  • Full-time

Company Description

MindMaze is the world’s leading Neurotechnology start-up built on more than a decade of pioneering research at the intersection of virtual reality and neuroscience. Our breakthrough platform combines virtual & augmented reality, neuroscience and artificial intelligence to build intuitive human machine interfaces. Our first products help patients suffering from severe disabilities following a neurological incident.

Join our eclectic mix of scientists, physicists, engineers and clinicians, and grow with MindMaze.

Job Description

You will integrate into a team dedicated to real-time and online signal processing of bio-signals (especially EEG, EMG and ECG).  You will design, develop and test the algorithms used for bio-signal processing, collaborate to develop modules for a framework of Brain Computer Interfaces (BCI) and Virtual Reality (VR) feedback, and enhance current technologies in collaboration with other developers to continue the technological evolution of MindMaze.

You will:

  • Invent, develop and implement algorithms to analyze bio signals in real-time (more particularly EEG/EMG) in the early development phase in a high-level language (such as Matlab and Python);
  • Test algorithms with real and simulated data and provide a measure of detection-confidence; 
  • Design experiments to record data, analyze this data to develop and validate models;
  • Port high level mathematical algorithms (in Matlab, Python) into a lower level language (C, C++);
  • Write design documentation;
  • Ensure up to date knowledge about the latest technology evolution;
  • Deliver on time to the highest quality standards;

To support you, MindMaze will:

  • Provide an international collaborative work environment
  • Provide mentoring
  • Allow flexible employment terms and conditions

Qualifications

Skills that we look out for are among

  • Ph.D. in digital signal processing, machine learning with a research project focused on bio-signals (preferably EEG)
  • Extensive experience with machine learning algorithms
  • Strong mathematical skills
  • Understanding of the mathematical concepts in the context of signal processing engineering
  • Solid experience of Matlab/Octave and Python
  • Experience with  the C/C++ programming language
  • Experience with translational research in clinics/rehab centers
  • Fluent written and spoken English (level C1)

Icing on the cake

  • Experience in statistical analysis
  • Experience with Virtual Reality experiments (Unity)
  • Experience with clinical trial organization procedures (ethics, allocation, etc)
  • Knowledge of FES, tDCS, TMS any other stimulation is a plus
  • Big data analysis
  • Good publication record
  • Fluency in French
  • Background in neuroscience or medicine
  • Ability to understand and analyze complex problems
  • Uses rigorous logic and methods to solve difficult problems with effective solutions, looks beyond the obvious, doesn’t stop at the first answers and aim at understanding the root cause of any problems

Additional Information

To be successful you can illustrate the fact that you have the following abilities:

  • Working autonomously: setting tasks and direction under limited supervision
  • Oral and written communication: ability to write clearly and succinctly in a
    variety of communication settings and styles; ability to get messages
    across that have the desired effect
  • Self-Development: personally committed to and actively works to continuously improve
    him/herself; works with a growth mindset
  • Planning accurately: setting objectives and goals; breaking down work into the process steps;  anticipating and adjusting to problems and roadblocks
