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 role

As an MRI (RF) Coil Engineer at Nudge, you will :

Engineer high channel-count RF receive coil arrays that are integrated with a transcranial ultrasound device for state-of-the-art 3T human MRI scanners

Design and build pre-amplifier and scanner interface circuits for RF coil arrays

Evaluate and minimize electromagnetic interactions between transcranial ultrasound stimulation devices and an MRI scanner

Design and build active RF probes for localizing ultrasound devices inside an MRI scanner

Develop precise, high throughput, reliable test systems

Own designs from concept through prototyping to deployment in clinical trials

Work closely with mechanical engineers, software engineers, ultrasound engineers, and clinical operators

About you

We are looking for engineers of all levels, with a preference for at least 3 years of industry or relevant post-PhD experience. Regardless of your career level, you should have :

Strong engineering / physics first principles

Designed, constructed, and interfaced sensitive and robust multi-channel RF coils for high-field human MRI scanners (>

= 3 Tesla)

Exceptional proficiency in ECAD and electromagnetic simulation software

Degree in Electrical Engineering or similar engineering discipline

Strong RF engineering fundamentals

Strong analog and digital fundamentals

Demonstrated history of exceptional technical contribution
