Résumé du poste

NeuroBionics in Somerville, MA is hiring a Manufacturing Technician to build clinical-grade devices and support IO fiber production. You will perform high-skill assembly to spec, run inspections, maintain critical documentation, and support R&D prototypes when needed.

This hands-on role requires 2–5 years in manufacturing, exceptional hand skills, strict SOP adherence, and the ability to work independently on a cleanroom floor at our Somerville/Cambridge sites.

Qualifications

• 2–5 years of hands-on manufacturing experience, ideally in medical devices or similarly regulated physical products.
• Exceptional hand skills and fine manual dexterity, including experience with assembly of small components.
• Experience following SOPs and filling out work orders, travelers, and controlled quality documentation.
• High attention to detail and strong follow-through – build quality is non-negotiable.
• Integrity and transparency: report mistakes immediately, with no hidden rework.
• Comfortable working independently without constant oversight, while staying coachable.
• Capable of working on a cleanroom manufacturing floor, standing for long periods, bending, lifting up to 50 lbs, and using a microscope.

Responsabilités

• Assemble medical devices and R&D fiber components to exact specifications.
• Perform high-skill builds and tricky assembly/integration steps.
• Maintain high yield and low rework through meticulous quality practices.
• Document work orders, travelers, and QC data clearly and accurately.
• Support R&D build efforts and prototype workflows as manufacturing needs evolve.

About NeuroBionics

NeuroBionics, an MIT neurotechnology spinout, is developing novel implantable devices that interface seamlessly with the human body to treat neurological conditions. Leveraging over a decade of innovation, we have engineered a novel neural interface using microscale, flexible, bioelectronic fibers that can be delivered into the body through minimally invasive endovascular approaches. By making neural interfacing a minimally invasive procedure, we aim to revolutionize deep brain stimulation and broaden access to life-changing neuromodulation therapies to millions of patients.

About The Role

NeuroBionics is hiring a Manufacturing Technician to be a reliable, high-quality pair of hands for both our clinical device builds and our IO research fiber. You'll build clinical-grade devices to spec, run in-process and receiving inspections with rigor, and learn our IO fiber manufacturing process well enough to support our R&D team as they work to improve its quality and yield. Beyond building and inspecting, you'll support functional testing of the IO fiber and flex into building R&D prototypes and fixturing when manufacturing needs ease. This is a hands-on role for someone who takes pride in disciplined execution, is comfortable working independently, and takes initiative to bring value across the full manufacturing cycle. High-level hand skills and attention to detail are table stakes for this role. This position will be on-site at our locations in Somerville, MA & Cambridge, MA.

Duties And Responsibilities

Medical Device Assembly:

• Independently perform high-skill builds and tricky assembly/integration steps to spec
• Maintain high yield and low rework at the team’s quality bar
• Maintain critical documentation including work orders/travelers
• Keep parts organized, labelled, and clearly documented

IO Research Fiber Build And Support

• Assemble our multifunctional fiber into functional devices with optical, electrical, and fluidic connections
• Inspect and test each device for quality and functionality
• Support the research team as we improve the manufacturing process by flagging challenging steps and tracking yields

Quality And Inspection

• Perform incoming and in-process inspection per documented methods
• Document clearly and catch defects early
• Maintain a quality-first mindset that focuses on building with precision within the confines of a regulated quality environment – following WOs, WIs, maintenance schedules, non-conformance procedures, etc.

R&D Build Support

• When a manufacturing push winds down, pivot to building prototypes under the direction of the R&D team and build inventory so R&D can iterate
• Be the manufacturing resource that keeps engineers focused on R&D instead of fabrication, staying productively engaged through quieter stretches

Qualifications

Required:

• ~2-5 years of hands-on manufacturing experience, ideally in medical devices or similarly regulated physical products (e.g. aerospace)
• Exceptional hand skills and fine manual dexterity, including experience with assembly of small components
• Experience following SOPs and filling out work orders, travelers, and controlled quality documentation
• High attention to detail and strong follow-through – build quality is non-negotiable, and you’d rather slow down than ship a sloppy unit
• Integrity and transparency: reports mistakes immediately, with no hidden rework
• Comfortable working independently without constant oversight, while staying coachable and open to continuous improvement
• Capable of working on a cleanroom manufacturing floor, which frequently requires standing for long periods, bending, lifting up to 50 lbs, and significant time working under a microscope

Preferred

• Associate degree in a technical/engineering field, or equivalent hands-on experience
• Experience manufacturing catheters, endoscopes or Class II/III implantable medical devices
• Experience working in a controlled environment (cleanroom, contamination control, ESD)
• Experience handling and assembling small parts with tweezers under a microscope
• Familiarity with basic quality workflows (nonconformances, rework vs. scrap, quarantines/holds, lot/serial traceability)
• Experience running reliability / verification tests (environmental/aging/soak, mechanical, electrical)
• Lean Manufacturing or 6 Sigma training

What we offer

• Mission-driven, collaborative team solving a high-impact problem
• Competitive and experience-guided compensation with strong equity package
• 3 weeks flexible PTO + 1.5 week company shutdown
• Comprehensive benefits plan including
• Health, dental and vision insurance covered at 100%
• Health Reimbursement Account (HRA)
• 401(k) with company match
• Parental & Medical Leave
• Life and Long-term Disability insurance
• Health & wellness benefit
• Opportunity to learn and work for a fast-growing, VC-backed, MIT-spinoff on one of the most impactful problems that can change lives
