VP of Engineering Head of Ultrasound @Prophetic

San Francisco, CA, US

As the Vice President of Engineering at Prophetic, I lead the ultrasound development efforts for our groundbreaking transcranial neuromodulation headset. Our small, dynamic team is at the forefront of innovation, and I play a pivotal role in shaping the future of our product.My responsibilities include spearheading the design and optimization of custom transducer arrays and electronic driving circuits for our neuromodulation headset while ensuring that the arrays emit safe levels of energy, adhering to our own, and the industries, rigorous safety standards.I work closely with our research team to develop IRB-approved studies focused on investigating neuromodulation effects, particularly related to inducing lucid dreaming. This includes interacting with regulatory bodies (including the FDA) to ensure compliance with industry standards and guidelines and championing Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) throughout the product development lifecycle.
