• Manage material selection, manufacturing process development, and quality assurance activities.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to evaluate the clinical, functional, and manufacturing implications of design choices.
• Stay abreast of technological advances in the field and leverage this knowledge to drive innovation.
• Create comprehensive technical documentation, including design specifications, manufacturing instructions, test plans, and reports.
• Ensure all designs and processes adhere to applicable regulatory standards.
• Work in both a laboratory and cleanroom environment

Requirements

Education and experience:

• Bachelor’s degree (ex. HES), Master’s degree or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, or a related field required.
• At least 2 years of hardware experience in the field of neurotechnology, biomedical engineering, or a related discipline. Recent graduates with a strong hardware project portfolio that showcases excellence in these areas are welcome to apply.
• Experience working in a cleanroom environment is strongly desired.
• Proven experience working with interdisciplinary teams in a fast-paced, innovative, and adaptive environment.
• Demonstrated experience in the design and development of implantable medical devices is an asset.
• Experience in an ISO 13485 environment and knowledge of US requirements (e.g. 21 CFR 820) are an asset.
• Fluent in French and English (written and spoken). German is an asset.

Knowledge, Skills and Abilities:

• Comprehensive knowledge in the areas of materials, electronics, and/or microfabrication techniques.
• Excellent problem-solving abilities and innovative thinking.
• Strong hands-on skills in experimental design, fabrication, and validation of prototypes.
• Experience and knowledge of electrochemistry is an asset.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to effectively present complex technical information.
• Ability to thrive in an independent as well as a collaborative, team-oriented, and challenging environment.
• Dedication to staying current with new technologies, scientific advances, and industrial trends in the field of neurotechnology.
• Attention to detail and precision in work.
