Job Description
Who we are
Integral is building technologies to treat neurological and psychiatric disorders.
Our first device is a miniaturized, implanted, deep-brain interface for severely affected patients. It will have unprecedented capabilities for recording and modulating neural activity and for monitoring patientsโ symptoms.
This device will dramatically advance our ability to treat brain disorders and to understand their biological causes. We will use this unique discovery platform to develop an expanding range of more effective treatments that will ultimately be accessible to everyone.
Cofounders:
- Eyal, Head of Engineering: Electrical engineering and R&D leader in medtech, biotech, and robotics for 15-years across industry and academia
- Flip, CSO: UCSF Prof. Emeritus and Neuralink cofounder; neuroscientist and neural engineer
- Milan, CEO: Neurotech venture builder formerly at Convergent Research; previously AI researcher and software engineer
We prioritize ambitious engineering, speed, and patients' needs.
What youโll do
Youโll be the founding member of Integral's ASIC team.
You'll be responsible for developing from scratch and shipping the core ICs around which our first implant will be built: chips for neural recording and stimulation that achieve state-of-the-art miniaturization, power efficiency, and channel count, designed to meet the highest standards of reliability, safety, and supply chain resilience.
Who weโre looking for
You should have substantial skills and expertise in at least one of the following areas:
- Recording front-end development
- Low-noise, low-bandwidth preamplifier design
- Low-power, low-sampling-rate ADC design
- Signal conditioning filter design, including switched capacitor filters
- Noise suppression, correlated double sampling/chopper stabilization
- Analog mux/demux design
- Stimulation engine development
- Charge pumping or voltage boosting
- Boost converters, switched capacitor and/or inductor based
- Current-steering DAC design
- Analog mux/demux design
- Reconstruction filters for DAC output
- Power conditioning
- Voltage regulators, including switched capacitor converters
- Boost converters, switched capacitor and/or inductor based
- Voltage reference design
- On-chip biosignal processing
- Familiar with processing neural signals on-chip
- Artifact rejection techniques for stimulation and record systems
- Data compression techniques
- Interchip data interfaces
- Experience in drivers, receivers, and SerDes for interchip communication
You should also have:
- Taken at least one mixed-signal IC through ideation, design, tape-out, and test/bring-up
- A track record of swift execution
- (Bonus) Designed ASICs in heavily regulated industries
Neurotechnology experience is not necessary.
