The Production Technician plays a crucial role in the company’s mission to build implantable electrodes for interfacing with the human brain. This role primarily involves performing a variety of specialized manufacturing processes in a cleanroom environment and in the laboratory, adhering strictly to ISO 13485 Quality Management System (QMS) standards. The Production Technician is responsible for assembly, inspection, and testing steps to manufacture implantable electrodes, supporting equipment operation, calibration, and maintenance, and updating consumable inventory. Operating in a start-up environment, the Production Technician must be comfortable with fast-paced, dynamic work conditions, rapidly changing priorities, and a broad scope of responsibilities beyond core manufacturing tasks.

Candidates without prior cleanroom experience but with a strong track record of precision work and discipline will be considered, as training can be provided.
