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.

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

• Manage participant workflow end to end: recruitment, screening, scheduling, and informed consent.
• Learn and operate neuromodulation and imaging systems, follow SOPs, and maintain equipment logs.
• Contribute to documentation, data quality checks, and analysis to support next-generation neurotechnology development.

Qualifications

• 2+ years of relevant research/clinical/lab experience (academic or industry)
• Bachelor’s degree in a science, math, or engineering field (including neuroscience, cognitive science, psychology, computer science), or equivalent experience
• Demonstrated history of exceptional contributions in your prior work experiences
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills
