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.
About the team
The engineering team at Nudge works at the intersection of neuroscience, software, machine learning, firmware, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and acoustics. Our team includes engineers who have led development of the surgical robot at Neuralink, built augmented-reality hardware at Apple, and designed parts on SpaceX Starlink satellites. We are scrappy, hands-on, and welcome exceptional individuals who are passionate about their craft and energized by working on impactful, technical challenges.
