Location:

Our client in the Neuroscience is looking for a Senior Mechanical Engineer for Active Implants to join their international team of scientists, clinicians and engineers.

Job Description:

The individual will work both independently and collaboratively with the technical team to develop innovative advanced implantable and wearable technologies that are designed to collect real-time neurophysiological signals, transmit multichannel recordings and provide closed loop control signals for a range of human applications. The successful candidate will share his/her time between hands-on mechanical design and engineering tasks, collaborations with external partners, as well as resources and lab facilities management.

Main Responsibilities:

  • Conceptualize and create mechanical designs for the Center’s next-generation implantable and wearable devices

  • Prototype new concepts using rapid prototyping methods (3D printing, machining, etc.)

  • Develop and improve hermetic and near-hermetic encapsulation solutions (using implantable silicone, epoxy, ceramics, titanium or other emerging materials and technologies)

  • Design and improve connection solutions to connect implants to leads (using laser micro-welding, resistance welding, crimping, or other connection technologies)

  • Balance technical requirements with manufacturability and cost

  • Document new designs in compliance with the applicable medical regulations and standards

  • Support Design Verification activities and transfer designs to external production and clinical grade manufacturing partners

  • Collaborate closely with Electrical Engineers, Software Engineers, Scientists, and Product Managers

  • Collaborate with clinicians and end-users to capture, analyze and implement requirements to design technologies suitable for a patient/clinician setting

  • Scout for novel technologies and establish strategic collaborations with related suppliers / partners
