Job description
Clinical Specialist, Joint Replacement-Stamford, Connecticut
As a Clinical Specialist at Stryker, you will help improve orthopedic surgeries around the world and play a direct role in our mission of making healthcare better. In this role, you will build deep clinical and technical expertise across both robotic (Mako SmartRobotics) and manual orthopedic procedures. You will support surgeons in the operating room by assisting with pre-operative planning, case preparation, system setup, and real-time procedural workflows to ensure safe, accurate, and efficient outcomes.
You will gain hands-on experience working with Mako technology—including CT-based planning, implant sizing, registration, and intra-operative support—while also developing strong competency in manual procedures, instrumentation, and OR protocols. Through shadowing experienced team members, supporting product demonstrations, and participating in labs and education programs, you will learn the systems, processes, and best practices that define world-class clinical support.
This role requires adaptability, steady composure, and strong problem-solving in a fast-paced surgical environment.
