# Senior Mechanical Engineer

**Echo** · San Francisco

Apply: https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/echo/jobs/4387041009

## About Echo

Echo helps B2B founders know exactly what to say during a sales call to win the business, including how to respond to any objections that come up. We do this by generating a personalized sales playbook based on best practices and providing an intuitive interface for following its guidelines in real time.

## About the role

#### Company Overview

Echo Neurotechnologies is an exciting new startup in the Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) space, driving innovation through advanced hardware engineering and AI solutions. Our mission is to deliver cutting-edge technologies that restore autonomy to people living with disabilities and improve their quality of life.

#### Team Culture

Join a small, dedicated team of knowledgeable and motivated professionals. Our early-stage environment offers the opportunity to take ownership of broad decisions with significant and long-lasting impact. We emphasize continuous learning and growth, fostering cross-functional collaboration where your contributions are vital to our success.

##### Role Overview

As a Senior Mechanical Engineer, you will own the mechanical architecture, design, development and scale of a brain-space active implantable product toward high-volume manufacturing, working closely with contract manufacturing partners. You'll take a design through human-factors testing, design verification, and into full-scale production.

**Primary Role and Responsibilities**

- Device Design Refinement: Evolve mechanical assemblies — hermetic enclosures, ultra-fine multi-lumen components, connectors, and surgical deployment tools — optimizing for manufacturability and reliability.

- Contract Manufacturer Collaboration: Serve as primary technical point of contact for contract manufacturers, driving joint development, process characterization, resolving yield and quality issues, and holding CMs accountable to design intent, timelines, and quality.

- Materials Application: Apply and validate biocompatible materials (titanium, platinum-iridium, specialized polyurethanes, silicones) for chronic implantation, fatigue resistance, and biostability.

- Tolerance & Stress Analysis: Perform FEA for stress, strain, and fatigue, plus GD&T, to ensure manufacturability.

- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Electrical Engineering (circuitry and hermetic feedthrough integration), Neurosurgeon/Neurologist, and Clinical/Regulatory teams.

- V&V: Draft test protocols and execute/manage mechanical testing (tensile, flex-fatigue, leak, environmental stress cracking) to meet FDA and ISO 14971 standards. Own reliability testing DOEs beyond V&V to explore/capture corner cases failure modes.

- DFM/DFA: Develop and refine processes for laser welding, micro-molding, and automated assembly of sub-millimeter components with CM partners.

##### Qualifications

- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, or Materials Science (Master's or Ph.D. preferred).

- 7+ years of mechanical design experience, ideally with Class III active implantable medical devices, including taking designs through V&V, DFM, and into production

- Demonstrated experience managing or partnering with contract manufacturers on process transfer, tooling qualification, and scale-up

- Advanced proficiency in SolidWorks, PTC Creo, or equivalent 3D modeling software

- Deep understanding of micro-machining, injection molding, hermetic sealing, and the mechanical challenges of ultra-flexible, multi-contact implantable components

- Familiarity with FDA 21 CFR Part 820, ISO 13485, and ISO 14708 (active implantable devices)Meticulous attention to detail, a passion for complex spatial problem-solving, and empathy for the patients who rely on this technology

#####

Salary$150,000—$215,000 USD

#### What We Offer

- An opportunity to work on exciting, cutting-edge projects to transform patients’ lives in a highly collaborative work environment.

- Competitive compensation, including stock options.

- Comprehensive benefits package.

- 401(k) program with matching contributions.

#### Equal Opportunity Employer

Echo Neurotechnologies is an Equal Opportunity Employer (EOE). We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
