Electronics Assembly Technician

Science is a clinical stage, vertically integrated technology company focused on solving some of neuroscience’s hardest questions and most serious unmet medical needs. We work to restore quality of life to those with debilitating conditions for which there are no treatment options, creating devices aimed at restoring vision, cognition, and mobility to patients who have lost it. To support progress across our industry, we provide state-of-the-art components and vertically integrated infrastructure for others to build on via Science Foundry.

We are looking for technicians to support development of our device and other projects. You must be motivated, curious, and consider unconventional solutions. Work is highly collaborative and cross functional. Work includes electronics assembly and test, device encapsulation, tools and fixtures operation and assembly for biological, optical and microfabrication teams. At this early stage, speed is of utmost importance, so you must be able to pivot, and approach challenges from multiple directions simultaneously.

You must be able to move quickly without losing important details, and understand when to modulate for high precision tasks. Design and fabrication work will encompass the range from micro (we work in microns) to macro (some machines weigh hundreds of pounds) depending on the challenge. All challenges are highly collaborative.
