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 a Manager, Equipment Engineering to build and lead the team responsible for the equipment lifecycle across our microfabrication and device assembly facility in Addison, Texas. 

This role owns routine, preventative, and corrective maintenance across our front-end MEMS toolset and back-end device assembly toolset, supporting Class III medical implant production. The Manager, Equipment Engineering reports to the VP, General Manager and will build and lead a small team of equipment engineers and technicians, growing the function as Precision scales.

This position will be based in our Addison, TX 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.

Key Responsibilities

• Build, lead, and develop a small team of equipment engineers and technicians across front-end and back-end toolsets.

• Own equipment uptime metrics — availability, MTBF, MTTR — across the legacy mixed-toolset fleet.

• Establish and run routine, preventative, and corrective maintenance programs, balancing OEM service contracts with internal capability.

• Own spare parts strategy and inventory, including workflows for long-lead and obsolete OEM parts.

• Lead new equipment installations and qualifications — FAT, SAT, IQ/OQ, and production handoff.

• Serve as the technical escalation point on the hardest failure modes — particularly on legacy equipment — coaching the team through root-cause analysis and vendor evaluation.

• Partner cross-functionally with process engineering, R&D, facilities, EHS, and quality on operations and capital projects.

• Operate under QMS discipline for Class III medical implant manufacturing, supporting design transfer and production release.

• Drive operational discipline — documentation, change control, SPC — and grow the function as Precision scales.

Skills, Knowledge and Expertise
Required:

• Education + experience:

  • BS in Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Materials, Chemical, or related) + 5–15 years equipment or fab engineering experience

  • Minimum 2+ years of direct people management experience leading equipment engineers or technicians

• Demonstrated technical depth across the equipment lifecycle, including:

  • Routine, preventative, and corrective maintenance program ownership in a fab or comparable manufacturing environment

  • New equipment installation, IQ/OQ protocol execution, and production handoff

• Equipment uptime metrics ownership (OEE, MTBF, MTTR, or equivalent)

• Spare parts strategy and inventory management across critical tools

Preferred:

• Working knowledge of front-end MEMS fabrication tools: photolithography, thin-film deposition (PECVD, HDPCVD, sputter, e-beam), plasma etching (ICP RIE), and wet processing.

• Working knowledge of back-end device assembly tools: thermal compression bonding, epoxy and silicone dispense, laser dicing, and mechanical saws.

• Direct experience in Class III or Class II medical device manufacturing under FDA QSR or ISO 13485.

• Experience operating a legacy fab or mixed-vintage toolset with limited OEM support.

• Lean, Six Sigma, or equivalent operational excellence training; Green Belt or Black Belt a plus.

• Equipment qualification and calibration program ownership under FDA QMSR (21 CFR Part 820), with measurement traceability to NIST or international standards.

• Computer System Validation (CSV) experience for production equipment software per GAMP 5 and 21 CFR Part 11.
