We’re pursuing this goal by developingfundamentally new approaches to brain-computer interfaces that interact with the brain at high bandwidth, integrate with advanced AI, and are ultimately safe and accessible for anyone to use.\n\nAbout the Team\nWe turn physical signals into information and back. We reason backward from neural readout and stimulation goals to co-optimize the physical and computational systems that make them possible. Working with scientists and engineers, we combine simulation, measurement, and signal processing across neural interfaces, device characterization, and high-throughput biological screening. Our systems stream tens of gigabits per second. Within constrained power envelopes, we find what limits sensitivity, resolution, and reliability, push what today’s devices can deliver, and set the specifications for future generations.\n\nAbout the Role\nYou will build and maintain a shared image-analysis core that turns image series into reliable measurements across our platforms, with tools scientists can use independently. Image registration is central to the role, both across image series and to anatomical references. Early work includes locating wells and identifying brain imaging planes to guide repeatable probe positioning, and extracting response measurements for screening and in-vivo imaging.\n\nIn this role, you will:\nDevelop image-based methods and scan strategies to locate wells and match brain imaging planes for repeatable probe positioning.\n\nBuild analysis workflows for object and peak detection, background subtraction, drift correction, and response metrics such as rise and fall times.\n\nDevelop and validate registration methods for reconstructed image series, quantifying motion and alignment accuracy.\n\nDevelop registration methods to align ultrasound images with MRI and other anatomical references for imaging and targeting workflows.\n\nAgree metric definitions and acceptance criteria with scientists, including accuracy, repeatability, and failure conditions.\n\nRigorously validate analysis methods with reference measurements, controls, and regression tests, assessing signal preservation and repeatability.\n\nImprove and maintain tested, documented Python tools that scientists can run independently.\n\nIntegrate analysis methods with acquisition and reconstruction workflows and optimize runtime and memory use for large image datasets.\n\nYou might thrive in this role if you have:\nExperience developing or substantially improving quantitative image-analysis workflows used by others.\n\nStrong practical image-processing and spatial-reasoning skills, including detection and image registration.\n\nSound numerical and signal-processing judgment about how sampling, filtering, and correction affect measured responses.\n\nStrong scientific Python skills and experience maintaining tested, documented software.\n\nPractical judgment about runtime and memory use in image-analysis workflows.\n\nA disciplined approach to validation and honest reporting of uncertainty, limitations, and failures.\n\nExperience turning ambiguous scientific requests into useful workflows with the people who use them.\n\nUseful, but not required:\nPrior experience with multimodal image registration, particularly alignment to MRI.\n\nUltrasound, microscopy, or other scientific imaging.\n\nImage-guided experimental automation.\n\nGPU or distributed image processing.\n\nVisualization tools used by scientists.\n\nDeveloping and evaluating learned image-analysis methods.\n\nExperience turning scientific Python prototypes into production-quality software, including work with build systems such as Bazel.\n\nExperience using AI tools or agents to develop scientific software and optimize processing pipelines.\n\nFor more information about hiring at Merge, please visit our Hiring FAQ\n\nMerge Labs does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, gender expression, marital status, physical or mental disability, medical condition, genetic information, family status, ancestry, citizenship, U.S. military (state and federal) and veteran status, or any other legally protected status.
