Live and work in NYC or California: open call for Aussie Machine Learning Engineers and Scientists interested in working with BCI

Department:
Precision

Location:
Relocation to NYC from Sydney, Australia

Compensation:
$150,000 - $300,000 / year

Description
Precision Neuroscience is a US-based company pioneering a brain implant, known as a brain-computer interface (BCI), to restore communication and independence for people with neurological conditions. Our cutting-edge technology is designed to empower people with paralysis to control digital devices—such as computers and smartphones—with their thoughts alone, opening new possibilities for daily life.

Precision's multidisciplinary team brings together leading experts in diverse fields such as neurosurgery, artificial intelligence, machine learning, microfabrication, electrical engineering, and more. We are committed to turning breakthrough scientific advancements into real-world solutions for people affected by conditions such as spinal cord injury, stroke, and ALS.

As a Precision employee, you will be joining one of the fastest-moving and best-capitalized companies in the emerging field of BCI. Since our founding in 2021, Precision has secured over $155 million in funding, developed and validated our technology, and initiated human trials in collaboration with some of the nation's top hospitals.

We are seeking motivated and technically rigorous
Machine Learning Engineers and Scientists to work in our NYC or Santa Clara (California) offices
with a deep passion for neurotechnology and human-centered AI. Experienced in building real-time, robust ML systems that interpret high-dimensional neural data.

In this role you will bring cross-disciplinary expertise to the intersection of machine learning, signal processing, neuroscience, and biomedical engineering. We are looking for people who thrive in fast-paced, collaborative environments, with a track record of translating research into working systems that impact lives. This is an exciting opportunity to work on complex technical challenges at the intersection of neuroscience and computing, from real-time neural signal processing to intuitive user interfaces that help patients regain their independence.

Machine Learning positions are based in our Manhattan or Santa Clara (California) offices. Precision Neuroscience supports sponsorship of the E3 visa (available to Australian citizens).
