About Leo Cancer Care: 

One out of five people is afflicted with cancer during their lifetime. However, only 50% of those patients diagnosed for treatment can afford Radiation Therapy. This is primarily due to costs associated with the large size and complexity of current technology.

Current technology requires that the patient be positioned on a tabletop, typically prone (face up) or supine (face down), while a large ring (gantry) rotates around the patient during treatment. Many patients have reported that this type of Radiation Therapy makes them feel vulnerable and detached.

Leo Cancer Care was founded with one clear goal: to bring a more human way to treat cancer and to empower patients by introducing upright patient positioning to the Radiation Therapy community. We do what we do to find a better way. A better way to treat cancer and create a paradigm shift in radiation therapy. We will do this by improving accessibility to and quality of cancer care globally, making cancer treatment a more human experience for all.

We are looking for an enthusiastic individual to join our passionate team and help us revolutionize cancer treatment as a Manufacturing Test Technician. You can be part of a world-class team and help develop the treatments of tomorrow. Not only will you be driving change for the greater good, but you'll be working on products that span a large field of eclectic disciplines.
