Electrical Systems Engineer II

Epia Neuro•Alameda, CA

11d•Onsite

About The Position

Epia Neuro is a neural technology company developing intent-driven systems designed to restore function and independence for people living with neurological conditions. Its platform integrates implantable neural interfaces, adaptive algorithms, and assistive devices to translate neural intent into real-world action. The company’s initial focus is stroke-related motor impairment, with expansion in cognitive decline and other neurological disorders, focusing on long-term solutions for the growing aging population. The Role We’re looking for a Electrical Systems Engineer II who wants to build deeply technical, first-of-their-kind medical systems. You’ll own critical parts of our implantable and external hardware systems, from architecture through prototyping to production. This is a hands-on role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, enjoys moving between bench work and system design, and wants their engineering decisions to directly shape patient outcomes. How We Work We are intentional. We prioritize and are thoughtful about how we use others’ time. We care for others. We prioritize safety both for patients and one another. We own outcomes, not just tasks. Our work demands the highest standards because it impacts real patients and real lives. Humility is a strength. We are honest about what we know and what we don’t know. Getting it right matters more than being right.
