Head of Manufacturing / Microfabrication, Brain-Computer Interfaces

About Us

FUTRUE Neurosciences – An unlimited mind. With our new venture within the FUTRUE Group, we are pursuing a clear mission: We develop the leading generation of brain-computer interfaces by 2030.

As part of the FUTRUE Group, we have strong financial resources and a proven track record – from the first medical device for irritable bowel syndrome to the first opioid substitute for chronic pain. We turn scientific vision into clinical reality.
We collaborate with leading research institutions worldwide and publish our results in the most prestigious international journals, including Nature and The Lancet.

Today, FUTRUE is one of the fastest-growing healthcare companies in the world. To advance and further expand our new venture, we are looking for outstanding talents to support us in our mission.

Does this sound exciting to you? Then apply now! We look forward to getting to know you.

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 get things done, and we do it fast! You will join a top management board made up of accomplished entrepreneurs, former consultants, and experienced industry leaders. We offer you an environment in which you can develop personally and professionally like never before.
