Precision Neuroscience is pioneering a brain implant, known as a brain-computer interface (BCI), to restore communication and independence for people with neurological conditions. Our cutting-edge technology is designed to empower people with paralysis to control digital devices—such as computers and smartphones—with their thoughts alone, opening new possibilities for daily life.
Precision’s multidisciplinary team brings together leading experts in diverse fields such as neurosurgery, artificial intelligence, machine learning, microfabrication, electrical engineering, and more. We are committed to turning breakthrough scientific advancements into real-world solutions for people affected by conditions such as spinal cord injury, stroke, and ALS.
As a Precision employee, you will be joining one of the fastest moving and best-capitalized companies in the emerging field of BCI. Since our founding in 2021, Precision has secured over $155 million in funding, developed and validated our technology, and initiated human trials in collaboration with some of the nation’s top hospitals.
We are seeking a Product Manager of Machine Learning to drive the execution of our machine learning initiatives. This individual will partner closely with our ML lead and cross-functional teams to plan, prioritize, and deliver ML-driven features and capabilities.
In this role you will own the day-to-day product management of the ML team – breaking down complex initiatives into actionable plans, defining clear requirements and success metrics, and ensuring timely execution of work that supports our clinical programs and next-generation product roadmap. This is a unique opportunity to shape groundbreaking brain–computer interface technology that will directly impact the lives of people living with severe neurological conditions.
This position will be based in our Manhattan or Santa Clara office. We are unable to consider remote workers or people not currently based in the United States, with working rights.
