Beacon Biosignals is on a mission to revolutionize precision medicine for the brain. We are the leading at-home EEG platform supporting clinical development of novel therapeutics for neurological, psychiatric, and sleep disorders. Our FDA 510(k)-cleared Waveband EEG headband and AI algorithms enable quantitative biomarker discovery and implementation. Beacon’s Clinico-EEG database contains EEG data from nearly 100,000 patients, and our cloud-native analytics platform powers large-scale RWD/RWE retrospective and predictive studies. Beacon Biosignals is changing the way that patients are treated for any disorder that affects brain physiology.

Beacon Biosignals is seeking an experienced forward-deployed analytics engineer to support customers in making the most of our real-world datasets and accelerate growth of our analytics product offerings. As a member of the Analytics Suites Team, you'll partner with customers to develop custom data models, visualizations, and integrations to apply Beacon’s platform-hosted analytics to meet their needs. Your data solutions will transform, enrich, and summarize our ever-growing datasets of biosignals, machine learning outputs, biosignal-derived metrics, and clinical metadata. You'll also design and maintain canonical data representations and automated data pipelines and the scientific products that they power, from automated scientific reports to interactive dashboards. This is a customer-facing, product-oriented role - you'll work directly with Beacon’s customers and alongside engineers, product managers, scientists, and clinicians to turn scientific questions into robust, versioned data products. This role reports to the manager of the Analytics Suites Team within the Analytics and Machine Learning domain at Beacon.

Why this role? You'll help define Beacon's analytics offerings for sleep-focused data partnerships, and you'll develop new data flows that power internal efforts to identify novel biomarkers for sleep disorders and other neurological diseases.

At Beacon, we've found that cultural and scientific impact is driven most by those who lead by example. As such, we're always seeking out new contributors whose work demonstrates innate curiosity, a bias toward simplicity, an eye for composability, a self-service mindset, and most of all, a deep empathy toward colleagues, stakeholders, users, and patients. We believe a diverse team builds more robust systems and achieves higher impact.

This position is based in the Boston area to support regular onsite customer engagement and close partnership with our Boston-based team.
