Neuro Implant Process Engineer

We are a pioneering neurotechnology startup developing an innovative brain implant designed to restore vision in blind individuals. As part of our translational research program, we are currently seeking a highly motivated PhD candidate or postdoctoral researcher for a short-term internship (3 to 6 months) to support our preclinical R&D efforts.

You will work closely with our multidisciplinary team of neuroscientists, engineers, and clinicians to:

• Develop on-wafer processing modules for neural devices technologies based on soft polymers (Poly Imide)
• Optimization of processing (DfX), resulting in high yield processing
• Optimize device stacks, to allow for ever increasing number of electrodes
• Implement testing methods and developing setups for long term testing of implantable devices
• Develop optimal electrode activation layer for in-human use
• Contribute to protocol development, data interpretation, and scientific reporting
• Help translate research findings into concrete steps toward clinical application

• Currently enrolled in a PhD program or recently completed a PhD (postdoc level) in Biomedical Engineering, Materials Engineering, Neurotechnology, or a related field
• Experience with/interested in electrophysiology, neurostimulation, or animal models is a strong advantage
• Independent, hands-on, and excited about applied neuroscience and neurotech innovation
• Fluent in English, both spoken and written

• A unique opportunity to gain experience in a cutting-edge brain-machine interface project
• Mentorship from senior scientists and engineers
• Exposure to startup dynamics and fast-paced translational research
• Possibility to co-author publications or patents, depending on contribution
