Company mission
To provide breakthrough treatments for the one billion patients worldwide suffering from neurological illnesses.
Role
Who you are
- BS/MS in Mechanical Engineering (ME), Biomedical Engineering (BME) or similar
- 2+ years of industry experience in mechanical engineering roles, preferably in the medical device industry
- Experience scoping, designing, and implementing test stations such as:
- Proxies to reliably and repeatably simulate the conditions of real living systems
- V&V and durability test fixtures
- Mechanical fatigue test systems
- Accelerated aging test setups
- Experience writing technical reports that clearly present statistical analyses of experimental results
- Expert in rapid prototyping using tools such as FDM and SLA 3D printers, laser cutters, manual milling machines, etc, and a track record of working towards accelerated timelines
- Experience working with suppliers to transfer designs to manufacturing while ensuring DFM principles
- Proficiency in tools that assist with data acquisition, analysis, and statistical methods (e.g., MATLAB, Python, Minitab)
- Diverse experience of engineering disciplines including pneumatics, electronics, silicone molds, injection molded plastics, sheet metal, and CNC parts
- Excellent organizational and communication skills; able to collaborate with neuroscientists, neurosurgeons, and electrical, software, materials, and bio engineers
- Proficient in CAD (we use SolidWorks)
- You should be comfortable with creative problem solving, collaborating, troubleshooting, and taking charge of projects from concept to production
What the job involves
- We are seeking a Test Engineer to join our Surgery Hardware team to support the bring-up of test systems for evaluating the efficacy of Precision hardware systems
- This position will best suit a versatile and highly organized engineer with experience designing controlled experiments that implement custom hardware to test medical devices to their requirements and specifications
- Execute on experimental design principles to design and build custom test fixtures and proxies to evaluate how Precision hardware systems perform against real world test conditions, and validate that they meet all specifications
- Work closely with technical and quality departments to scope the objectives and requirements of new test systems
- Complete hands-on assembly, testing, and empirical data collection tasks while ensuring rigorous quality control is being enforced
- Perform careful analysis of empirical data collected from test systems to determine causal relationships and state causal conclusions
- Meticulously document all testing inputs and parameters, procedures, results, and analysis
- Collaborate with the rest of our team to publish and present our work
- Create and update end-user technical documentation, product specifications and vendor procedures to ensure we are compliant with relevant regulations
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.
