About Paradromics
Brain-related illness is one of the last great frontiers in medicine, not because the brain is unknowable, but because it has been inaccessible. Paradromics is building a brain-computer interface (BCI) platform that records brain activity at the highest possible resolution: the individual neuron. AI algorithms then decode this massive amount of brain-data, enabling the seamless translation of thought into treatments.
Our first clinical application, the Connexus® BCI, will help people who are unable to speak, due to ALS, spinal cord injuries and stroke, to communicate independently through digital devices. However, the capabilities of our BCI platform go far beyond our first application. With the brain in direct communication with digital devices, we can leverage technology to transform how we treat conditions ranging from sensory and motor deficits to untreatable mental illness.
The Role
We are seeking a Process Engineer – Motion Systems to own and advance critical in-house manufacturing processes driven by G-code, Automation1, and Python, including laser and EDM systems. This role will focus on improving yield, reliability, and throughput through both independent and cross-functional process improvement efforts.
You will also play a key role in investigating non-conformances, qualifying equipment, and enabling automation across manufacturing workflows where motion systems can replace manual processes.
Responsibilities
- Own and optimize motion-controlled manufacturing processes, including EDM and laser systems
- Develop, troubleshoot, and improve G-code programs and motion system performance
- Lead process improvement initiatives to increase yield, reliability, and cycle time
- Investigate and disposition non-conformances using structured root cause methodologies
- Collaborate cross-functionally to automate manual processes using motion systems
- Support equipment qualification activities (IQ/OQ/PQ) where applicable
- Write and maintain Python scripts for process automation, data analysis, and system integration
Required Education
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Industrial Systems Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related field
Required Qualifications
- Hands-on experience with Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM)
- Proficiency in G-code and multi-axis motion systems (e.g., Aerotech, PI)
- Experience writing and debugging Python scripts for automation or data analysis
- Proven track record of driving yield or process improvements using structured methodologies (DOE, 8D, 5-Why, Ishikawa)
- Experience with data analysis, including data extraction, cleaning, and statistical evaluation
- Background in a regulated manufacturing environment (e.g., MedTech, Aerospace), including handling non-conformance reports
- Demonstrated ownership of a manufacturing process or production line
- Strong cross-functional communication skills
Preferred Qualifications
- Hands-on experience with laser processing (cutting or ablation)
- Experience automating inspection or test processes using motion systems
- Familiarity with equipment qualification processes (IQ/OQ/PQ)

What We Do
ENABLING NEUROTECHNOLOGY Paradromics’ Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) platform records brain activity at the highest possible resolution: the individual neuron. Our AI algorithms decode this massive amount of brain-data, enabling the seamless translation of thought into treatments. THE MISSION Data-driven BCI-based technologies for brain health Our technology will help millions with unmet medical needs suffering from paralysis and movement disorders to chronic pain, addiction, depression and other mental health conditions. ABOUT Matt Angle Ph.D. (CEO) founded Paradromics to build a high-data-rate BCI platform capable of addressing critical unmet clinical needs. With early funding from the NIH and DARPA, the company developed its core neurotechnology and, by 2019, shifted focus to its first product: the Connexus® BCI. Connexus is designed to restore communication through text, synthesized speech, and computer control for people with severe motor impairments, including those caused by ALS, stroke, or spinal cord injury. Backed by two FDA Breakthrough Device Designations and a successful first-in-human recording in May 2025, Paradromics is now preparing to launch a clinical trial in late 2025 to evaluate the long-term safety and participant benefits of their first product, the Connexus BCI.
