Equipment Engineer

Equipment EngineerPrecision Neuroscience is building a next-generation brain–computer interface (BCI) to heal and empower millions of people living with neurological conditions. Our first product, Layer 7, is designed to help people with severe paralysis operate digital devices using only their thoughts—opening up new possibilities for daily life. Our team brings together experts in neurosurgery, AI and machine learning, microfabrication, electrical engineering, clinical science, and more. We combine deep technical rigor with a people-first mindset to turn breakthrough research into real-world medical solutions. As a Precision employee, you'll join one of the fastest-moving and best-capitalized companies in the emerging field of brain–computer interfaces.Precision is seeking a hands-on Equipment Engineer to serve as the primary technical owner for our micro-electrical mechanical systems (MEMS) fabrication facility. This role is designed for an engineer who thrives in the cleanroom, focusing on the direct maintenance, troubleshooting, and hardware optimization of critical Fab equipment. You will be responsible for ensuring maximum uptime through technical mastery of vacuum systems, RF generators, and complex mechanical assemblies, ensuring all work meets rigorous ISO cleanroom standards along with keeping all the facilities equipment running properly. This position will be based in our Addison, Texas office.Key Responsibilities:Direct Hardware Support: Perform expert-level service, repair, and troubleshooting of complex mechanical, electrical, and pneumatic/hydraulic systems inside and outside the cleanroom (Fab).Tool Performance: Directly execute PM procedures and identify ways to increase tool uptime through Continuous Improvement programs.Installation & Modification: Lead the physical installation of new equipment and perform hardware modifications to improve process stability and performance.Diagnostics: Read and interpret complex schematics (PID, electrical, hydraulic) to diagnose root causes of tool downs quickly.Documentation: Log all technical actions and hardware changes in the CMMS to maintain an accurate "health record" for every tool.Spare Parts: Evaluate and test replacement parts to ensure compatibility and tool performance.Skills, Knowledge and Expertise:Education & Certifications: BS degree in a technical field (electronics, engineering, or related) or equivalent military training.Experience: 4+ years of hands-on experience in maintenance, repair, and troubleshooting of semiconductor/microfabrication equipment, specifically within a clean room environment.Expertise in preventive maintenance and asset reliability principles as applied to clean room standards.Proficiency in CMMS, reading technical drawings (PID, hydraulic, electrical), and PLC troubleshooting.Deep understanding of contamination control principles and standard operating procedures for the Fab environment.Work Style: A self-directed professional with a strong sense of ownership, accountability, and the ability to thrive in small, collaborative teams focused on precision.Physical Requirements:Work is performed within a designated clean room environment, requiring strict adherence to gowning procedures (full bunny suit, mask, gloves) and safety protocols. Ability to lift/carry objects up to 35 pounds and maneuver in confined spaces is required. Will involve working with potentially hazardous elements such as specialty gases, wet chemicals, electric currents, and high-voltage systems, strictly adhering to safety procedures and using appropriate Personal Protection Equipment (PPE).Diverse workforces create the best culture, company, and products.
