The Department of Neurology is seeking a Software Engineer for the Cognitive Research, Online Neuroengineering, and Electrophysiology laboratory (CRONE Lab) at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. The CRONE Lab specializes in Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) and ECoG-based functional mapping. We are looking for a motivated and results-driven software engineer with hands-on experience in implementing web-based applications using JavaScript and its related frameworks and software stacks.

This position will take the lead on a project that facilitates designing experiments for data collection and resulting applications to be directly controlled by individuals living with paralysis using BCI communication paradigms. The ideal candidate will have a keen interest in BCI technology and is dedicated to working directly towards software solutions for a patient population in need of this technology.

Specific Duties & Responsibilities

• Software development in a research environment and working directly with PhD students and postdoctoral fellows towards innovative user and communication interfaces.
• Ensure that the software components are smoothly integrated into our lab infrastructure and for at-home testing, focusing on robustness and design controls according to FDA guidelines.
