About Bridge Neurotech

Bridge Neurotech is building a non-invasive interface for the mind. Our aim is to image the brain's activity using ultrasound without surgery or other modifications to the body. First research study enrolling in Redwood City, California. Backed by General Catalyst.

About the role

We are looking for an Ultrasound Imaging Scientist to own the imaging sequences at the heart of Bridge’s platform: designing, optimizing, and validating the functional ultrasound sequences that run on our probes today and on the custom hardware we are building. This is a hands-on research and development role: the sequences you develop feed directly into our research study, our real-time pipeline, and the neural decoders trained on the data they produce. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • PhD (or equivalent experience) in ultrasound imaging, biomedical engineering, electrical engineering, or a related field
  • Deep, hands-on experience with ultrafast ultrasound: beamforming, plane-wave imaging, and image reconstruction
  • Strong command of the imaging signal-processing stack: IQ demodulation, clutter/SVD filtering, Doppler and power-Doppler methods, autocorrelation
  • Proficiency developing research-grade imaging code (e.g., MATLAB and/or Python) and working directly with probe hardware and research acquisition platforms
  • Comfort operating in a small, fast-moving team on hard, open-ended problems with no established playbook
  • Direct experience with functional ultrasound imaging (fUSI) or transcranial ultrasound
More about this role

Bridge Neurotech is building a non-invasive functional ultrasound imaging (fUSI) platform with AI-based neural decoding for brain-computer interface applications. We are a seed-stage neurotechnology company developing technology that has the potential to transform how we interact with the human brain.

We are looking for an Ultrasound Imaging Scientist to own the imaging sequences at the heart of Bridge’s platform: designing, optimizing, and validating the functional ultrasound sequences that run on our probes today and on the custom hardware we are building. This is a hands-on research and development role: the sequences you develop feed directly into our research study, our real-time pipeline, and the neural decoders trained on the data they produce.

In the near term, you will push transcranial fUSI performance on off-the-shelf research probes, developing and tuning sequences for imaging through sonolucent cranioplasty implants. Working with the Butterfly Network research platform we use today, you will define what "good" acquisition looks like and drive the imaging protocols for our first human research study.

Develop and optimize fUSI imaging sequences (plane-wave, compounded...
