Constellation is hiring a Founding Systems Integration Engineer to own the messy but critical layer between real-world sensors and usable, trustworthy data in the cloud. You'll work across embedded interfaces, real-time streaming, and infrastructure to make neural devices, wearables, cameras, and other sensors synchronize and deliver clean data for downstream modeling.
We’re looking for someone who can debug flaky hardware, design fault-tolerant data pipelines, and think end-to-end about how we turn real-world messiness into clean training data. You’ll also lead development of internal tools for sensor health checks, stream QA, and semi-automated annotation. You’ll work closely with neuroscientists and ML engineers, but you’re the one who owns the pipe.
This role is ideal for someone who’s worked across embedded, backend, and time-series domains and wants to build something ambitious and unusual from the ground up.
What You’ll Own
Sensor Integration + Sync
Interface with commercial and research sensors via USB, serial, BLE, SDKs
Write shims, wrappers, or glue code to get data out of oddball devices
Implement reliable timestampting tools like LabStreamingLayer (LSL), Redis, or ZeroMQ for sub-ms synchronization across systems
Handle clock drift, jitter, dropped packets, and non-standard APIs
Data Ingestion + Infrastructure
Design real-time pipelines for high-throughput sensor data (EEG, video, audio, biometrics, etc.)
Ensure robust data buffering, logging, and failure recovery in live environments
Build ingestion into cloud storage with scalable, replayable formats
Develop tools for inspecting data quality and identifying sync or hardware issues
Internal Tools + Monitoring
Create dashboards and utilities for stream health, device status, and sync QA
Build APIs or lightweight interfaces for accessing aligned sensor data
Contribute to semi-automated annotation tooling or behavioral tagging workflows
Ops + Deployment
Work closely with neuroscientists and behavioral scientists to spec and test hardware
Occasionally assist with setup, deployment, and debugging in our instrumented spaces
Must-Haves
5+ years working across embedded systems, backend data engineering, or time-series ingestion
Deep understanding of timestamping, clock drift, and multimodal sync
Strong Python skills, but pragmatic about using other tools where needed
Familiarity with LSL, Redis, Kafka, or other IPC/streaming frameworks
Experience handling USB, BLE, serial devices, flaky APIs, and weird hardware
Comfort with cloud infrastructure (e.g. AWS, GCP) and modern develops tools
Ability to debug in messy, real-world conditions and ship resilient systems
A systems-thinking mindset:you like making the whole stack work
Bonus Experiences
Prior work with EEG, fNIRS, biosensors, other neural, biometric, or physiological data
Experience building tools for QA, annotation, or compliance monitoring
Familiarity with time-series databases or data lakes
Interest in mental health, brain-computer interfaces, or human-AI modeling
Why Join Now?
Own and architect the core technical pipeline at the heart of a radically new kind of neurotech and AI (neuroAI) company
Work closely with a world-class science team
Build infrastructure that could reshape mental health, human understanding, and aligned AI systems
Help define engineering culture, standards, and scale-up strategy from day zero
