● Founder or founder-level operating experience. Important to have seen 0->1. ● Strong finance, strategic planning, and fundraising fluency. Ideal Archetype ● A high-aptitude operator 3-15 years into their career who has already scaled unusually fast. They need to be the smartest person at our company. Wicked, cunning, fluent in the dark arts, blurry in pictures. ● Someone who could plausibly be a founder, but who chooses our rocket ship over starting from zero. ● Has built or run something real in robotics, aerospace, defense, infrastructure, construction tech, or complex hardware. ● Can walk into a messy early-stage company, create order, raise the bar, and make everyone more intense and effective. ● Has enough technical taste to manage engineers, enough commercial judgment to help sell, and enough operational force to keep the whole machine moving. ● Comes from a flagship deep tech company, an Elon-founded company, or a serious venture-backed hardware company. We are optimizing for aptitude, intensity, and company pedigree over title.
