About the role
From the employer’s listing · Paradromics · posted 2 October 2026
Paradromics is building a high bandwidth brain-machine interface for clinical use. The implant we built is restoring function to patients by streaming out neural data from specific brain regions in real time, which we convert to e.g. speech using machine learning. Check out our recent article in the NYT: https://archive.ph/C6CRb . We're looking for help in further developing and hardening our embedded Linux components, which work in tandem with FPGAs and our custom ASICs to read out neural data. Some of the ongoing efforts are: HIL testing on real devices, integrating new sensor ASICs, maintaining our Yocto build system, exploratory work on prototypes, improving our clinical UX, and improving the core code that receives and massages data. The code is largely written in Rust with a little Typescript, (and bash, and bitbake recipes, etc). You'll be expected to have experience constructing reliable and understandable software in Linux, and some level of experience in building and interacting with embedded hardware. Rust experience is ideal but not necessary. We're not looking for a specific number of YoE, but for motivated and hungry engineers who want to push the frontier of brain-machine interfaces.
