Description

Precision Neuroscience is pioneering a brain implant, known as a brain-computer interface (BCI), to restore communication and independence for people with neurological conditions. Our cutting-edge technology is designed to empower people with paralysis to control digital devices—such as computers and smartphones—with their thoughts alone, opening new possibilities for daily life.

Precision’s multidisciplinary team brings together leading experts in diverse fields such as neurosurgery, artificial intelligence, machine learning, microfabrication, electrical engineering, and more. We are committed to turning breakthrough scientific advancements into real-world solutions for people affected by conditions such as spinal cord injury, stroke, and ALS.

We are seeking a Staff Software Engineer to join our mission of advancing brain-computer interface technology. As a key member of our team, you will play a crucial role in developing the software systems that enable our revolutionary BCI platform to transform patients' lives. You'll work on complex technical challenges at the intersection of neuroscience and computing, from real-time neural signal processing to intuitive user interfaces that help patients regain their independence.

This position is on-site at least 3 days a week at our Santa Clara, Chicago, Indianapolis or New York offices. We are unable to consider people not currently based in the United States, and who do not have working rights.

Key Responsibilities

  • Software Architecture and Development : Design, implement, and verify cross-platform, scalable applications that are safe, effective, and secure. Create robust architectures that can handle real-time neural data processing while meeting strict safety and regulatory requirements. Deliver solutions that balance technical excellence with pragmatic timelines and budgets.
  • Cross-functional Leadership : Collaborate in agile settings with diverse teams including Product, Firmware, and Machine Learning. Drive technical discussions, mentor junior engineers, and help establish engineering best practices. Present complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Quality and Documentation : Lead technical design reviews and conduct thorough code reviews to ensure high quality standards. Create comprehensive technical documentation including architecture specifications, API documentation, and user guides. Develop and maintain automated testing frameworks.
  • Project Management and Communication : Report regularly to the broader team on project progress, identifying risks early and proposing mitigation strategies. Drive technical decision-making while clearly communicating trade-offs and recommendations. Contribute to regulatory documentation and submissions.
  • Innovation and Research : Thrive in an environment where you'll be breaking new ground in BCI development. Create novel solutions that span multiple disciplines, from real-time neural signal processing to advanced machine learning implementations. Stay at the forefront of rapidly evolving fields including computational neuroscience, digital signal processing, embedded systems, and ML.
  • Team Collaboration : Participate in regular in-person team meetings and potentially travel to clinical sites to better understand user needs and system performance. Build strong relationships with team members across all disciplines.
