Senior MEMS Test Development Engineer
Barcelona
Full-time
Permanent employee
Your mission
We are scientists, doctors, techies and humanity lovers, with the mission of building neuroelectronic interfaces to cure brain disorders. INBRAIN harnesses the extraordinary material properties of Graphene, the world’s thinnest and nobel-prize winning material, to build safe, uninvasive and highly efficient neural solutions. Our mission is to decode and modulate neural networks to improve people's lives
As a Senior MEMS Test Development Engineer, you will be driving the development of custom, automated test platforms for our next-generation flexible neural implants. Acting as the lead systems integrator, this role serves as the critical bridge between the cross-functional R&D teams (Mechatronics, Electronics, Software) and the Manufacturing floor.
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:
- Physics & Failure Analysis: Define theoretical device failure modes based on material science, electrochemistry, and MEMS physics. Design the physical, environmental, and electrical stress protocols required to accelerate and capture these failures.
- Test Architecture & Coordination: Act as the technical lead for test system creation. Translate theoretical test requirements into clear, actionable hardware and software specifications for the Mechatronics, Electronics, and Software teams to execute.
- Data Analysis & Recipe Development: Write and deploy Python scripts to analyze high-throughput test data, extract yield/degradation metrics, and develop automated test recipes that the software team can integrate into the main platform.
- System-Level Integration & Debugging: Take a hands-on approach to commissioning prototype test rigs. Validate that the physical kinetics (e.g.,wet-bench micro vibration) and electrical measurements (using SMUs, DAQs, Oscilloscopes) accurately reflect the required physics.
- Continuous R&D Feedback: Feed complex reliability data and failure analysis back into the core R&D design team to drive immediate iterations on wafer-level manufacturing and thin-film packaging.
Mandatory Qualifications and Soft skills:
- Bachelor's or master's degree in electrical engineering, Mechatronics, Physics, or a related field (A strong Electrical Engineering background is highly preferred).
- 5+ years of experience in Test Development, Manufacturing Engineering, or NPI (New Product Introduction), with hands-on experience building automated wafer probers or complex Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) test rigs.
- NPI Track Record: Proven ability to take prototype test platforms out of R&D and successfully industrialize them for a production/manufacturing floor (including writing SOPs for operators).
- Basic understanding of scripting languages (e.g., Python, C#) specifically for hardware control, DAQ integration, and instrument automation (e.g., SCPI/VISA communication).
- Deep understanding of electrical characterization and signal integrity. Must be highly capable of debugging with oscilloscopes and SMUs, specifically for high-impedance or low-noise analog measurements.
- Demonstrated ability to physically integrate disparate electronic and mechanical subsystems (e.g., syncing a hardware DAQ trigger with a multiplexer and a thermal environmental chamber) into a cohesive, turnkey production tool.
- Proven ability to lead by influence across matrixed R&D teams (Software, Electronics, Mechatronics).
- Exceptional interpersonal skills required to bridge technical gaps between diverse engineering disciplines.
- Capable of proactively anticipating usability risks on the manufacturing floor and implementing robust, error-proof (poka-yoke) safeguards into system integrations.
- Highly systematic and objective approach to root-cause analysis.
- Comfortable navigating ambiguity within advanced R&D environments.
Nice to have (optional):
- Semiconductor & Wafer-Level Testing: Hands-on experience with automated wafer probers, high-throughput parametric testing, and die-level electrical characterization.
- Reliability & Environmental Testing: Practical knowledge of accelerated aging models, package hermeticity testing, leakage current failure modes, and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS).
- Digital Manufacturing Integration: Proven track record of interfacing automated test hardware directly with Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) or ERP architectures for real-time data logging and traceability.
- Neurotechnology & Mixed-Signal Electronics: Familiarity with high-channel-count analog front-ends (AFEs), custom ASICs, or complex neural electrophysiology signal chains.
- Data Pipeline Architecture: Understanding of SQL databases and automated data visualization tools (e.g., Grafana, PowerBI) to track manufacturing yield, Cpk, and test metrics.
- Regulatory Compliance: Working knowledge of Class III Medical Device testing standards and quality management systems (e.g., ISO 13485, IEC 60601-1, ISO 14708 for Active Implantable Medical Devices).
