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. Since our founding in 2021, we have raised more than $180 million, advanced our technology through validation, and initiated human trials with leading hospitals across the country. We are seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer to join our Implant Hardware team to design scalable solutions to chronically implanted thin‑film cortical surface electrode arrays. This position will best suit someone who is experienced with mechanical design of surgical tools and Class III medical devices involving chronic material interface solutions. This is an extraordinary opportunity to join our core team to help shape the future of our company. Your work will see commercialization quickly so that we improve the lives of patients who live with neurological disorders in a matter of months and years, not decades. This position will be based in our Manhattan office. We are unable to consider remote workers or individuals who are not currently based in the US and legally authorized to work in the US. Key Responsibilities Execute hands‑on design, testing, and process development tasks for mechanical packaging of MEMS and implantable electronic components.
