Platform Engineer
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
As a Platform Engineer at Paradromics you’ll be developing and maintaining systems to automate and accelerate engineering and data science efforts across our research and development team. These systems span needs across hardware in the loop testing, data collection/curation, and data science pipelines.
