Auricle is developing a next-generation neurostimulation implant to restore hearing and the ability to understand speech in the millions of people who no longer benefit from acoustic amplification with hearing aids but who aren't prepared to take on the risks of a cochlear implant.
We're searching for a full-time engineer to join our founding team. Our device and prototypes are partly mechanical, electrical and software so we'll need someone who can wear multiple hats but is comfortable primarily in the mechanical domain as we execute on early clinical and pre-clinical studies.
Experience with rapid prototyping using 3D printing, CAD and bench models is a must. Experience of medical device development within a quality management system and developing pre-clinical models is highly valued. Bonus points for electrical engineering experience, programming experience (Python/Matlab) and a passion for auditory science. More than anything, we're looking for someone who will be highly motivated to help bring a complex but life changing device to patients.
We're a small team formed out of Stanford and backed by YC (W21), based out of Fogarty Innovation in Mountain View. The role is primarily in-person with very occasional travel to study sites and with some flexibility for hybrid work from time to time.
We're excited to hear from you! francis@auricle.com
Congratulations on the launch, this looks like a super useful product and I'll give it a try. I've been responsible for conducting hundreds of qualitative interviews over zoom in the past and while the insights were very useful, it took me months to execute. Scheduling and no shows were a massive pain and this has the potential to make it almost hands-off.
Auricle is a medical device company developing a breakthrough minimally-invasive neurostimulation implant to restore hearing in patients who no longer benefit from hearing aids but aren't prepared to make the jump to a cochlear implant. The company is a spin-out from Stanford and YC-backed. We're looking to fill two roles:
1) Our first full-time mechanical engineer to lead electrode design and surgical implantation. Experience with small-scale medical devices ideal, bonus points for experience with implantable devices. Role will be in-person in the Bay Area.
2) A simulation modeling engineer for a summer internship with potential for full-time role, will consider full-time to start for the right candidate. Experience with 3D modeling and Finite Element Analysis required, bonus points for experience with Sim4Life and/or NEURON. Role can be remote or in-person.
You'll be joining an early team working on a very exciting real-world application with a huge market opportunity ahead. Interested? Please contact Francis, Co-founder & CEO email: francis@auricle.com
That's exactly why Tesla are so good at what they do! I've had VW , BMW and Ford rental cars in the last year and they are literally stuck in the dark ages when it comes to on car entertainment and the things that just work and are very responsive in a Tesla.
Are google workspace accounts treated the same? I have several fill me domains hosted with Google duo curious if this behavior tracks over to their paid products
There are a few that I have listed on my website at https://franciswong.com/digital-health although since COVID some have been less active. Take a look at Docs and Hackers, UCSF Health Hub and Stanford's Center for Digital Health. Reach out if there's anything I can do to help!
I have the base model MBP 16 inch and I've been experiencing slow downs with laggy keyboard input, momentary freezes, etc. Battery life is also not as good as on my old MPB 13 and I don't use it for much more than browsing with many tabs. I've done plenty of troubleshooting and a reinstall but no luck.
I'm hoping that 10.15.3 which I installed yesterday will help remedy.
I have been having similar issues with freezing, but only the video stutters, everything else keeps running in the background. I also have the base space gray model.
Weirdly enough this only happens if I don’t turn off the mac for days (only putting in sleep mode) and when the ram is close to 16GB.
However, when the ram gets to 16GB, the only thing that gets impacted is the video, there is no spinning wheel, audio doesn’t stop. Just the video stutters for a bit, then jumps to present.
The theory here is that the onboard graphics card doesn’t have enough ram for it, it is being swapped constantly, which causes the stutters.
You didn't restore from an old Time Machine backup onto your rMBP right?
If not, it sounds like a defective unit. I'd strongly recommend taking it to Apple Store.
I had no issues with laggy keyboard input, freezes and battery life was very solid for me. I've returned the laptop not because of these issues but because useless touch bar and large trackpad on top of Catalina issues.
You can't beat free. SVB and others get you with free for x months but once their fees and "analysis fees" kick in it really gets quite expensive for a small bootstrapped business even with little activity on your account.
It's also incredible how far behind all banks are with simple things like being able to search your transactions over a decent amount of time.
Good luck and I genuinely hope the free and open to all model proves to be sustainable.
I wanted to read this article especially as I've been to Chateau de Chambord, but this website is the epitome of adverts ruining the browsing experience!
I opened the article in Chrome on Android and it was indeed an awful experience but I then switched to the HN browser tab and enjoyed the ad free browsing
