Jobs at Synchron

Own electrical architecture and low-power FPGA/HDL design for implantable medical electronics, including supervisory safety logic, high-speed sensor communications, inductive charging, RF telemetry, PCB/flex design, and verification. Lead design controls, fault-tolerant safety mechanisms, timing closure, FPGA emulation, EMC testing, failure analysis, and production transfer while collaborating across firmware, silicon, mechanical, systems, and manufacturing teams.

Leads technical development of flexible, polyimide-based microelectrode arrays for long-term neural interfaces. Defines thin-film material stacks, fabrication processes, device architectures, integration strategies, and reliability approaches. Serves as the microfabrication subject matter expert, collaborates across engineering disciplines, evaluates emerging materials and MEMS technologies, and guides the technical roadmap. Manages, mentors, and develops the microfabrication engineering team while overseeing complex multidisciplinary development programs.

Own full-cycle recruiting for Synchron’s technical, clinical, quality, regulatory, manufacturing, and business operations roles. Build pipelines for senior leaders, engineers, and technicians; partner with executives and hiring managers on workforce planning, interviews, offers, and closing. Develop recruiting systems, track hiring metrics, manage agencies, and source candidates across medical device, semiconductor, ASIC, microfabrication, and advanced hardware talent markets.

Own in-house validation of a fabricated neural-recording ASIC’s analog front end. Build bench fixtures, develop test plans, bring up first silicon, characterize noise, CMRR, power, and crosstalk, and support integration with electrode arrays and leads. Document results for verification and design history records while growing into ownership of the characterization test suite. The role requires analog front-end fundamentals, hands-on instrumentation skills, and Python or MATLAB experience, with no professional experience required.

Manage monthly, quarterly, and annual close processes; prepare journal entries, reconciliations, accruals, payroll, expense reports, and financial reporting packages. Analyze financial statements, supervise accounts payable, coordinate audits, support internal controls, and improve accounting processes and systems. The role also supports fixed assets, prepaids, R&D accounting, and special projects in a fast-growing biotech organization.

Leads the end-to-end strategy, architecture, design, verification, validation, and manufacturing transition of ultra-low-power analog/mixed-signal ASICs for implantable neural interfaces. Builds and manages an internal ASIC team, oversees external design and manufacturing partners, owns schedules and budgets, guides circuit design and tape-out decisions, leads first-silicon bring-up, and ensures medical-device design controls, risk analysis, traceability, and quality compliance.

Design and develop miniaturized deployment and unfurling mechanisms for implantable neural electrode arrays. Responsibilities include mechanical architecture, compliant mechanisms, nonlinear FEA, prototype fabrication, experimental testing, material evaluation, reliability analysis, and cross-functional integration with microfabrication, electrical, packaging, and device engineering teams.

Own RF, antenna, inductive power, battery charging, and power management design for implantable electronics from concept through production. Develop COMSOL electromagnetic and thermal models, design RF and power PCBs in Altium, validate wireless and safety performance, and lead regulatory, EMC, battery, and design verification testing. Provide architecture leadership, mentor engineers, and coordinate firmware, FPGA, mechanical, systems, and external design partners.
