Jobs at Convergent Research

Build formal methods tools for AI oversight, scale long-running verification experiments, apply tools to real systems, and iterate based on results. The role focuses on developer tooling, AI-assisted workflows, formal verification infrastructure, and verified agent containment across OCI containers and Linux isolation primitives. Engineers will own problems end to end, collaborate closely with a small research team, document technical reasoning, and help shape the organization’s technical direction.

Build and scale formal methods tools for AI oversight, including verified agent containment across OCI containers and Linux isolation primitives. Apply proof assistants and formal verification infrastructure to real systems, run large experiments, iterate on tool designs, and document findings. The role involves owning complex research and engineering problems, collaborating with a small technical team, using AI agents, and helping shape technical direction.

Leads Arbor’s clinical science strategy and human neuroscience program, defining target conditions, symptoms, interventions, outcome measures, and clinical impact. Runs longitudinal human studies, interprets results, builds clinical partnerships, advises animal and modeling programs, evaluates platform collaborations, writes scientific and fundraising materials, and hires the growing human science team. The role requires an accomplished clinician-scientist or clinically oriented neuroscientist with substantial independent research experience and hands-on expertise conducting human studies.

Analyze longitudinal functional ultrasound and electrophysiology data, develop image-processing and multimodal integration tools, and create algorithms for adaptive experiment design, online analysis, and closed-loop control. Collaborate with experimental scientists from study design through interpretation, contribute to scientific decisions, and build tooling for novel neuroscience experiments.

Work directly with the CEO to manage organizational operations, including HR, contracts, vendors, recruiting, onboarding, partnerships, reporting, proposals, and internal systems. The role also tackles open-ended strategic and operational problems, evaluates opportunities, supports research collaborators, builds organizational culture, and establishes processes for a growing neuroscience research organization.

Build and lead Arbor’s human clinical research program, including IRB submissions, study start-up, participant recruitment and scheduling, site partnerships, safety monitoring, documentation, training, device readiness, and adverse event reporting. Develop clinical infrastructure for longitudinal and at-home neuromodulation studies while collaborating with clinicians, hospitals, researchers, and scientific leadership.

Design and validate research hardware for human and animal neuroscience experiments, including ultrasound systems, electrophysiology implants, headstage interfaces, circuit boards, and test rigs. Translate scientific needs into requirements, guide external engineering partners, improve device portability and robustness, determine what to build internally, manage contractors, and prepare documented, reproducible platforms for outside researchers.

Design and run longitudinal human neuroscience studies involving functional ultrasound imaging and future neuromodulation. Responsibilities include managing experimental rigs, recruiting participants, collecting and analyzing data, collaborating with clinical sites and engineers, traveling to research locations, publishing findings, and helping shape Arbor’s human neuroscience program.

An open-ended opportunity for candidates to propose the work they would like to take on based on their skills and interests. Applicants should explain what they want to work on, why it matters, and provide examples of relevant work, writing, or projects that demonstrate their thinking.
