About The Position

Cahira Technologies Inc is an MIT spinoff company. We have built the world’s first autonomous and non-surgical brain implant: novel sub-cellular sized wireless electronic devices that seamlessly integrate with the neurons or other biological cells, enabling brain-computer symbiosis beyond conventional brain-computer interfaces. Already validated in our animal studies, this breakthrough has been honored with several esteemed awards such as the NIH Director’s New Innovator Award with the highest and rarely achieved impact score, the MIND Prize, and featured by BBC, Forbes, CNN, Bloomberg, MIT News etc. It is poised for clinical translation for treating intractable neural diseases as well as for transcending humans beyond biological limitations. Join us in our exciting journey to define the future of neurotechnology and human augmentation! We're hiring a micro/nano-electronic device engineer with strong background in electronic device physics, semiconductor engineering and CMOS technology. You will be involved in developing electronic devices for wireless brain stimulation. You should have an interest in biomedical implants, though no prior experience is needed in biotech. Strong grasp in electronic devices (diode, transistors, MEMS, band diagrams etc) is a MUST. Experience in micro/nano-fabrication is strongly preferred but not absolutely required.

Requirements

• Bachelors or M.S or PhD in electrical/electronic engineering, physics, materials science, bio/mechanical/chemical engineering or relevant field
• Strong background in solid state physics and electronic devices (diodes/transistors/band diagrams)
• Minimum 2 years’ specialized lab experience required (which may include experience gained as an undergraduate or graduate) in design, simulation or fabrication of electronic devices (diodes/transistors/optoelectronics/MEMS or other devices)

Nice To Haves

• Experience in micro/nano-fabrication
• Experience in electronic device simulations
• Experience with circuit design

Responsibilities

• Design and develop new nanoelectronic devices for biomedical applications
• Perform simulations to optimize the device
• Perform micro- and nano- fabrication using small tools to make electronic devices using cleanroom facilities and perform device characterization
• Explore applications of these devices for biomedical implants
