Santa Clara, CA, USA
USD 120k-140k / year
Posted on May 24, 2025
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 Senior Process Engineer to develop key materials and processes for our high-density electrode array and other key components of our implantable devices.
In this role, you will play a key part in fabricating our high-density, high channel count electrode array for use in our minimally invasive BCI. You will utilize materials and process expertise to develop our devices and improve the performance and reliability of our implantable systems.
This position will be based in our Santa Clara office and in our San Francisco Bay Area partner facilities. We are unable to consider remote workers or people not currently based in the United States with working rights.
