Posted on Oct 8, 2025
At Precision Neuroscience, we are building a direct connection between the human brain and computers to benefit millions of people worldwide living with devastating neurological conditions, including stroke, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, and neurodegenerative disease such as ALS.
We are seeking a Vice President of Software Engineering to lead the team developing and delivering medical device software and systems that collect, process, and analyze large quantities of high-resolution neural data. These systems make information accessible and actionable to both clinicians and patients, often integrating directly with our advanced hardware.
This is an extraordinary opportunity to lead all aspects of our software product lifecycle, including early R&D projects, formal verification and validation testing, and commercial deployment. The software products you will lead are core to the functioning of high-performance implantable brain-computer interfaces necessary to restore function and independence to patients with debilitating neurologic impairments. You will also play a key role in integrating cutting-edge machine learning algorithms developed by our R&D ML teams into our software platforms.
Here at Precision, you will be joining a well-capitalized and fast-moving company and collaborating with experts across a diversity of fields - including neurosurgery, mechanical engineering, machine learning, and microfabrication - all working together to push the boundaries of what is possible to enable these patients to regain their independence and autonomy.
This position is on-site at our Mountain View (CA) or New York (NY) location. We are unable to consider candidates who are not currently in the United States with working rights.
