About this role

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:

The Brain Interfaces Embedded Systems Team, a division of the Brain Interfaces Hardware Department, owns the development of high-performance, safety-critical embedded systems for the next-generation of brain-computer interfaces. As a key member of our team, you will gain hands-on training, work alongside accomplished mentors, and contribute to real-world projects.

Job Description and Responsibilities:

We are looking for experienced, hands-on engineers who are interested in exploring what's possible in highly powered and latency-constrained environments. Firmware is the kernel of operation for the implant and you have the chance to determine and implement features that have a massive impact on the product’s capabilities. You will have the opportunity to collaborate closely with chip designers, electrical engineers, algorithms engineers, and software engineers on a small, agile team. The job responsibilities will include:

  • Building on your ability to work cross functionally, working with engineers who deliver safety-critical systems while considering power, radio, and thermal requirements
  • Gaining an understanding of delivering products and/or core features from planning and design to execution and testing
  • Growing your fundamental understanding of hardware while contributing to bare-metal firmware in C
  • Contributing to codebase organization, prioritizing modular formats that allow for elegant hardware bifurcation in the field
  • Developing the ability to contribute to system improvements that decrease latency and increase battery life, reliability, and safety
