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 Research Team at Nudge is innovating on multiple frontiers in neuroscience and neurotechnology, and is primarily focused on developing ultrasound-based neuromodulation to treat conditions like depression, chronic pain and addiction as well as enhance the wellbeing of healthy people. We’re also building the first scalable, portable hardware for noninvasive structural ultrasound-based imaging the quality of an MRI. The team is running human trials for neuromodulation and developing algorithms that will enable on-device imaging.

About the role

• Work closely with the Head of Research as well as members of the research and engineering teams on the design and execution of TUS research protocols
