Coherence Neuro is a fast-growing, venture-backed company pioneering implantable technologies that interface with the human body to address critical unmet medical needs. We're looking for driven individuals who are passionate about pushing the boundaries of engineering and science to solve some of the most complex biological challenges. In this early-stage environment, we seek versatile team members with a hands-on approach and a willingness to learn quickly and adapt. We value diversity and encourage applicants from all backgrounds to join us in our mission. Learn about our team here!

We are seeking an enthusiastic and driven Computational Biophysicist who is passionate about using computational modelling to inform key product design decisions and enable patient-optimized therapeutics. The successful candidate will be based within the data science and computational modelling team and will also work closely with the product development and translation teams.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and implement finite element models of biological systems with a focus on electromagnetic (EM) and thermal dynamics in tissue
• Design and simulate coupled multiphysics problems (e.g., EM–thermal interactions, bioelectric phenomena)
• Build subject-specific models by integrating MRI/CT imaging data into high-quality computational meshes
• Perform segmentation, geometry processing, and mesh generation from medical imaging datasets
• Validate models against experimental or clinical data, particularly for EM field distribution and heat transfer in biological media
• Conduct sensitivity analyses and parameter optimization for EM and thermal simulations
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to translate imaging and modeling outputs into actionable insights
• Clearly document and organize findings for key stakeholders

Required Qualifications and Skills

• Advanced degree (MS/PhD) in Biophysics, Biomedical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field
• Strong expertise in finite element methods (FEM) with emphasis on electromagnetics and heat transfer
• Hands-on experience with FEM tools supporting multiphysics (e.g., COMSOL, ANSYS, Abaqus)
• Experience modeling EM fields in biological tissues and associated thermal effects (e.g., RF heating, bioelectric interactions)
