About NeuroBionics

NeuroBionics, an MIT neurotechnology spinout, leads the way in developing implantable devices that interface with the human body to treat neurological conditions. Leveraging a decade of innovation, we have engineered a novel neural interface using microscale, flexible, bioelectronic fibers that seamlessly integrate with the human body. By making neural interfacing a minimally invasive procedure, we aim to revolutionize deep brain stimulation and broaden access to this life-changing therapy to millions of patients.

About the Role: Quality Engineer

Location: Somerville, MA (On-site)

Experience: 5+ years in medical devices

Level: Individual Contributor

We’re hiring a meticulous and versatile Quality Engineer to own and execute quality across our engineering, operations, and supplier workflows. You’ll drive test method development, inspections, supplier quality, and QMS maintenance—while keeping documentation airtight and processes compliant.

This is a cross-functional, high-trust role. You should be comfortable operating at the intersection of Quality Engineering (QE), Quality Assurance (QA), and Quality Control (QC), shifting from developing test methods and statistical analyses to inspecting supplier shipments and managing QMS documentation.

This is an extraordinary opportunity to become a key member of an early-stage, VC-backed neurotechnology startup and help shape the future of our company. If you thrive in the details, work well independently, and have the grit to operate across the full quality stack, we’d love to meet you.

Duties and responsibilities

The Quality Engineer is responsible for the execution of QE/QA/QC activities across our development pipeline, ensuring rigorous product quality, robust documentation, and supplier accountability—all while supporting a culture of precision and compliance.

Test & Validation

• Design and validate test methods and tools
• Execute V&V activities and author protocols/reports
• Perform statistical analysis (Gage R&R, DOE) using Minitab or similar software

Manufacturing & Inspection

• Conduct incoming (AQL) receiving inspections, including label and packaging checks
• Supplier selection, qualification, inspection, and management
• Collaborate with R&D, manufacturing, and our suppliers on efficient and robust processes to evaluate product throughout the manufacturing and release
• Contribute to Design History File (DHF) including leading key activities regarding quality planning, Risk management (ISO 14971), and design verification testing
• Perform in-process and final inspections of final product, including DHR review
• Support investigations, root cause analysis, and CAPA implementation
• May perform sterilization review

Documentation & Process Control

• Manage hardcopy document control, traceability, and recordkeeping
• Maintain and improve the Quality Management System (QMS)
• Ensure compliance with ISO 13485, FDA QSR, and internal procedures

Cross-functional Execution

• Partner with engineering and operations to embed quality early
• Support design control activities, design transfer and product release readiness
• Proactively identify and close quality gaps

Qualifications:

Required:

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering or technical discipline (required)
• 5+ years of hands-on experience in medical devices, ideally Class II or III
• Experience with QMS, design control, and supplier quality
• Proficient in test method development, root cause analysis, and risk management (FMEA, 5 Why, etc.)
• Proficient with Minitab or similar tools for data analysis
• Deep familiarity with ISO 13485, ISO 14971, FDA QSR, and relevant guidance documents
• High attention to detail and rigorous documentation standards
• Independent, proactive, and thrives in a fast-moving, startup environment

Preferred:

• Experience with Class III implantable or neuromodulation devices.
• Experience validating and managing sterilization
• Small Startup experience preferred; alternatively, candidates from large companies must be comfortable operating across all quality functions (QE, QA, QC)
