Backend & System Architect

Jun 12, 2026 I-BRAIN Nanofab

Position Summary

We are seeking experienced and highly motivated full-time personnel to support the design of ultra–high-channel-count neural recording systems for flexible brain–computer interface (BCI) platforms. These roles span CMOS IC design and backend electronics through system integration, enabling scalable whole-brain neural interfaces for preclinical and clinical research. The successful candidate(s) will contribute to CMOS IC MEA chip architecture and/or backend acquisition, synchronization, and data transport systems, working closely with CMOS IC, backend electronics, and system design teams at i-BRAIN

Key Responsibilities

  1. Define and develop backend electronics and system-level architecture for large-scale neural recording systems.
  2. Design data acquisition, synchronization, and high-speed data transport systems.
  3. Lead system bring-up, debugging, and performance validation.
  4. Coordinate integration across chip, board, and system levels.
  5. Work with external vendors on PCB fabrication, assembly, and testing.

Required Qualifications

  1. MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering or related field.
  2. Strong experience with designing and delivering complex backend electronics or data acquisition systems
  3. Familiarity with high-speed interfaces, clocking, and synchronization.
  4. Experience with FPGA or SoC-based systems is a plus.
  5. Ability to work full time and drive system-level execution and end-to-end delivery.
