Job Description

Seeking a Lead Data Scientist to join our team. This position will be responsible for deriving new tools and theories to improve our data analysis platform. You will participate in cutting-edge research in AI/ML applications for neurotechnology.

The ideal candidate should be comfortable with creative problem solving in a startup environment. If you like tinkering, are curious by nature, consider yourself a technologist or someone who thinks several steps ahead then you will fit in well with our team.

This is a unique opportunity for a passionate individual about innovation in neuroscience, machine learning, and AI. This is a fast-paced, collaborative, and iterative environment requiring quick learning, agility, and flexibility. Your work will directly contribute to an evolutionary milestone in the field of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs).

Key Duties

• • Participate in cutting edge research in AI/ML applications for neurotechnology
  • Manage science backlog and roadmap
  • Communicate with internal teams and external stakeholders
  • Define experiments, provide scientific guidance, and help the engineering team throughout R&D and Product life cycles
  • Build prototypes and algorithms in Matlab or Python
  • Review prototypes and algorithms written by other engineers
  • Manage and contribute to grant applications, studies, and projects

Requirements

• • PhD/MD in Cognitive or Computational Neuroscience, Applied Mathematics/Statistics, Computer Science, Electrical and/or Biomedical Engineering with experience in brain-computer interfaces or neuroengineering
  • 5-10+ years designing experiments to investigate the neural correlates of perception, action, or cognition using human or animal models
  • Experience in designing cognitive/behavioral tasks and conducting lab-oriented research
  • Expertise in statistical and signal processing, linear algebra, time-frequency analysis, machine learning, and their application to multivariate biometric and neuroimaging datasets
  • Fluent in numerical computing and proficient in various programming languages (e.g., C, Python, Matlab, ML and deep learning toolboxes)
  • Prior experience and continued interest in mentorship and technical development of junior data scientists
  • Ability to solve problems that have not been solved, in other words, a willingness to explore the unknown and ability to make progress
  • Ability to embrace uncertainty when working on challenging research questions
  • Knowledge of perceptual/behavioral evaluations and physiological measurement is desired
  • Hardware and software experience with multimodal data acquisition, instrumentation, and human-machine interfaces is a plus
