BCI Software Team Lead

Responsibilities

• Lead and mentor a team of 5–8 engineers while actively contributing to the codebase
• Own system architecture and technical direction for real-time BCI application software
• Design and maintain low-latency, high-reliability streaming signal-processing pipelines
• Ensure deterministic performance across CPU, GPU, and/or FPGA-accelerated components
• Drive software readiness for clinical studies, trials, and regulated device environments
• Partner closely with neuroscientists, hardware, firmware, and regulatory teams to translate research into production-grade systems

Requirements

• 10+ years of software engineering experience, including at least 3 years in engineering management
• Proven track record of shipping production software in real-time, embedded, or safety-critical domains
• Experience developing software within a regulated medical device environment (e.g., ISO 13485, FDA QSR/QMSR, or IEC 62304)
• Proficiency in Python for data pipelines, test automation, and prototyping
• Experience with real-time or embedded software development
• Knowledge of high-performance compute for low-latency signal processing using GPU (CUDA, Metal, OpenCL) or FPGA

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior experience building software for brain-computer interfaces or neural recording systems
• Experience supporting FDA submissions (IDE, 510(k), De Novo) in a technical leadership role
• Deep understanding of real-time and multi-threaded systems, including kernel-level performance tuning
• Experience in startup or deep-tech environments with rapidly shifting priorities
