About the role

These devices allow us to restore movement to the paralyzed, restore sight to the blind, and revolutionize how humans interact with their digital world.
The team operates at an in-house cleanroom facility in Fremont, with operations expanding to Austin in the near future.

Design and physically realize next-generation thin-film microelectrode arrays.
Develop and deploy advanced process integration schemes for thin-film fabrication within production environments.
Execute benchtop experiments to characterize the relationship between fabrication parameters, design, and product performance (e.g., impedance and longevity).
Utilize statistical analysis on experimental data to drive data-informed product improvement decisions.
Sponsor in vivo studies to validate the physiological performance of novel designs and processes.
Manage data collection and retention strategies to ensure high-quality reporting and documentation at study completion.
This includes developing process modules to push design and fabrication limits; performing metrology to monitor, test, and characterize in-process progress; and providing detailed documentation of process steps, changes, and measurements.
