About Paradromics

We are building a direct data interface with the brain to provide technology solutions to unmet medical challenges. A revolutionary leap beyond today’s research-grade brain computer interfaces (BCI), our Connexus® Direct Data Interface (DDI) collects neural signals at an industry-leading high data-rate and is designed for long-term daily use. Our first clinical application will enable severely motor-impaired people to communicate and independently use a computer, translating their neural signals into synthesized speech, text, and cursor control. We will continue to expand the capabilities of our massively scalable platform to support a pipeline of future applications that could benefit millions.

The Role

Paradromics is looking for a Sr. Product Development Engineer to contribute to the hardware development of key components of our neural implant system and its associated verification and validation. This work will include the design of implantable medical devices, hermetic packages containing active electronics, and surgical instrumentation, as well as fixtures for developing and improving manufacturing processes and testing components and infrastructure to support verification and validation activities. Coordination with internal and external resources will be required to manufacture prototypes and transfer designs to manufacturing. Close coordination across teams, including others in Engineering, Manufacturing, and Quality will be essential. Therefore, excellent communication and interpersonal skills are crucial to accel in this role. If you like big challenges, working at the frontier of human technology, and have worked high-performance hardware in the past, we would like to hear from you.
