About the job

We are seeking a Junior Mechanical Engineer to assist with the design and development of specialized surgical tooling that will be used in the implantation of our brain-computer interface (BCI).

This is an extraordinary opportunity for accelerated learning and career growth. Your work will see commercialization quickly so that we improve the lives of patients who live with neurological disorders in a matter of months and years, not decades.

This position will be on-site at our office in Manhattan. We are unable to consider remote workers. You must be physically present in the USA to apply for this role.

Responsibilities

• Research and source existing microsurgical tooling and methods.

• Complete hands-on assembly, inspection and testing tasks while ensuring rigorous quality control is being enforced.
• Integrate manufacturing improvements, and ensure our surgical equipment is held at the highest standard of quality and safety for our patients.
• Collaborate with our highly accomplished team across the domains of hardware, software, data collection and analysis and V & V.
• Participate in detailed, collaborative discussions about the impact of your work on the overall BCI design. Such discussions are driven by the excellent, substantial feedback loop generated by our rigorous experiment schedule.
• Collaborate with the rest of our team to publish and present our work.
