FUTRUE Neurosciences – An unlimited mind. With our new venture within the FUTRUE Group, we are pursuing a clear mission: We develop the leading generation of brain-computer interfaces by 2030.
As part of the FUTRUE Group, we have strong financial resources and a proven track record – from the first medical device for irritable bowel syndrome to the first opioid substitute for chronic pain. We turn scientific vision into clinical reality.
We collaborate with leading research institutions worldwide and publish our results in the most prestigious international journals, including Nature and The Lancet.
Today, FUTRUE is one of the fastest-growing healthcare companies in the world. To advance and further expand our new venture, we are looking for outstanding talents to support us in our mission.
Does this sound exciting to you? Then apply now! We look forward to getting to know you.
For our new venture within the FUTRUE Group, we are immediately seeking a Head of Neural Software Engineering (m/f/d) to develop the leading generation of brain-computer interfaces with us by 2030.
We aim to restore mobility to the paralyzed, sight to the blind, and a voice to the mute, with the goal of fundamentally expanding the potential of the human brain.
Our vision: An unlimited mind.
You will be responsible for the software that turns thoughts into actions and serves as the bridge between the implant and the patient.
Build a high-performing team and take on its disciplinary leadership.
Develop and implement software for real-time acquisition, preprocessing, and decoding of neural signals, as well as targeted stimulation via our implants.
Design and optimize decoding algorithms and signal processing pipelines that communicate bidirectionally between brain and device under strict latency and reliability requirements.
Build the software architecture for our BCI system: from the implant-facing firmware interface through middleware to the application layer.
Work closely with the hardware teams (chip, electrodes) and clinical partners to adapt the software to real-world requirements and improve patients' quality of life.
You bring relevant leadership experience and have the confidence to build and lead a high-performing team.
You are passionate about shaping the next major innovation in the health-tech sector in an environment with fast decision-making processes.
You have strong foundations in software development and system architecture, as well as a solid understanding of real-time requirements, latency, and resource constraints.
You are proficient in at least one system-level language (C, C++, Rust) and one higher-level language (Python); additional languages are a plus.
You have knowledge of digital signal processing and have ideally worked with neural data.
Experience with embedded software, firmware, or development in regulated environments is a plus.
You have completed your degree or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Neuroscience, Physics, or a comparable field, ranking among the top of your class.
You have a strong drive, the ability to quickly familiarize yourself with new subject areas and can communicate complex issues concisely.
You are business-fluent in English or German (min. C1).
We offer you a diverse, challenging job with exciting tasks and a broad spectrum of creative opportunities!
Our innovative environment allows for your professional development with short decision-making paths, responsibility from day one, and the freedom to break new ground. Individual learning and real purpose await you – push the boundaries of what is possible with us!

Develops brain-computer interfaces and neuromodulation devices
FUTRUE Neurosciences develops brain-computer interfaces and neuromodulation devices to help people with paralysis or neurological injuries regain movement, speech, and touch. Its core technology is high-resolution neurointerfaces, including a mikro-ECoG microelectrode array with 512 brain-surface electrodes for targeted stimulation and recording. The system decodes neural signals to control prosthetic movement, translates neural activity into speech, and provides targeted nerve stimulation to restore sensation, aiming for initial clinical applications. The company differentiates itself through German-engineered, high-precision neurointerfaces built by lean, independent teams within the FUTRUE Group, backed by substantial resources and founder Clemens Fischer’s track record, with the goal of bringing the next generation of BCIs to clinical use by 2030.
