Job description

About Nudge

At Nudge, our mission is to develop the best technology for interfacing with the brain to improve people's lives. We're starting with an approach that we believe can help the most people the fastest, and also allow us to learn as much about the brain as possible: developing a non-invasive, ultrasound-based device that can stimulate and image the brain at high resolution and depth. This is a vertically integrated effort building cutting-edge hardware, software, and research capabilities to create products that can benefit millions — and eventually billions — of people.

To succeed, we need to assemble world-class teams across everything we do. We hire people who are exceptional at their craft, believe hard things are worth doing, and execute relentlessly — people who expect the highest levels of both rigor and integrity from each other.

About the role

As an ultrasound engineer at Nudge, you will:

  • Improve acoustic models of transducer arrays and subject-specific acoustic properties with feedback from benchtop and clinical testing

  • Evaluate the devices for both safety and performance considerations

  • Inform the design of next-generation devices through modeling and prototype testing

  • Develop software and algorithms for signal processing, beamforming, holography, and imaging

About you

We are looking for engineers of all levels but regardless of your career level, you should have:

  • Strong engineering / physics first principles

  • Experience with ultrasound metrology

  • Experience with acoustic modeling software

  • Strong understanding of biomedical applications of ultrasound

  • A PhD in a relevant engineering discipline

  • A demonstrated history of exceptional technical contribution

  • High integrity and strong professional judgement
