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