Clinical Implant Specialist (Field-Based)

About SynchronSynchron’s vision is to build non-surgical brain–computer interfaces at global scale that protect the fundamental human rights of freedom of expression and autonomy. Our first mission is to develop motor decoders that restore the ability of 15 million people with paralysis to interact with the digital world. Our second mission is to develop whole-brain cognitive decoders that enable hundreds of millions of people with cognitive decline to preserve and expand their agency as cognition changes over time. In pursuing these goals, we aim not only to help humans flourish, but also to drive fundamental discoveries in human intelligence. Our team operates at the intersection of healthcare and technology, translating breakthrough research into real-world, safety-critical systems.Clinical Implant Specialist (Field-Based)Location: Field-Based (US; Travel Required)Department: Clinical Operations / Medical Education & TrainingReports To: Sr. Director of Medical Education & TrainingPosition SummarySynchron is seeking a skilled and mission-driven Clinical Implant Specialist to support the implementation and optimization of the Synchron BCI System implant procedures at clinical sites.
