About The Position

Beacon Biosignals is seeking an experienced sr. neuroscientist/data scientist to serve as a scientific partner to Beacon’s Life Science customers, working directly with pharmaceutical and biotechnology teams to analyze clinical trial data and extract meaningful insights using Beacon’s devices and AI/ML models. In this customer-facing role, you'll be embedded in active client engagements, helping translate complex neural data into scientifically rigorous, decision-relevant results that inform drug development programs across neurological, psychiatric, and sleep disorders. As a member of Beacon’s Data Science Group, you will design and execute analyses on real-world and clinical trial EEG data, applying statistical, computational, and neuroscientific expertise. You will work closely with customer scientists, clinicians, and program leaders—leading scientific discussions, presenting results, and iterating collaboratively as studies evolve. You will also act as a critical bridge between customers and Beacon’s other internal teams. By deeply understanding customer goals, constraints, and feedback, you will help shape analytical approaches, influence product and model development, and ensure Beacon’s technology continues to meet the needs of real-world clinical programs.
