YOUR MISSION WITH US

For our new venture within the FUTRUE Group, we are immediately seeking a Head of Manufacturing / Microfabrication (m/f/d) to develop the leading generation of brain-computer interfaces with us by 2030.

We aim to restore mobility to the paralyzed, sight to the blind, and a voice to the mute, with the goal of fundamentally expanding the potential of the human brain.

Our vision: An unlimited mind.

YOUR TASKS

You will be responsible for the development and manufacturing of the implantable microelectrodes for our brain-computer interfaces.

• Build a high-performing team and take on its disciplinary leadership.
• Design and develop the next generation of our multi-channel electrode arrays; define layouts, geometries, and fabrication processes (sputtering, photolithography, etching, etc.) that directly determine the performance of our implant.
• Evaluate and select substrate and conductor materials that ensure safe, long-term-stable implantation in the brain.
• Characterize our electrodes in the lab (impedance spectroscopy, long-term stability), interpret the results, and derive concrete design changes.
• Scale our fabrication from prototypes to reproducible quality.

YOUR PROFILE

• You bring relevant leadership experience and have the confidence to build and lead a high-performing team.
• You are passionate about shaping the next major innovation in the health-tech sector in an environment with fast decision-making processes.
• You have experience in microfabrication and cleanroom work; ideally with thin-film processing, photolithography, sputtering, RIE, or wet-chemical methods.
• You have knowledge of materials science for implantable systems (e.g., platinum, iridium oxide, PDMS, polyimide, Parylene C) and understand their impact on signal quality and biocompatibility.
• You have an entrepreneurial mindset and think in end-to-end processes, with the goal of transitioning prototypes into scalable manufacturing.
• You have completed your degree or PhD in Neuroengineering, Microsystems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, Biomedical Engineering, or a comparable field, ranking among the top of your class.
• You have a strong drive, the ability to quickly familiarize yourself with new subject areas and can communicate complex matters concisely.
• You are business-fluent in English (min. C1).

OUR PROMISE

We offer you a diverse, challenging job with exciting tasks and a broad spectrum of creative opportunities!
Our innovative environment allows for your professional development with short decision-making paths, responsibility from day one, and the freedom to break new ground. Individual learning and real purpose await you – push the boundaries of what is possible with us!
