Computational Neuroscientist / Electrophysiology Software Engineer (100%)

At MaxWell Biosystems, we innovate the future of electrophysiology by developing cutting-edge technologies for neural activity recording. Our platform includes the software MaxLab Live, a custom-designed integrated circuit, and an FPGA-based data acquisition system that generates vast amounts of data when electrically imaging neuronal tissue. These data are processed, analyzed, and visualized in real-time.We are seeking a highly motivated Computational Neuroscientist or Electrophysiology Software Engineer to join our interdisciplinary team. The ideal candidate will bridge the gap between software engineering and electro-physiology data analysis, helping us develop novel tools for neuroscience research and drug discovery.Your MissionDevelop and enhance robust pipelines for neural data analysis, including spike sorting and feature extraction algorithmsIntegrate cutting-edge methods, including machine learning or advanced statistical techniques, to improve the accuracy and efficiency of neural data analysisCollaborate with neuroscientists and electrophysiologists to identify key challenges in data interpretation and implement practical software solutionsContribute to the development of APIs and tools that simplify and enhance user workflows for neural data explorationContribute your own ideas in our agile development processWork in a multidisciplinary environment, understand customer needs, continuously improve user experienceOur current Tech Stack:Python – for our analysis algorithms we are relying on the Python data science stackC++ – for real time processing and visualizationQt – we embrace Qt for all our user interfacesLinux and bashYour ProfileBackground in computational neuroscience or electrophysiology, with a solid understanding of neural signal processingKnowledge of spike sorting techniques (e.g., Kilosort, SpyKING CIRCUS) and neural data analysis workflows is a strong plusEnjoy writing elegant and maintainable codeGood programming skills in Python, familiarity with C++Knowledge in Linux, Bash and PythonGreat teammate, entrepreneurial mindsetKeen to help create a positive, supportive, engaging team environmentStrong interpersonal and communication skills to collaborate effectively with interdisciplinary teamsWhy Join Us?Be part of an international and multidisciplinary team at the forefront of neuroscience and technologyWork on challenging projects that combine biology, computation, and engineeringHelp develop cutting-edge tools that advance neuroscience research and drug discoveryEnjoy a collaborative, innovative, and supportive work environmentJan Müller looks forward to receiving your application documents (cover letter, resume, letter of recommendation and degrees including transcripts) by email at hr@mxwbio.com.
