Head of Nanofabrication Manufacturing

The Company is seeking a Head of Nanofabrication Manufacturing to spearhead the development and scale-up of implantable micro-electrode technology for advanced brain-computer interfaces. The successful candidate will be responsible for building and leading a high-performing microfabrication and manufacturing team, as well as designing next-generation multi-channel electrode arrays with a focus on layouts, materials, geometries, and fabrication processes. This role involves leading cleanroom manufacturing using a variety of techniques, including thin-film processing, photolithography, sputtering, etching/RIE, and wet chemistry, and selecting materials for long-term biocompatibility, stability, and signal quality. The Head of Nanofabrication Manufacturing will also be tasked with scaling the manufacturing process from prototype development to production-ready processes. The ideal candidate for this position at the company will have a proven track record in leadership and team building, strong hands-on expertise in microfabrication and cleanroom processes, and a deep understanding of MEMS devices and processes. They should be well-versed in the impact of materials and fabrication on biocompatibility and neural signal quality, and possess an entrepreneurial spirit with the ability to take projects from R&D to scalable manufacturing. A degree or PhD in a relevant field such as neuroengineering, microsystems, electrical engineering, physics, or biomedical engineering is required.
