Design, develop, and optimize advanced digital signal processing algorithms for embedded implementation. Collaborate with teams for efficient solutions aligning with hardware constraints.
About Neuralink:
We are creating devices that enable a bi-directional interface with the brain. These devices allow us to restore movement to the paralyzed, restore sight to the blind, and revolutionize how humans interact with their digital world.
We are seeking a talented Signal Processing Engineer to design, develop, and optimize advanced digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms for on-chip and embedded implementation. In this role, you will create efficient, hardware-friendly algorithms that run directly on custom SoCs, enabling real-time processing with constraints on power, latency, area, and throughput. You will collaborate closely with the SoC, Firmware, and Machine Learning teams to translate high-level signal processing needs into production-ready solutions.
Key Responsibilities- Design and develop signal processing algorithms for sensing neural activity in the cortex (e.g. spike detection), monitoring cortical electrode health, and more.
- Design and develop numerical algorithms, such as custom data compression to increase radio throughput.
- Develop fixed-point or quantized versions of algorithms optimized for constrained hardware.
- Implement and verify algorithms in high-level languages and transition them to hardware-friendly representations.
- Perform algorithm-to-architecture mapping: analyze trade-offs between accuracy, latency, power, and resource utilization on the SoCs.
- Collaborate with the digital design team to define micro-architectures for custom on-chip processing pipelines, including dataflow, pipelining, and parallelization.
- Education: BS, MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Signal Processing, or a related field.
- Experience: 3+ years in digital signal processing algorithm development or real-world products, with a focus on embedded or hardware-constrained implementations.
- Fluent in signal processing fundamentals (both analog and digital) and strong numerical capabilities.
- Familiarity with fixed-point arithmetic, quantization effects, and numerical precision trade-offs.
- Proficiency in Python and C for algorithm prototyping and simulation.
- Hands-on experience with Verilog/VHDL, or transitioning algorithms to RTL.
- Experience with dedicated DSP cores or accelerators.
- Track record of optimizing for power/area/latency in resource-constrained environments.
