Calyxo, Inc. is a medical device company headquartered in Pleasanton, California, USA. The company was founded in 2016 to address the profound need for improved kidney stone treatment. Kidney stone disease is a common, painful condition that consumes vast amounts of healthcare resources each year. Our team is led by executives and investors with a proven track record of commercializing paradigm-shifting devices to meet unmet needs within urology. Are you ready to change the future of kidney stone treatment? We are seeking high achievers who want to be part of a dynamic team working in a fun, diverse atmosphere. Summary: Calyxo is seeking a highly skilled and innovative Sr. Systems Integration and Test Engineer. In this role, you will independently design and build advanced R&D test fixtures, architect and execute verification strategies, and drive system-level integration testing for a next-generation kidney-stone treatments. This is a deeply hands-on, cross-functional role that blends mechanical, electrical, firmware, clinical, and system-level engineering. You will work directly with design teams, clinical engineering, and system architects to define, measure, and validate performance in both benchtop test fixtures and simulated clinical use environments. Your work will directly shape system requirements, test methods, and performance metrics — and ultimately impact clinical outcomes in the kidney stone space.
