Staff Product Development Engineer About Paradromics Brain-related illness is one of the last great frontiers in medicine, not because the brain is unknowable, but because it has been inaccessible.

Paradromics is building a brain-computer interface (BCI) platform that records brain activity at the highest possible resolution :

  • the individual neuron.
  • AI algorithms then decode this massive amount of brain-data, enabling the seamless translation of thought into treatments.
  • Our first clinical application, the Connexus® BCI, will help people who are unable to speak, due to ALS, spinal cord injuries, and stroke, to communicate independently through digital devices.
  • However, the capabilities of our BCI platform go far beyond our first application.
  • With the brain in direct communication with digital devices, we can leverage technology to transform how we treat conditions ranging from sensory and motor deficits to untreatable mental illness.
  • The Role We are seeking a Staff Product Development Engineer to join our Product Development team in Austin, TX.
  • Reporting to the Senior Director of Product Development, this individual will be a key contributor in maturing our Connexus system from early feasibility through clinical readiness and launch.

  • Establish, implement, and embed medical device best practices across the engineering team.
  • Ensure all designs, documentation, and processes align with FDA, ISO, and industry standards.
  • Required Education Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related technical discipline.
  • Required Qualifications Minimum 8 years of medical device development experience, preferably in the active implantables space.
