Full Job Description
About Us Epia Neuro is a neural technology company developing intent-driven systems designed to restore function and independence for people living with neurological conditions. Its platform integrates implantable neural interfaces, adaptive algorithms, and assistive devices to translate neural intent into real-world action. The company’s initial focus is stroke-related motor impairment, with expansion into cognitive decline and other neurological disorders, focusing on long-term solutions for the growing aging population. The Role We’re looking for a Staff Robotics Hardware Engineer who will bring robotics experience, a hands-on approach, and deep technical knowledge. As a Staff Robotics Hardware Engineer, you will report to the Robotics Manager and be responsible for collaborating with Mechanical, Electrical, and Controls Engineers to design and develop a hand exoskeleton system, bringing it from a benchtop prototype to clinical study readiness. Location This role is based out of the San Francisco Bay Area and expected to work on site from our Alameda Headquarters. How We Work - We are intentional. We prioritize and are thoughtful about how we use others’ time. - We care for others. We prioritize safety both for patients and one another. - We own outcomes, not just tasks. Our work demands the highest standards because it impacts real patients and real lives. - Humility is a strength. We are honest about what we know and what we don’t know. Getting it right matters more than being right. What You’ll Do Electromechanical System Architecture, Integration & Validation - Lead the architecture, integration, and validation of complex electromechanical systems for robotic exoskeleton platforms, including actuators, sensors, embedded electronics, and control subsystems. - Own end-to-end development of actuator modules and sensor-integrated subsystems from concept through prototype, system integration, and validation. - Define and execute comprehensive benchtop and system-l
