OtoNexus Medical Technologies has secured the fourth position in the Micro Companies category of the Puget Sound Business Journal’s Washington’s Best Workplaces for 2025. This accolade recognizes 100 employers across the state, evaluated through confidential employee surveys that gauge factors such as engagement, leadership, benefits, flexibility, and workplace practices.
Caitlin Cameron, Chair and CEO of OtoNexus, expressed her appreciation for the recognition, stating, “We value this recognition because it comes directly from our team. Our goal is simple: create an environment where people can do meaningful work, collaborate well, and grow. This recognition affirms that we’re on the right path.”
Fostering Innovation Through Culture
In the highly regulated MedTech sector, establishing a positive team culture is essential for performance. OtoNexus emphasizes setting clear objectives and providing prompt feedback, which enables teams to share information and make informed decisions. This supportive approach not only fosters innovation but also mitigates risks associated with verification, validation, and FDA approval processes.
Cameron further elaborated, stating, “A healthy culture isn’t just a perk—it’s how we drive innovation and efficient execution to deliver needed technology to patients and clinicians.”
OtoNexus has developed a groundbreaking medical device that employs miniaturized through-air ultrasound technology. This device allows physicians to assess middle ear infections instantly and accurately, enabling them to determine the need for antibiotics within seconds. The innovation aims to improve patient outcomes, reduce unnecessary antibiotic use, and lower healthcare costs. This device is the first in a series of medical and non-medical applications utilizing OtoNexus’s patented technology.

Caitlin Cameron is open to discussing various topics pertinent to the MedTech industry. She aims to shed light on strategies for scaling operations without causing burnout, ensuring that focus, learning, and accountability are maintained as staff numbers and workloads increase. Furthermore, she will address how recognition impacts talent pipelines and the evolving expectations candidates have when considering employment.
