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.\n Our first clinical application, the Connexus® BCI, will help people who are unable to speak due to progressive neuromuscular disease and neural injuries such as 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.\n The Role\nThe Field Application Engineer serves as Paradromics’s technical lead for bringing scientific innovations and new BCI applications into the field. A core focus of this role is reducing R&D to practice, and ensuring that real-world clinical learnings are documented, clearly communicated, and translated into system, process, and risk-management improvements. Reporting to the Principal Applied Scientist, this field-based role acts as a critical bridge between the field and engineering teams. The position requires significant travel to clinical sites and the ability to operate independently in high-stakes, participant-facing environments.\n Responsibilities\nScience / engineering feedback loopFacilitate the initiation of new studies and new applications into the field, planning and executing the needed neural data collection and BCI sessions \nCompile and summarize clinical observations, system limitations, and session data analyses for presentation to cross-functional “session triage” teams, contributing new data analyses as needed, to enable iterative system improvements\nDocument \"edge cases\" in neural decoding or hardware performance to harden the system against real-world variability, translating usability challenges into action items for the Science & Engineering teams\n\nTechnical execution & optimizationAssist with Connexus hardware and software setup, updates, and testing both locally and in the field\nAct as the frontline diagnostic expert: triage, escalate, and resolve technical issues, including software bugs, hardware failures, and signal artifacts (noise/impedance issues) in the field\n\nScaling & operational excellenceContribute to the streamlining and automation of session setup, data collection, data analysis, and session triage processes \nDevelop SOPs, field guides, training decks, and onboarding materials for technical and clinical staff, and for participants and caregivers \nCollaborate cross-functionally with Clinical Affairs, Electrical Engineering, and Quality teams to evolve R&D tools into a reliable, medical-grade BCI platform \n\n Required Education\nMaster’s or Doctorate in biomedical engineering, electrical engineering, neuroscience, computer science, computer engineering, or a related technical field (or equivalent hands-on experience in neurotechnology)\n Required Qualifications\nHands-on experience conducting data collection with biosignal recording systems, ideally neural signals with human participants \nComfort with R&D hardware/software and experience contributing to iterative system improvements \nProficiency in Python for time series data analysis (ideally, experience analyzing multi-channel neural signals from BCIs or EEG/ECoG/MEA systems, and experience with basic ML)\nClear communication across disciplines; e.g., ability to explain technical concepts to clinicians and clinical realities to engineers, and to distill information relevant to participants and caregivers\nDemonstrated calm, judgment, and professionalism in high-pressure environments; high EQ\nHigh ownership and accountability\nTrusted to represent the company in the field and to make appropriate decisions within defined guardrails\n Preferred Qualifications\nHands-on technical experience supporting neurotechnology development with human participants \nExperience working with individuals with motor disabilities\nEarly feasibility or first-in-human clinical study experience\nFamiliarity with small-N studies, and heightened safety and regulatory awareness\nWorking knowledge of GCP, protocol adherence, and the role of field staff within regulated clinical studies\nEarly feasibility or first-in-human clinical study experience\nParadromics is an Equal Opportunity Employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4883,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"master","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Neurotech & Neuromodulation"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-29T21:54:42Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 3 · green card filings: 2","filings_12m":3,"filings_prev_12m":1,"green_card_filings_12m":2,"median_offered_wage_usd":99500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-29T16:27:21+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)","US Department of Labor: PERM disclosure data (green cards)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":6,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:5","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-05T05:54:30Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/paradromics-field-application-engineer-paradromics-inc-","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/paradromics-field-application-engineer-paradromics-inc-.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-05T18:35:17Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":24574,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-06T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":63209},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=63209"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fparadromics-field-application-engineer-paradromics-inc-"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fparadromics-field-application-engineer-paradromics-inc-"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fparadromics-field-application-engineer-paradromics-inc-"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/paradromics-field-application-engineer-paradromics-inc-\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fparadromics-field-application-engineer-paradromics-inc-"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3486677}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"paradromics.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3486677},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
