## Description

You will be responsible for the software that turns thoughts into actions and serves as the bridge between the implant and the patient.

 * Build a high-performing team and take on its disciplinary leadership.
 * Develop and implement software for real-time acquisition, preprocessing, and decoding of neural signals, as well as targeted stimulation via our implants.
 * Design and optimize decoding algorithms and signal processing pipelines that communicate bidirectionally between brain and device under strict latency and reliability requirements.
 * Build the software architecture for our BCI system: from the implant-facing firmware interface through middleware to the application layer.
 * Work closely with the hardware teams (chip, electrodes) and clinical partners to adapt the software to real-world requirements and improve patients' quality of life.
