About Precision Neuroscience
Precision 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. 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.
Our Values
We build for human impact, measuring progress by the lives our work can change.
We do no harm, holding ourselves to the highest standards of safety, integrity, and responsibility.
We innovate with urgency because the stakes are high and our users can’t wait.
We bring sharp minds, open ears, pairing expertise with curiosity, humility, and respect.
And we lead the way, taking ownership of our work and helping to shape the future of our field.
We are seeking an Electrical Engineer PCB Layout to translate PCB schematics into manufacturable PCB layouts and coordinate manufacturing and assembly with vendors.
In this role, you will work on state-of-the-art implantable electronics in a multi-disciplinairy team, collaborating with electronics, micro-fabrication, and mechanical engineers.
This position will be based in our Santa Clara office. We are unable to consider remote workers or individuals who are not currently based in the US and are not legally authorized to work in the US.
