About the position
Science is a clinical stage, vertically integrated technology company focused on solving some of neuroscience's hardest questions and most serious unmet medical needs. We work to restore quality of life to those with debilitating conditions for which there are no treatment options, creating devices aimed at restoring vision, cognition, and mobility to patients who have lost it. To support progress across our industry, we provide state-of-the-art components and vertically integrated infrastructure for others to build on via Science Foundry. We are seeking a Microfabrication Integration Engineer focused on the integration of our microelectronic devices. Your main focus will be the integrating different microfabricated components together from different traditional technology sectors. As a company, we employ diverse approaches to address complex problems, which means you will be expected to conceive, design, and develop innovative device integration schemes. This is a hands-on position where you will need to use microfabrication skills to modify devices, develop processes, design or purchase equipment and demonstrate success. While our goal is to move quickly, once the optimal solution is identified, we aim to scale our work to impact as many people as possible.
