Auricle

Auricle is developing a next-generation neurostimulation implant to restore hearing and the ability to understand speech in the millions of people who no longer benefit from acoustic amplification with hearing aids but who aren’t prepared to take on the risks of a cochlear implant. We’re searching for a full-time engineer to join our founding team. Our device and prototypes are partly mechanical, electrical and software so we’ll need someone who can wear multiple hats but is comfortable primarily in the mechanical domain as we execute on early clinical and pre-clinical studies. Experience with rapid prototyping using 3D printing, CAD and bench models is a must. Experience of medical device development within a quality management system and developing pre-clinical models would be highly valued. Bonus points for electrical engineering experience, programming experience (Python/Matlab) and a passion for auditory science. More than anything, we’re looking for someone who will be highly motivated to help bring a complex but life changing device to patients. We’re a small team formed out of Stanford and is backed by YC (W21), based out of Fogarty Innovation in Mountain View. The role is primarily in-person with very occasional travel to study site(s) but there may be some flexibility for hybrid work.
