Senior Mechanical Engineer Jobs

Interaxon (Muse) is a consumer and B2B medical neurotechnology company specializing in brain computer interfaces (BCIs) through the production of its research-grade EEG headbands, Muse. The Muse headband uses EEG sensors to monitor brain activity and provide real-time feedback to users about their mental state, including their level of focus, relaxation, and stress. It has been used by researchers, mental health & rehabilitation clinics, universities and sport teams to improve mindfulness, mental health practices, sleep and support neuroscience research and innovation.

Interaxon is known to be the largest EEG datasets in the world, with +1 billion minutes of brain data. Muse has been used in over 200 published clinical research studies, including Mayo Clinic, NASA, Harvard and MIT.Interaxon is headquartered in Toronto, Canada

Responsibilities:

• Set up equipment, processes and methodologies as necessary
• Drive the development activities from concept to high volume manufacturing
• Understand the broad engineering constraints (inc electrical, mechanical, firmware, sensor) and rapidly iterate through mechanical designs
• Coordinate with a diverse set of cross-site technical contributors, including internal teams, the factory, sub-contractors and vendors to successfully solve engineering challenges and transition the system into high volume manufacturing
• Develop criteria to evaluate and qualify components and technologies for inclusion in product development
• Lead and contribute to the design, development, prototyping and test activities for the mechanical systems that go into Interaxon’s wearable systems that meet or exceed reliability targets
• Physically prototype and test ideas rapidly
