Who we are

Integral is building technologies to treat neurological and psychiatric disorders.

Our first device is a miniaturized, implanted, deep-brain interface for severely affected patients. It will have unprecedented capabilities for recording and modulating neural activity and for monitoring patients’ symptoms.

This device will dramatically advance our ability to treat brain disorders and to understand their biological causes. We will use this unique discovery platform to develop an expanding range of more effective treatments that will ultimately be accessible to everyone.

Leadership:

Flip Sabes, CSO - Neuralink cofounder, UCSF Professor Emeritus, neuroscientist and neurotech innovator

Milan Cvitkovic, CEO - Neurotech venture builder; previously first-hire at Convergent Research, AI researcher, and software engineer

Stephen O'Driscoll, VP of Engineering - Verily cofounder and former Head of Electrical Engineering, former Director of Device Electronics at Science Corp

We prioritize ambitious engineering, speed, and patients' needs.

 

What you'll do

You will personally own multiple mission-critical MechE efforts for developing and shipping our first device, including more than one of the following:

Design, fabrication, and testing of surgical tooling for precise placement of our device’s novel leads in the brain

Surgical procedure development, including process iteration with surgeons and in vivo testing

Development of implanted hardware, such as cables, connectors, and enclosures

Verification and validation testing of systems and components

We work full-time, in-person in South San Francisco.

 

Who we’re looking for

In addition to deep experience and exceptional abilities in surgical tool and procedure development, you should have experience in at least one of the following areas:

Design, assembly, and manufacturing of other medical devices

Mechanical test development

Preclinical testing

Packaging and sterilization

Development of surgical targeting systems

Image analysis

Product management

Vendor management

You should also have:

The desire to get your hands dirty: drive CAD, fabricate prototypes, write code, etc.

Cross-disciplinary knowledge of disciplines like biomedical engineering, materials science, biology, medical imaging, or software engineering

Deep understanding of fundamental MechE principles

A track record of swift execution

Experience bringing implantable devices to market is a bonus.

Neurotechnology experience is not necessary.
