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.

Team Description:

Our robotics integrate actuated devices with microelectromechanical systems as well as novel surgical procedures. These applications place strong emphasis on high-precision, high-repeatability mechanical motion, as well as high reliability and fail-safe design. You will be responsible for writing software and making sure your code works on an actual surgical robot, not just simulation.

Neuralink strives to be a meritocratic environment: we require honest and transparent communication to ensure the best ideas win out, and we believe the best solutions emerge and the best teams are created when you assemble high-performing individuals and allow them to engage in rigorous and thoughtful inquiry. We want to work with exceptional people, and, to the extent that you excel, we want you to take on more responsibility and help all of us succeed. If this speaks to you, come join us.

Required Qualifications:
  • Evidence of exceptional ability in engineering or computer science.
  • Hands-on experience with robotics or high reliability systems.
  • Experience coding in Linux and a system language like C/C++/Rust.
  • Strong understanding of engineering first principles.
  • Proven history of shipping products. 
Preferred Qualifications:
  • Experience in computer vision.
  • Experience working on medical robots.
  • Experience working with high precision systems.

Expected Compensation:

The anticipated base salary for this position is expected to be within the following range. Your actual base pay will be determined by your job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
