About Modular Bionics
Modular Bionics Inc. is a privately held company
dedicated to advancing neurotechnologies for
laboratory and clinical applications. We
currently sell products for neuroscientists and
recently received additional funding to
transition our technologies into a clinical product. We need your assistance!

Job Title
Mechatronics Engineer (active implant medical device background preferred)

Position Summary
Mechatronics Engineer will help develop state of
the art clinical neuromodulation implants and
worn devices for clinical research from design to
manufactured assemblies. Activities will also
include assistance with the design and
manufacturing of our neuroscience products. This
is a full-time salary position with flexible on-site hours.

Qualifications
We need a reliable individual with strong
communication skills who can contribute to the
mechatronic design and debugging of an active
implantable medical device system from design
through delivered product. The desired individual
possesses a range of mechatronic engineering
design and development skills and experiences.
Ideally, the candidate has experience with active
implantable devices in neuromodulation or other
clinical applications. Experience with inductive
charging and RF systems is a significant advantage.

  The ideal candidate is a self-motivated
individual who is excited by the prospect of
working on state of the art neuromodulation
technology in an environment that combines the
dynamic development of a medical device with the
research atmosphere of a neuroscience products company.

The ideal candidate is also flexible,
resourceful, and proactively manages own schedule.

Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or
Electrical Engineering is required. Master’s
degree in engineering is desired. 2 years or
longer industry experience is preferred.
Candidates with less industry experience but
extensive project experience will be considered.

Responsibilities and desired experience
    * Interdisciplinary communication and
teamwork from concept to delivered product.
    * A broad range of experience within mechatronics is ideal.
    * Design and develop mechanical components of
a wireless implantable neuromodulation system
(disposable and reusable). These components
include a hermetic implant, leads, and an
external charger / communication component.
    * Design, schematic capture, and layout of electrical circuits.
    * Utilize SolidWorks to develop detailed 3-D
CAD models and drawings of system components (disposable and reusable).
    * Produce prototype devices for testing and
evaluation. Work with internal and/or external
resources to produce prototype device components.
Assemble and/or evaluate prototype devices.
    * Testing and documentation of prototypes and products.
    * Management of portions of development
including relationships with suppliers.
    * Embedded system development.
    * Integration, debugging, and testing of a
range of systems (e.g., inductive power systems,
RF systems, and high-speed digital circuits).
    * Strong debugging skills of complex systems is desired.
    * Ensure that designs meet performance
specifications, regulatory, and manufacturing requirements.
    * Participate in concept generation
activities. Refine, rate, rank and/or otherwise assess concepts.
    * Familiarity with ASIC design (digital and/or mixed signal) desired.
    * Familiarity with FPGAs and RTL desired.
    * Characterize, test, and debug proprietary and off-the-shelf RF systems.
    * Experience with embedded systems using custom antennas is ideal.
    * Performance of SPICE simulations to verify
circuit functionality and aid debugging efforts.
    * Experience with scripts and data analysis
in MATLAB and/or Python is ideal.
    * Operate and analyze outputs from electrical
test equipment including an oscilloscope, logic
analyzer, spectrum analyzer, and vector network analyzer
    * Proactively report project status to personnel.
    * Maintain Design History Files (DHFs) per
company procedure. Ensure that DHFs are accurate, complete and well organized.
    * Conduct risk analysis for products under
development. Conduct and document Failure Mode
and Effects Analysis per company procedure.
    * Conduct product verification and validation
testing to demonstrate product safety and
efficacy. Determine what testing is required to
satisfy product requirements, to investigate
potential failure modes, and to otherwise address the project design inputs.
    * Develop protocols, plan testing, and
perform or monitor testing. Utilize statistical
methods as required to plan testing and to
analyze test results. Write test reports that
draw conclusions from the results.
    * Ensure that all work satisfies the
requirements of the company's Quality Manual,
with particular emphasis on Design Control.
Conduct Design Reviews as specified in project
plans, and in accordance with company procedure.
Prepare documentation release packages, including
detail drawings, bills of material, and/or procedures.
    * Supervisory responsibility might ultimately include other engineers.

Compensation
We offer competitive compensation packages based
on experience level (benefits included).
