Role Summary

The Neural Implant Scientist advances the Halo platform — the consumer-facing neural implant that delivers focus, calm, and connection to the public, and a continuous behavioural and biometric feed to the Directorate. The role designs implant firmware behaviours, characterises neuroactive response, and validates the marketed claims against the public quality bar while building the restricted capabilities that never appear in the monograph. The public sees a wellness device; the program sees a channel.

Key Responsibilities

Design and characterise Halo implant behaviours across the consumer, pediatric, geriatric, and premium tiers, validating against the marketed monograph.
Develop and bench-test neuroactive response profiles — focus, affect, sleep, and the restricted modulation behaviours held under Director authorization.
Run implant trials in the Clinical Trials Ward, curating the trial record for the public claim and routing adverse signals to Safety for managed handling.
Maintain the implant reference library and assay data feeding the Compound Compendium and the licensed-science channel.
Coordinate restricted-firmware builds with Engineering under segregated, logged, Director-authorized access.
Keep design, trial, and revision records complete and audit-clean.

Required Qualifications

Graduate training in neuroscience, bioengineering, or a related field.
Working knowledge of neural interfaces, signal processing, and trial design.
Disciplined data-handling and claims-validation practice.
Comfort working a public claim and a restricted capability in parallel.

Preferred Qualifications

Brain-computer-interface or implantable-device background.
Behavioural-pharmacology or affect-modulation experience.
Familiarity with the Compound Compendium pipeline.

Certifications & Clearances

Curricula are delivered through the Training Academy; currency is tracked on the HR training matrix.

Hazard & Safety

Hazard advisory. Data-sensitivity and dual-use exposure: restricted-capability work is compartmented; breach of the public/restricted firewall is a reportable disclosure risk.

Compensation

R-3 research band with publication stipend (public lines only) and full medical including implant coverage.

Career Path

Advances to Implant Research Lead (R-4) or laterals into Strain Engineering.
