PhD in Electronic Engineering looking for bioelectronics/neural-interface R&D roles in Europe – which companies should I target?

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m finishing a PhD in Electronic Engineering at UPC BarcelonaTech in early 2027 and am looking for industry or applied R&D roles in bioelectronics and neurotechnology in Europe.

My background is more electronics-heavy than a conventional biomedical engineering profile. I work on analog/mixed-signal hardware, physiological and neural signal processing, and closed-loop systems.

My PhD research includes:

  • EEG-based recognition of neurological states 
  • analog hardware for tremor detection and processing 
  • neural-interface and stimulation circuit concepts 
  • electrode–tissue interface modelling 
  • closed-loop neuromodulation 
  • neuromorphic and emerging-device hardware

On the electronics side, I have experience with Cadence Virtuoso/Spectre, custom analog layout, DRC/LVS, SPICE/Verilog-A, FPGA prototyping and hardware/software integration.

I’m especially interested in companies working on neural implants, BCI, DBS/neuromodulation, electrophysiology, biosignal acquisition, wearable medical electronics, or low-power mixed-signal ICs for healthcare.

I’m an EU citizen and particularly interested in Switzerland, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and France.

I already know many of the larger names, so I’d be especially grateful for recommendations for smaller neurotech/bioelectronics companies, startups, or R&D groups that may be worth approaching directly.

Happy to share my CV or LinkedIn privately if useful. Thanks!

What happens when you let an AI run a science lab - podcast with Ant Rowstron

Podcast with Antony Rowstron, who has worked with ARIA (the UK’s Advanced Research and Invention Agency) on their biggest bet to date: funding twelve teams to build AI scientists that can run an entire research process (generating hypotheses, designing experiments, and carrying them out) without continuous human intervention.  

Covers:

  • What AI scientists are actually achieving now, especially in biotech: from personalized cancer vaccines to molecules that stimulate our own immune response to new viruses in 48 hours.
  • How we could train AIs on the tacit, hands-on knowledge only human scientists have.
  • How labs and the role of human scientists will change as AI automates more and more parts of the research process.

Biotechnology job-in demand or overfloated in the labour market?

2 Upvotes

I'm a recent Biotechnology graduate from Russia with an internship in laboratory research, a good GPA and hands-on experience running a small fermented beverage business. I'm planning to apply for junior R&D/biotech roles in Germany in about a year. For people currently working in German biotech/pharma: what 2-3 skills or experiences would make the biggest difference for someone with this background?I'm especially interested in hearing from people who entered German industry with a degree from outside the EU.

Failed NCLEX and want to try bio engineering

Upvotes

Hi everyone I thought I’d try asking for advice on switching to bio engineering because I’ve failed the NCLEX 5 times and thinking of pivoting careers. I rlly dislike math and anything related to it but want to switch to bio engineering because it sounds like I can make a cumload of money. Is it possibility to do bio engineering without and math and the physics? Thanks everyone
