Process Engineer
Apply NowCompany: Precision Neuroscience
Location: Dallas, TX 75217
Description:
Process Engineer
Department: Precision
Employment Type: Full Time
Location: Dallas, Texas
Description
Precision BioMEMS is a cutting-edge Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) fabrication facility in Addison, Texas, owned by Precision Neuroscience. The facility produces thin-film, biocompatible microelectrode arrays for Precision Neuroscience's brain-computer interface system and offers foundry services to pioneering third-party companies.
As a Precision BioMEMS employee, you will have the opportunity to get involved in all aspects of the microfabrication business-from the commercial production of highly regulated medical devices to trailblazing research & design. You will be joining a small, collaborative team with decades of experience in MEMS and an interest in exploring new processing methods. Precision BioMEMS team members work together to solve complex problems for both Precision Neuroscience and the facility's third-party customers, whose industries range from medical diagnostics to advanced micro mechanical sensing.
Most importantly, your work will make a profound difference in the lives of people with disabilities. Precision Neuroscience's products are designed to serve people who have become severely paralyzed as a result of conditions including stroke, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, and ALS. The company's brain-computer interface system will enable these individuals to regain independence, communicate with loved ones, and return to life.
We are seeking a Process Engineer to work on the manufacturing and integration of essential components of a brain-computer interface (BCI). This hands-on position will suit someone who is expert in MEMS process techniques and who has expertise in integration for R&D of novel medical devices.
This is an extraordinary opportunity to join our core team to help shape the future of our company. You'll apply creative solutions to contribute towards the transition of the BCI from research and development to commercialization. Your work will help improve the lives of patients who live with neurological disorders in a matter of months and years, not decades.
This position is on-site at our Addison, Texas office. We are unable to consider remote workers or people not currently based in the United States, and who do not have working rights.
