Senior Mechanical Engineer (Implant Hardware)

Position Overview

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 empowers people with paralysis to control digital devices—such as computers and smartphones—with their thoughts alone, opening new possibilities for daily life.

Joining our multidisciplinary team means working alongside experts in neurosurgery, artificial intelligence, machine learning, microfabrication, electrical engineering, and more. Since our founding in 2021, Precision has secured over $155 million in funding, validated our technology, and initiated human trials in collaboration with some of the nation’s top hospitals.

We are seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer to join our Implant Hardware team and design scalable solutions for chronically implanted electronics. This role is ideal for someone experienced with mechanical design of Class III medical devices featuring implantable electronics such as IPG, DBS, spinal cord stimulators, or cochlear implants. This is an extraordinary opportunity to join our core team and see your work commercialized quickly, improving the lives of patients with neurological disorders in months and years—not decades.

Please note, this position is on-site at our Manhattan office and requires U.S. residency with current working rights.

Key Responsibilities

• Execute hands-on design, testing, and process development tasks for the mechanical packaging of implantable electronic components.
• Perform assembly, integration, and testing tasks while ensuring rigorous quality control is maintained.
• Collaborate with team members to publish and present our work.
• Create and update end-user technical documentation, product specifications, and vendor procedures to ensure regulatory compliance.

Required Qualifications

• BS/MS in Mechanical Engineering (ME), Biomedical Engineering (BME), or a related field.
• 5+ years of industry experience in mechanical engineering roles, preferably in the medical device industry.
• Proven experience designing parts for manufacturing techniques including CNC, injection molding, 3D printing, and die stamping.
• Experience in designing Class III medical devices with implantable electronics.
• Familiarity with medical leads, connectors, feedthroughs, hermetic seals, laser welded/brazed joints, and thick film metallization.
• Experience with compression molding, liquid injection molding, or overmolding.
• Excellent organizational and communication skills with the ability to collaborate across multidisciplinary teams including neuroscientists, neurosurgeons, and engineers in electrical, software, materials, and bio fields.
• Expertise in CAD (SolidWorks preferred) and finite element analysis (FEA).
• Demonstrated ability to work under accelerated timelines and manage projects from concept to production.
