Software Engineer

About Paradromics Brain-related illness is one of the last great frontiers in medicine, not because the brain is unknowable, but because it has been inaccessible. 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.

Our first clinical application, the Connexus® BCI, will help people who are unable to speak, due to ALS, spinal cord injuries, and stroke, to communicate independently through digital devices. However, the capabilities of our BCI platform go far beyond our first application. With the brain in direct communication with digital devices, we can leverage technology to transform how we treat conditions ranging from sensory and motor deficits to untreatable mental illness.

The Role

As a Software Engineer at Paradromics, you’ll work closely with our team of Scientists and Engineers to develop software that enables our clinical applications. You will help design software to restore communication ability for our BCI users, 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

Required Education

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field; or equivalent real world experience
