Remote Neurotechnology Jobs in Texas (NOW HIRING)

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 cross-functional strategic leader to oversee clinical evidence generation and external research partnerships. 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 clinical roadmap from early feasibility through reimbursement while shaping the scientific narrative for a new class of psychiatric therapy.
