Company mission
To provide breakthrough treatments for the one billion patients worldwide suffering from neurological illnesses.
Role
Who you are
- BS/MS in Electrical Engineering (EE), Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE), Computer Engineering (CE), Computer Science (CS), or related field
- 1-3 years’ industry experience in electrical engineering roles, preferably for medical devices
- Expertise in hands-on testing tasks using automated instrumentation and signal generators, oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers and vector network analyzers
- Expertise in HDL coding (VHDL preferred)
- Expert coding in standard C
- Expertise writing firmware for and debugging MCUs/SoCs, FPGAs and industry standard digital interfaces and high-speed signaling methods
- Experience with bring-up and debugging new hardware systems
- Familiarity with design and simulation tools:
- High-level system simulation and data analysis (Python preferred)
- Field solving software (HFSS preferred)
- Digital circuitry simulation (Modelsim preferred)
- Schematic and layout tools (Altium, preferred)
- A track record of delivering on accelerated timelines and budgets, with a demonstrated history of self-directed work within a team
- Familiarity designing small form factor and low-power discrete mixed-signal circuits for power-path control and management (preferred)
- Familiarity with physical and mathematical principles guiding the application of electrical engineering, especially electronic design involving electromagnetics first principals and applications (preferred)
- Familiarity with industry safety standards including IEC6601 (preferred)
What the job involves
- Support our multidisciplinary hardware engineering team to develop optimized electronic systems with high reliability, working with applications that are size-constrained and that operate at low power
- Contribute to a range of electronic system simulation and detailed design, firmware, HDL digital coding targeting FPGAs, PCB design and layout, and testing tasks
- Contribute to design and development of our mixed-signal discrete electronics using numerical simulation and performance optimization
- Interface with and manage industry-leading vendors for fabrication and assembly needs
- 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
- Create and update end-user technical documentation, product specifications and vendor procedures
Our take
Precision Neuroscience is finding new, practical ways of improving the lives of those who are suffering from neurological conditions.
The Layer 7 Cortical Interface is an implant that’s 1/5th the thickness of a human hair and can be fitted onto the human brain without damaging it. Through minimally invasive micro-slit surgery, the brain implant can process data and aims to move brain-computer interfaces (BCI) technology from small-scale research into a new era of worldwide usage.
The long-term goal of the Layer 7 Cortical Interface is to allow customers to interact with people and the world via digital means. Whilst the market is blooming with new companies exploring the possibilities of BCI technology, Precision has an advantage in that its solution requires minimal surgery and is reversible, meaning that it has wider implications than just neurological disorders.
Work is ongoing but with substantial funding behind it, Precision is using its investment to ramp up product development and FDA regulatory review as well as expanding its team.
