Pioneering the Next Generation of Brain-Computer Interfaces
About Brainsmart™
Brainsmart™ is a world-class pioneer in brain–computer interface (BCI) neurotherapeutics, developing minimally invasive neural interface devices that enable high-density, large-area brain signal decoding without craniotomy. Originating from the Advanced Biomedical Instrumentation Centre (ABIC) – a joint initiative between HKU and Harvard University under the InnoHK Program – we combine world-class expertise in flexible electronics, semiconductor device engineering, and clinical neuroscience.
Our flagship technology, the Minimally Invasive μ-ECoG™ System, delivers epidural, flexible, MRI-compatible neural interfaces for applications in epilepsy surgery, stroke rehabilitation, speech decoding, and tumor treating fields (TTF). With successful large-animal validations and an ongoing FDA Q-Sub process, Brainsmart is now expanding to the U.S. (Silicon Valley) to build a world-leading team for engineering, clinical translation, and regulatory approval.
Analog & Mixed-Signal IC Design Engineer
Silicon Valley, California, USA
We’re building high-resolution brain-computer interfaces using ECoG and beyond. We’re looking for someone who can design the ICs at the heart of it. Our systems need to amplify and process hundreds of neural channels with extremely low noise and power.
