Jobs at Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Lead human-translation and indication-prioritization for a non-surgical wireless nano-electronic neural implant platform. Select beach-head indication, build regulatory and clinical strategies (FDA, EU MDR, ROW), drive milestone plans from GLP/preclinical to pivotal trials and approval, and coordinate KOL, payer, and commercialization activities.

Design, simulate, fabricate, and characterize nano/micro-electronic devices (diodes, transistors, MEMS) for wireless brain stimulation implants using cleanroom tools and optimize devices for biomedical applications.

Conduct transdisciplinary research to develop autonomous, non-surgical sub-cellular brain implants. Apply knowledge from applied physics, nanoelectronics, materials science, or bioengineering, learn neurotechnology and biology, and contribute to device development and translation toward clinical applications.

Hands-on role performing in vitro neural recordings from cultured neurons (patch clamp, MEA, calcium imaging), neuron culture, electrical modeling (Hodgkin-Huxley), and data analysis. Contribute to studies of neuromodulation and neural plasticity and collaborate on experimental design and interpretation.

Design, build, and deploy scalable ML pipelines for multimodal neuroscience data. Research, train, and deploy advanced deep learning and reinforcement learning models to predict brain states, detect pathological patterns, and generate personalized neuromodulation parameters. Select AI frameworks and cloud infrastructure, collaborate with computational neuroscientists, and contribute to IP and publications.

Design, simulate, fabricate, and characterize micro- and nano-electronic devices for wireless brain stimulation. Perform cleanroom photolithography, thin-film deposition, etching, and electrical/material characterization. Collaborate with biomedical partners to explore implant applications.

Manage lab infrastructure and equipment, ensure BSL-2 and EHS compliance, prepare IACUC/IBC protocols, support grant writing, patent filings, budgeting, and supervise lab administrative operations while coordinating with engineers on custom equipment and facilities needs.

Design, simulate, fabricate and characterize micro/nano neural electrodes and interfaces using cleanroom facilities. Perform electrochemical characterization (CV, EIS, voltage transients), failure/degradation testing, and explore biomedical implant applications. Support in vitro/in vivo recording and stimulation assessments and electrophysiology data analysis.

Write high-impact scientific content (grants, white papers, technical briefs), support NIH/NSF/DoD/DARPA grant preparation and budgeting, assist with patent drafting and prior art research, create investor and scientific strategy materials, perform scientific and competitive research, and collaborate across science, engineering, and business teams to shape R&D roadmap and prepare research slides.

Remote administrative operations role for engineering graduates managing purchase workflows, invoices, bookkeeping (QuickBooks), scheduling, documentation (Google Workspace, DocuSign), vendor coordination, basic financial reporting, and supporting leadership with scientific writing, grants, patents, and presentations. Work U.S. business hours with cross-functional teams at a deep-tech startup.
