Research Engineer

About the role

Paradromics is building a brain-computer interface (BCI) platform that records brain activity at the highest possible resolution: the individual neuron. AI algorithms then decode this massive amount of brain-data, enabling the seamless translation of thought into treatments. As a Research Engineer, you’ll work closely with our team of Scientists and Engineers to develop software that enables our clinical applications, helping design software to restore communication ability for our BCI users and enabling successful clinical studies of the Connexus® System.

Responsibilities

• Develop data curation strategies for user interaction and BCI data
• Realize BCI decoding algorithms as performant software
• Evaluate software with simulated and real neural data, as well as with our BCI hardware in the loop
• Participate in code reviews and contribute to the development of new features and tools
• Work closely with our engineering, neuroscience, and quality teams to identify and capture needs and requirements
• Regularly travel between our Austin and Oakland offices

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field; or equivalent real-world experience
• 3+ years of professional experience relevant to this role
