About The Position

iota Biosciences, a wholly owned subsidiary of Astellas Pharma US, is advancing a new class of bioelectronic medicines through the development of fully implantable Class III medical devices. Our proprietary technologies open therapeutic and diagnostic possibilities not previously accessible to clinicians. Together with Astellas, we are committed to patient-centric design, scientific and engineering excellence, and cross-functional teamwork. These principles guide us in bringing transformative, first-of-its-kind technologies into the clinic and closer to patients. The Role We are looking for a Data Scientist to join our urological therapies team and play a key role in advancing next-generation implantable medical devices. In this role, you will work with complex biological signals and experimental datasets to help drive device development, improve signal interpretation, and generate insights that inform critical R&D decisions. You’ll collaborate closely with hardware engineers, neuroscientists, clinicians, and product teams, helping translate experimental data into meaningful insights that accelerate the development of novel therapies. This is an exciting opportunity to work on high-impact problems in neurotechnology and medical devices, where your analyses directly influence how new therapies are designed and delivered.
