Additional information:
As the world leader in BCI tech, our pioneering neuroscience tools push the boundaries of research and empower innovation across more than 500+ global institutional partners, restoring function in patients suffering from neurological disease (ALS, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s), dysfunction (epilepsy, pain, brain trauma), and paralysis disorders. Our systems can be optimized from the ground up to handle even the most challenging applications.
Our BCI is the most sophisticated and long-tested human BCI, interfacing with the brain and empowering independence in those with paralysis & other neurological disorders since 2004. In fact, dozens of patients have used our BCI for a collective 30,000+ days to regain freedom through movement and communication. Our first commercial BCI, MoveAgain, received a Breakthrough Designation from the FDA in 2021 and is expected to be commercially available in 2023.

You’ll be joining the team working directly on project/systems management, performance benchmarking, market trends, and user priorities.
Success in this role looks like:
An understanding of what Blackrock is building with Neuralace
Becoming a subject matter expert in specific neurological diseases/disorders including a strong grasp on user priorities, patient care pathways, and the value of BCIs
What You'll Do
Conduct research on market trends, user needs and emerging technologies to identify growth opportunities in neurotechnology and BCI
Support cross-functional projects focused on market development and strategic positioning
Contribute to initiatives that drive commercial translation of Neuralace technologies
