## Description (the employer's text)

### About Nudge

At Nudge, our mission is to develop the best technology for interfacing with the brain to improve people's lives. We're starting with an approach that we believe can help the most people the fastest, and also allow us to learn as much about the brain as possible: developing a non-invasive, ultrasound-based device that can stimulate and image the brain at high resolution and depth. This is a vertically integrated effort building cutting-edge hardware, software, and research capabilities to create products that can benefit millions — and eventually billions — of people.

To succeed, we need to assemble world-class teams across everything we do. We hire people who are exceptional at their craft, believe hard things are worth doing, and execute relentlessly — people who expect the highest levels of both rigor and integrity from each other.

### About the role

As a Materials Engineer at Nudge, you will:

Design materials and fabrication methods for in-house ultrasound array fabrication

Design high efficiency elements for transmission through the skull and high bandwidth elements for ultrasound imaging and cavitation detection

Develop methods for measurement of electrical, acoustic, and thermal properties of the elements

Work closely with electrical, mechanical, software, and ultrasound engineers

### About you

We are looking for engineers with at least 3 years of industry experience. Regardless of career level, you should have:

Strong engineering / physics first principles

Strong fundamentals in materials science

A degree in Material, Mechanical, Electrical Engineering or similar engineering discipline

A history of exceptional technical contribution

High integrity and professional judgement
