Help make EEG as routine as ECG.

Join Tidal Neuro as a founding engineer and shape our technology from the first prototype onward. You’ll work directly with the founders and leading clinicians and researchers to build an EEG and physiological-data acquisition platform for clinical research, with a path toward broader clinical use.

Collaborators include National Medal of Science recipient Dr. Emery Brown and Dr. Kai Kuck. Our planned base at the University of Utah’s Center for Medical Innovation offers equipped prototyping workshops and proximity to hospital and research partners.

What you’ll own

Hardware prototyping, PCB design and bring-up, and embedded firmware.

EEG acquisition, physiological-monitor integration, and reliable signal synchronization.

Testing, verification, and engineering documentation, with quality and patient safety guiding development.

Over multiple years, as the product and company grow, your role can expand into small-batch production, supply chain, nationwide research deployments, and customized systems for universities and hospitals.

What you’ll bring

Strong embedded C/C++ and hands-on electronics development.

PCB design, board bring-up, and hardware-debugging experience.

Experience developing or certifying medical devices.

Biosignal acquisition, low-noise analog electronics, Python/Linux, and physiological-monitor integration are valuable. We welcome thoughtful use of AI tools, backed by scientific rigor and accountable engineering judgment.

A founding stake

The starting package offers flexibility between salary and equity. Compensation will be reviewed as responsibilities, financing, and revenue evolve, with opportunities for performance-based stock option bonuses.
