Who we are

Integral is building technologies to treat neurological and psychiatric disorders.

Our first device is a miniaturized, implanted, deep-brain interface for severely affected patients. It will have unprecedented capabilities for recording and modulating neural activity and for monitoring patients’ symptoms.

This device will dramatically advance our ability to treat brain disorders and to understand their biological causes. We will use this unique discovery platform to develop an expanding range of more effective treatments that will ultimately be accessible to everyone.

Leadership:

• Flip Sabes, CSO - Neuralink cofounder, UCSF Professor Emeritus, neuroscientist and neurotech innovator

• Milan Cvitkovic, CEO - Neurotech venture builder; previously first-hire at Convergent Research, AI researcher, and software engineer

• Stephen O'Driscoll, VP of Engineering - Verily cofounder and former Head of Electrical Engineering, former Director of Device Electronics at Science Corp

We prioritize ambitious engineering, speed, and patients' needs.

What you’ll do

You’ll be a founding member of Integral's ASIC team, responsible for developing - from scratch - and shipping the core ICs that will define the capabilities of our first product.

You'll build chips for neural recording and stimulation that achieve state-of-the-art miniaturization, power efficiency, and channel count, designed to meet the highest standards of reliability, safety, and supply chain resilience.

We work full-time, in-person in South San Francisco.

Who we’re looking for

You should have substantial skills and expertise in at least one of the following areas:

• Recording front-end development

  • Low-noise, low-bandwidth preamplifier design

  • Low-power, low-sampling-rate ADC design 

  • Signal conditioning filter design, including switched capacitor filters

  • Noise suppression, correlated double sampling/chopper stabilization

  • Analog mux/demux design

• Stimulation engine development

  • Charge pumping or voltage boosting

  • Boost converters, switched capacitor and/or inductor based

  • Current-steering DAC design

  • Analog mux/demux design

  • Reconstruction filters for DAC output

• Power conditioning

  • Voltage regulators, including switched capacitor converters

  • Boost converters, switched capacitor and/or inductor based

  • Voltage reference design

• On-chip biosignal processing

  • Familiar with processing neural signals on-chip

  • Artifact rejection techniques for stimulation and record systems

  • Data compression techniques

• Interchip data interfaces

  • Experience in drivers, receivers, and SerDes for interchip communication

You should also have:

• Ideally taken at least 5 mixed-signal ICs through the full cycle: design to market

• A track record of swift execution

• (Bonus) Designed ASICs in heavily regulated industries

Neurotechnology experience is not necessary.
