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-level validation strategies to characterize actuator dynamics, sensor fidelity, and closed-loop system performance. - Lead debugging and root-cause analysis across mechanical, electrical, firmware, and controls domains, driving rapid resolution of complex integration challenges. - Drive technical decision-making for system reliability, manufacturability, and performance optimization across prototype and pre-production hardware. Technical Leadership & Cross-Functional Execution - Serve as a technical lead for electromechanical integration efforts, mentoring junior engineers and guiding subsystem development and validation activities. - Establish engineering processes, documentation standards, and test methodologies to improve development efficiency and system robustness. - Partner with cross-functional stakeholders to define technical requirements, integration milestones, and validation criteria for next-generation robotic systems. - Support vendor selection, component evaluation, and design tradeoff analysis for sensors, actuators, embedded hardware, and integration tooling. - Contribute to long-term platform strategy, including scalable hardware architectures, reliability improvements, and transition pathways from R&D prototypes to deployable systems. Prototyping & Hardware Development - Lead rapid prototyping, iteration, and validation of electromechanical assemblies, actuator systems, and sensor-integrated hardware. - Design and oversee development of wiring harnesses, cable management systems, test fixtures, and integration tooling for complex robotic systems. - Drive hardware bring-up, integration testing, and verification activities across multidisciplinary system components. - Support development of scalable assembly and integration processes for future production-ready systems. Qualifications - Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Robotics, or
