Assembler - Arbutus Medical

Arbutus Medical is a rapidly growing medical device venture developing a portfolio of procedure kits to  streamline surgery “outside the OR”, starting with orthopaedic trauma procedures in the ER.

We are a growing 16-person team seeking an Assembler I to support the hands-on production of our FDA-cleared medical devices, helping ensure that every product we ship meets the highest standards of quality, safety, and reliability.

What We Offer

• Commitment to being a living wage employer (budgeted base salary of $54,500)
• An exciting opportunity to get in at the ground floor of a growing venture
• Extended health benefits
• Professional development funding
• A purpose-driven workplace with passionate teammates who want to help patients and make a positive difference in the world

Detailed Role Description

As an Assembler I, you are a core member of Arbutus Medical’s production team, responsible for assembling and preparing medical procedure kits that are used directly in patient care. Your work ensures that surgeons, nurses, and emergency room staff receive reliable and precisely built products that help them deliver better care faster.

You will spend most of your time assembling components using hand tools, following written work instructions, and verifying that every part meets strict quality and fit specifications. You will also be trained to work within Arbutus’ quality system, documenting your work and ensuring all production records are accurate and complete. You will report to the Production Supervisor and work closely with a small, highly engaged production team that values accuracy, accountability, and continuous improvement.

Success in this role means becoming a dependable, detail-oriented assembler who can independently build products to specification, maintain clean and organized workspaces, and contribute ideas that improve safety, efficiency, and product quality over time.

Why this role, and why now?

Arbutus Medical is reinventing how surgery is done Outside the OR™,  starting within the ER, where surgeons struggle with 1M+ bedside procedures a year due to outdated workflows. We’re building the market’s first portfolio of procedure kit “grab bags” to streamline these procedures, and have launched two FDA-cleared products to date, TrakPak® (to streamline bedside skeletal traction) and SwiftKit™ (to streamline treatment of fingertip trauma). These are two truly differentiated products that solve practical workflow problems, saving up to 45 min / patient, helping hospitals win back resources and keep staff happy, while improving quality of patient care. We are already in 75+ U.S. hospitals (including more than 20% of all Level 1 Trauma Centers), have a high double-digit growth rate, and are backed by a deep roster of Canadian healthtech investors. Entering 2026, we are ready to accelerate product development and scale up US sales and medical education to set a new standard of care in our target procedures.

Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Arbutus Medical is committed to making diversity, equity, and inclusion part of everything we do, from how we build our products to how we build our workforce. If this resonates with you, please apply – even if you don’t feel like you “check all the boxes.” Also, let us know if we can provide any specific accessibility considerations throughout the interview and candidate screening process.
