Your Mission with us

For our new venture within the FUTRUE Group, we are immediately seeking a Head of Neural Software Engineering (m/f/d) to develop the leading generation of brain-computer interfaces with us by 2030.

We aim to restore mobility to the paralyzed, sight to the blind, and a voice to the mute, with the goal of fundamentally expanding the potential of the human brain.

Our vision: An unlimited mind.

Your Tasks

You will be responsible for the software that turns thoughts into actions and serves as the bridge between the implant and the patient.

• Build a high-performing team and take on its disciplinary leadership.
• Develop and implement software for real-time acquisition, preprocessing, and decoding of neural signals, as well as targeted stimulation via our implants.
• Design and optimize decoding algorithms and signal processing pipelines that communicate bidirectionally between brain and device under strict latency and reliability requirements.
• Build the software architecture for our BCI system: from the implant-facing firmware interface through middleware to the application layer.
• Work closely with the hardware teams (chip, electrodes) and clinical partners to adapt the software to real-world requirements and improve patients' quality of life.

Your Profile

• You bring relevant leadership experience and have the confidence to build and lead a high-performing team.
• You are passionate about shaping the next major innovation in the health-tech sector in an environment with fast decision-making processes.
• You have strong foundations in software development and system architecture, as well as a solid understanding of real-time requirements, latency, and resource constraints.
• You are proficient in at least one system-level language (C, C++, Rust) and one higher-level language (Python); additional languages are a plus.
• You have knowledge of digital signal processing and have ideally worked with neural data.
• Experience with embedded software, firmware, or development in regulated environments is a plus.
• You have completed your degree or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Neuroscience, Physics, or a comparable field, ranking among the top of your class.
• You have a strong drive, the ability to quickly familiarize yourself with new subject areas and can communicate complex issues concisely.
• You are business-fluent in English or German (min. C1).
