Micro Assembly Process Engineer (Medical Devices)

Permanent employee, Full-time · Barcelona
Your mission

We are scientists, doctors, techies and humanity lovers, with the mission of pioneering real time precision neurology to cure brain-related disorders. INBRAIN harnesses the extraordinary material properties of Graphene, the world’s thinnest and nobel-prize winning material, to build high resolution neural systems. Our mission is to decode and modulate neural networks to restore people's lives.

As a Micro Assembly Process Engineer, you will lead the feasibility, process development, and equipment bring-up for cutting-edge micro-assembly processes used in flexible medical device manufacturing. This role will focus on developing and optimizing key processes, such as laser scribing, lift-off and delamination of polyimide (PI) devices, tab bonding, ACF bonding, pick-and-place assembly, and wafer testing and inspection as well as other potentially.

You will be at the forefront of bringing advanced healthcare solutions to market, making a tangible difference in people´s lives worldwide.

This position will be office-based in Bellaterra. 
Your profile

Main responsibilities:

  • Development to Production Transfer: The principal responsibility of development team is to manage the development-to-production transfer process, ensuring that prototype designs are effectively scaled for manufacturing with a focus on yield improvement, design optimization, and manufacturing readiness. This includes creating and refining the Bill of Materials (BOM), Bill of Processes (BOP), manufacturing equipment specifications, testing protocols, and manufacturing recipes. 
  • Proactively conduct feasibility studies to evaluate new micro assembly processes and equipment for manufacturing flexible PI-based devices.
  • Develop and optimize laser scribing processes for precision cutting and structuring of flexible substrates.
  • Lead the development of lift-off and delamination processes for flexible polyimide devices, ensuring reliable separation and handling.
  • Drive the tab bonding and ACF (Anisotropic Conductive Film) bonding processes to ensure strong electrical and mechanical connections.
  • Support internal development of over molding processes for strain relief and biocompatibility.
  • Oversee pick-and-place assembly of microelectronic components, ensuring high accuracy and repeatability.
  • Develop and implement wafer testing and inspection processes to ensure device quality and compliance with manufacturing standards.
  • Manage equipment bring-up, working closely with vendors to ensure tools meet manufacturing requirements and are qualified for production use.
  • Ensure processes comply with ISO 13485 standards, including documentation, risk assessment, and validation activities.
  • Transfer developed processes to the clean room manufacturing team, providing training and technical support as needed.
  • Support third-party CMOs, ensuring they are capable of scaling processes to meet production demands and quality standards.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including R&D, automation, and quality, to ensure successful product launches and process transfers.

Mandatory Qualifications and Soft skills:

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
  • Minimum 2-3 years experience in medical device assembly process development, particularly in flexible devices or advanced microfabrication. 
  • Fluency in English required (company main language)
  • Familiarity with process control methodologies (SPC, FMEA, DOE) and manufacturing documentation.
  • Experience with equipment qualification and tool bring-up in a clean room environment.
  • Understanding of ISO 13485 requirements for medical device manufacturing.
  • Analytical Problem-Solver: Ability to troubleshoot complex process issues and develop innovative solutions.
  • Hands-On Approach: Willing to work directly with equipment and processes to ensure optimal performance.
  • Collaborative: Strong ability to work across departments and with external partners (CMOs, equipment vendors) to achieve project goals.
  • Detail-Oriented: High level of accuracy in process execution, documentation, and reporting.
  • Continuous Improvement Mindset: Proactively seeks ways to improve processes, increase yields, and reduce waste.
  • Adaptable: Comfortable managing multiple projects and shifting priorities in a fast-paced production environment.
  • Effective Communicator: Able to clearly convey technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.

Nice to have:

  • Hands-on experience with laser processing (scribing, cutting) and lift-off/delamination techniques.
  • Knowledge of tab bonding and ACF bonding processes for flexible electronics.
  • Experience with pick-and-place assembly equipment and wafer-level testing.
  • Experience with thin film processes such as PVD, lithography, etc.
  • Familiarity with automation integration for microassembly processes.
  • Knowledge of vacuum systems and precision alignment tools.
  • Previous experience working with third-party CMOs to scale production processes.
  • Experience in medical device manufacturing or other regulated environments (ISO 13485, GMP).
  • Understanding of yield management and defect analysis for wafer-level processes.
