We are a company that creates bionic clothing to enhance human performance, restore physical function, and increase independence. Our goal is to enable people to move without limits. We acknowledge that achieving this goal is not easy, and we require the assistance of a disverse 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 platfom, 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'll be able to use and develop CIONIC's platform tools, and contribute to fulfilling our mission.
Some examples of projects that you could work on include:
- Designing a new Cionic Application that incorporates sensory feedback to improve balance and stability in patients with Parkinson's disease.
- Creating a rehabilitation program using Cionic Devices to help stroke survivors regain their motor function.
- Developing a neural training game that uses electrical stimulation to activate motor movement in patients with spinal cord injuries.
- Building a custom augmentation hardware prototype to integrate with the Cionic System to help amputees regain their limb function.
Join us this summer to make a difference in people's lives and contribute to our mission of enabling people to move without limits.
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. Note that the projects above are just examples - if you have another idea, we'd love to hear it!
