Full Job Description
About the role

As a computational neuroscientist, you will develop new tools and techniques for understanding our data, extracting as much signal out as possible, and improving our technology stack. You'll be responsible for running and analyzing experiments using our system, interpreting results to inform future data collection, and improving our decoding algorithms. This role will feature hands-on work with our basic signals coming off custom hardware all the way up to studying performance scaling across large numbers of people

This position is full time, on-site in San Francisco (5 days/week)
What you'll do
  • Design, implement, and test algorithms for data feature extraction from bio-signals for use in machine learning models.
  • Rapid iteration on experiments for evaluating new hardware prototypes, data collection improvements, and to gain understanding of key aspects of our system.
  • Develop analytical tools for visualizing and understanding data quality.
  • Work with hardware and electrical engineers to improve the overall sensing stack
Requirements
  • PhD in neuroscience, biomedical engineering, machine learning, computer science, or related fields (or equivalent industry experience).
  • Fluency in Python and PyTorch.
  • Ability to collaborate effectively across different teams and rapidly adapt to new fields.
  • Experience with dimensionality reduction techniques and time series data analysis.
  • Independent work ethic, flexibility, and resourcefulness.
  • Effective communication and collaboration skills.
  • Comfortable in fast moving startup environment, excited to build independently.
Strong candidates may have
  • Strong familiarity with real-time human-machine interaction, ranging from automatic speech recognition to closed-loop neural interfaces.
  • Expertise with motor control, communication prostheses, and/or speech neuroscience.
  • Worked on consumer wearable devices.
  • Machine learning infrastructure familiarity: experiment management tracking (e.g. Hydra, WandB, Neptune) and AWS/GCP.
Compensation Range

$160,000 - $180,000/year

Benefits
  • Competitive equity package
  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • Company size: 20-30 people
  • Unlimited PTO
  • Visa sponsorship
  • 3% 401k matching
