Director, Systems Engineering

Job Description

About the Company

At Presidio Medical, we are transforming the way neuromodulation balances the human nervous system and are striving to end the cycle of unnecessary pain and help patients live their best lives.

Presidio’s Ultra Low Frequency (ULF™) Neuromodulation System blends innovative circuit design, computational modeling, material science advancements and expertise in neuroscience and electrochemistry. Our therapy is designed to target localized pain by reducing neuronal responses.3 Suppression of these signals may ease pain for some patients suffering from nociceptive pain.

Our focus is to break the cycle of constrained thinking about chronic nociceptive pain. Our goal is to create a world with less suffering — one that may offer relief to patients who have had limited therapeutic options.
