Job description

What is Motif?
Motif is a medical device startup based in Houston, Texas. We are designing and developing minimally invasive electronic solutions for serious mental health conditions. Powered by our patent-pending methods for wireless power and data transmission, our goal is to create the smallest implantable brain stimulator to treat people with mental health disorders.
We are an early-stage startup with funding from venture capital firms, grants, and private angel and founder investments.
Motif's technology stack consists of a small implant that is wirelessly powered via magnetic fields from an external wearable transmitter, configured and controlled from a programming interface. It delivers novel stimulation therapy to cortical targets and will evolve to record biomarkers of symptoms, disease state, and therapy response.
Where are we going?
We are currently completing the development of our first minimally invasive neural stimulation system and preparing for future versions with additional functionality based on our platform technology.
About the Job
We are seeking a strategic leader to oversee collection of multimodal data sets related to mental health disorders, discovery of impactful biomarkers from these data sets, and translation of this impact into scalable neurotechnology products. This effort includes a specific focus on novel neural data from a new implantable neurotech platform alongside consumer grade wearables applied to problems such as automated dosing, detection of therapeutic effect, enhanced adherence, and prediction of potential relapse events. If you have a passion for translating early-stage neurotechnology into therapies that reach patients, apply now to be part of our dedicated team. Lead the machine learning effort from data through discovery and deployment while helping to shape the scientific narrative for a new class of psychiatric therapy.
Job Location: Remote with periodic travel to Houston, Texas and scientific conferences
