What is the difference between Sbir Grant Writer vs Proposal Writer?
| Aspect | Sbir Grant Writer | Proposal Writer |
|---|---|---|
| Credentials | Typically requires knowledge of federal grants, grant writing certifications, and industry-specific understanding | Often requires writing experience, sometimes certifications, but less specialized in federal grants |
| Work Environment | Primarily works in research, government, or tech sectors focusing on federal funding | Works across various industries including corporate, nonprofit, and government sectors |
| Employer & Industry Usage | Commonly employed by startups, research institutions, and government agencies seeking SBIR funding | Used by companies and organizations preparing various types of proposals, not limited to SBIR |
The main difference is that an Sbir Grant Writer specializes in preparing proposals for SBIR grants, requiring specific knowledge of federal funding processes. A Proposal Writer has a broader scope, creating various types of proposals across industries. Both roles demand strong writing skills, but the Sbir Grant Writer focuses more on federal grant procedures and industry-specific knowledge.

Job description
About Synaptrix Labs Inc.
Synaptrix is building the future of non-invasive brain-computer interfaces.
We believe the next leap in neurotechnology will come from the right fusion of deep learning, signal processing, and computational neuroscience, not just better hardware. Our mission is to build systems that can restore communication, mobility, and autonomy, while laying the foundation for a new era of human-computer interaction.
We're looking for a full-time Grant Writer (PhD) to lead and support high-quality grant submissions across NIH, NSF, DoD, BARDA, ARPA-H, and other non-dilutive funding programs. This person will work closely with leadership, research, and technical teams to help Synaptrix secure funding that accelerates both our science and product roadmap.
Responsibilities:- Lead drafting and submission of grants across NIH, NSF, DoD, ARPA-H, and related agencies
- Translate Synaptrix's technical work into clear, compelling, fundable proposals
- Manage the full grant lifecycle: opportunity identification, writing, submission, revisions, and reporting
- Work closely with leadership, scientists, and engineers to shape specific aims, technical narratives, milestones, and budgets
- Help structure research roadmaps around grantable workstreams and strategic funding opportunities
- Support subcontractor / academic collaborator coordination when relevant
- Maintain a pipeline of upcoming non-dilutive funding opportunities relevant to Synaptrix
- PhD in Neuroscience, Biomedical Engineering, Computer Science, Bioengineering, or related field
- Strong experience writing and/or supporting successful NIH, NSF, DoD, or equivalent federal grant submissions
- Excellent scientific and technical writing skills
- Ability to understand and communicate complex interdisciplinary work across AI, neurotechnology, signal processing, and medical devices
- Highly organized and able to independently manage multiple deadlines and submissions
- Strong judgment, ownership, and attention to detail
- Prior experience in neurotechnology, BCI, computational neuroscience, medical devices, or translational biotech
- Familiarity with SBIR/STTR, R01/R21, NSF translational grants, or defense-related funding mechanisms
- Experience working directly with startup founders, principal investigators, or technical R&D teams
- Comfort contributing to scientific strategy, framing research directions in ways that are both ambitious and fundable
- Experience with grant reporting, progress updates, and compliance documentation
We care a lot about talent density, speed, and intellectual honesty.
Synaptrix is a small, ambitious team working on a problem that actually matters. We value people who can think clearly, write sharply, move fast, and operate with high ownership. We are deeply mission-driven, highly technical, and serious about building something important.
What We Offer:- Competitive pay + equity
- Health benefits
- A chance to help shape the future of neurotechnology and non-invasive BCI
- High ownership and direct exposure to company strategy, research, and fundraising
- Growth potential for team members who have outsized impact
- Paid holidays, unlimited PTO
