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 Automation Engineer to build extensible test automation infrastructure for Precision’s BCI devices.
In this role you will work closely with hardware, firmware, and manufacturing teams to develop test automation and data analysis frameworks from architecture definition to implementation to deployment. Precision’s BCI devices include high performance analog/mixed-signal electronics, wireless technologies, efficient data processing, and sophisticated power management.
This position will be on-site in our Santa Clara, CA office. We are unable to consider remote workers or people not currently based in the United States, with working rights.
