Research Technician

About the role

As a Research Technician, you will own the neural data collection infrastructure that makes our research possible. You'll be the primary point of contact for study participants, running day-to-day EEG experiments with precision and care while ensuring our datasets meet the quality standards required for cutting-edge deep learning research. You will work hands-on with EEG hardware and experimental workflows, sitting at the intersection of human interaction and high-throughput data collection - directly enabling the neural decoding breakthroughs our team is pursuing.

Responsibilities

• Operate EEG hardware in a research or clinical setting
• Ensure daily and weekly data collection throughput targets are met
• Log, track, and report technical events affecting data integrity
• Implement corrective actions quickly, even under time pressure
• Work across a multidisciplinary team of software engineers, neuroscientists, and AI researchers
• Adaptability and wearing multiple hats in a fast-paced startup environment
• Familiarity with Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines and standards for participant-facing research
• Experience administering neuropsychological assessments or cognitive testing protocols
• Active role in building and executing end-to-end participant recruitment and scheduling pipelines
• Exposure to EEG signal quality optimization, including electrode placement, impedance management, and artifact reduction strategies

Requirements

• 1–2+ years of hands-on experience operating EEG hardware in a research or clinical setting
• A Bachelor's or Master's degree in Neuroscience, Psychology, Cognitive Science, or a related field
• Meticulous about data quality and comfortable owning daily and weekly data collection throughput targets
• Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to keep participants calm, focused, and engaged throughout experimental sessions
• Experience troubleshooting workflow bottlenecks independently and implementing corrective actions quickly, even under time pressure
