Test Engineer, Microfabrication
Precision Neuroscience is pioneering a brain implant, known as a brain-computer interface (BCI), to restore communication and independence for people with neurological conditions. Our cutting-edge technology is designed to empower people with paralysis to control digital devices—such as computers and smartphones—with their thoughts alone, opening new possibilities for daily life.
Precision’s multidisciplinary team brings together leading experts in diverse fields such as neurosurgery, artificial intelligence, machine learning, microfabrication, electrical engineering, and more. We are committed to turning breakthrough scientific advancements into real-world solutions for people affected by conditions such as spinal cord injury, stroke, and ALS.
As a Precision employee, you will be joining one of the fastest moving and best-capitalized companies in the emerging field of BCI. Since our founding in 2021, Precision has secured over $155 million in funding, developed and validated our technology, and initiated human trials in collaboration with some of the nation’s top hospitals.
We are seeking a Test Engineer to design and implement electrochemical and other test systems for key components of our implantable devices.
In this role you will play a key part in proving out the reliability and performance of our BCI technology, leveraging materials expertise to identify and measure fundamental properties of components and interfaces in our highly complex system.
This position will be based in our Santa Clara office. We are unable to consider remote workers or people not currently based in the United State with working rights.
