We are a company that creates wearable clothing to enhance human performance, restore physical function, and increase independence. Our goal is to enable people to move without any limitations. We acknowledge that achieving this goal is not easy, and we require the assistance of a diverse group of professionals, including engineers, therapists, researchers, and patients, all working collaboratively to develop solutions. To achieve our mission, we’re building a human augmentation platform that provides resources and assistance to turn concepts into practical solutions. In addition to our flagship product, the Cionic Neural Sleeve, this platform is an essential aspect of our mission.
Our platform, the Cionic Development Kit, provides a comprehensive set of tools that help researchers and developers build innovative human augmentation applications. Cionic Applications are downloaded onto Cionic Devices to unlock new user experiences; ranging from study protocols and rehab programs to neural training games or anything in between. An application may incorporate audio or visual biofeedback based on sensor data from Cionic Devices, utilize electrical stimulation to activate motor movement, or even integrate custom augmentation hardware of your own design.
The Cionic Development Kit comprises four essential modules:
- cionic-portal: a web-based application used for creating studies, protocols, and applications within the Cionic System
- cionic-python: Python-based tools used for querying and analyzing study data
- cionic-apps: a Javascript-based Software Development Kit (SDK) designed for building custom application interfaces
- cionic-circuitpython: CircuitPython libraries used for interfacing custom hardware with the Cionic System
As an intern, you will have the opportunity to work on your own research or product-based project with the guidance and support of our engineers and a mentor throughout the summer. You will use and develop CIONIC's platform tools and contribute to fulfilling our mission of enabling people to move without limitations.
Some examples of previous projects that interns have worked on include:
- Developing a Cionic Application that allows a user to play rehabilitative musical exercises on a virtual piano with assistance from electrical stimulation
- Building an arm sleeve capable of reading EMG and administering FES
- Developing an innovative musical interface where positioning and muscle activation trigger sound and music generation
- Designing a layered biofeedback tool that utilizes melody and chord construction to promote muscle synchronization and sequencing
- Improving the accessibility of our Android application
You can read about the experience of last year’s interns here. Join us this summer to make a difference in people's lives and contribute to our mission of enabling people to move without limitations.
With your application, please submit your resume and a brief paragraph, preferably no more than 250 words, explaining the project you plan to work on.
