Experimental Neuroengineer

Engineering     ·     Remote with Regular Travel Between Montreal and Minneapolis    ·    Full time

Description

Who we are:

BIOS is unlocking the potential of the nervous system in treating chronic disease by using AI-powered neural interfaces that can automatically read and write neural signals. The human nervous system carries vast quantities of data and scientists have long known that faulty signals in the nervous system play a key role in driving chronic diseases. By understanding and correcting these signals in real time, BIOS can treat chronic illnesses in an effective, automated, and personalised way, leading to seamlessly experienced healthcare. BIOS utilises its proprietary breakthroughs in AI and Machine Learning to translate the “language” of the nervous system for the first time. BIOS’ neural code is built on the world’s largest proprietary neural data set and is already in use clinically to enhance data from wearables used in remote chronic disease care.

BIOS is made up of a wide range of experts from neuroscience, machine learning, software engineering, applied biomaterials, biotechnology, medicine, and business and operations. The combined experience of the BIOS team extends to over 300 peer-reviewed publications, 10+ first of kind medical devices, and 6k+ clinical procedures.

We are looking for people who will fit into our diverse, fun and stimulating company team culture, who are focused on overcoming challenges, and want to grow along with the company. We are especially looking for candidates that share our values: enjoy solving hard problems; bring a unique perspective but become an active part of the BIOS team; respect what matters and do what’s right; and enjoy the challenge.

The role:

This is a remote role based in North America, with regular travel required between Montreal, Canada and Minneapolis, US.

This Experimental Neuroengineer will provide on-site BIOS resource during neural interface experiments conducted at third party CRO’s, and is primarily responsible for the successful execution of preclinical investigations. The role will provide technical support to veterinary staff of on-site BIOS hardware & software systems. BIOS performs preclinical investigations in both Montreal and Minneapolis, therefore this role will require regular travel between these locations.

The successful candidate will have the opportunity to grow in many potential directions (such as within experimental neuroscience, machine learning and data science, trial protocol formulation, hardware design, or preclinical surgical expertise) depending on candidate career aspirations. Initially, the role will focus on:

• Executing trial protocols at partner contract research organizations
• On-site technical-surgical liaison between BIOS and partner CROs
• Planning, preparing and carrying out system tests of BIOS research devices
• Following up and assisting on longitudinal trials
• Verifying and finalizing collected data to create reports from each trial

Requirements

You’ll be a great fit for this role if you have:

• A bachelor’s degree or higher in biomedical engineering, neuroscience, electrical engineering, or relevant field
• Participated in non-human mammal surgeries, preferably larger than rodents
• Experience in electrophysiology, preferably neuro-electrophysiology
• Experience in troubleshooting/debugging custom electronic/software
• The capability to interact with multiple disciplines such as veterinarians, software and hardware engineers, physiologists

It’s ideal if you have experience/interest in:

• GLP and medical devices
• Operating system configuration, data transfer, coding, data analysis
• Working for a neuromodulation company

Benefits

At BIOS, you have the opportunity to shape your career, take on new challenges, and enjoy the flexibility and support you need to help you thrive. As well as a competitive salary and company share options, we offer a comprehensive benefits package that promotes positive health and wellbeing, financial stability, life:work balance and professional development.
