Job description

As a Machine Learning Scientist, you will develop cutting-edge AI models to integrate and decode complex, multimodal data streams from our custom sensing hardware. You’ll play a pivotal role in advancing our technology stack by building and optimizing models for real-time applications. This position spans foundational research in deep learning, hands-on model development, and applying algorithms to scale across diverse data sources and users., * Design and implement state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms for processing multimodal biosignals, including time series, spatial, and spectral data.

  • Build and optimize neural network architectures.
  • Develop and evaluate multimodal learning techniques to fuse information from multiple sensor modalities.
  • Iterate rapidly on model prototypes for real-time inference on custom hardware.
  • Create and maintain a robust evaluation framework for benchmarking model performance across datasets and participants.
  • Collaborate closely with a diverse team, including hardware engineers, neuroscientists, and product, to align models with user needs.

Requirements

  • PhD in computer science, machine learning, computational neuroscience, or related fields (or equivalent industry experience).
  • Expertise in deep learning frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow) and fluency in Python.
  • Track record of publishing or deploying machine learning models in real-world systems.
  • Independent work ethic, flexibility, and resourcefulness.
  • Effective communication and collaboration skills.
  • Comfortable in fast moving startup environment, excited to build independently, * Familiarity with human-machine interaction systems such as automatic speech recognition or neural interfaces.
  • Hands-on experience with consumer wearables or custom hardware.
  • Knowledge of low-latency inference techniques and model optimization for edge devices.

Benefits & conditions

  • Competitive equity package
  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • Unlimited PTO
  • Visa sponsorship
  • 4% 401k matching
