About Neuralink

Creating a generalized brain interface to restore autonomy to those with unmet medical needs today and unlock human potential tomorrow. Backed by Lightspeed, Sequoia and Founders Fund.

About the role

We are hiring a Metrologist / Senior CMM Operator to be the dimensional measurement authority at Neuralink. You will own programming, fixturing, and reporting on our CMM fleet, stand up a real Incoming Quality Control (IQC) workflow for purchased parts, provide first-article and in-process inspection for in-house machined parts, and train and certify additional operators across the company so this capability scales with our roadmap.

What they're looking for

  • 3+ years (mid) or 7+ years (senior) of hands-on CMM experience on bridge CMMs and portable arms in a production or precision-manufacturing environment
  • Strong CMM programming skills in at least one of: PC-DMIS, Calypso, PolyWorks, Verisurf, or comparable — including alignments, iterative datum schemes, and scanning routines
  • Deep, working knowledge of ASME Y14.5 GD&T applied to small, complex, tight-tolerance parts (sub-thousandth-of-an-inch features are common at Neuralink)
  • Experience reviewing AS9102 / PPAP-style first-article documentation and writing clear, actionable NCRs that drive supplier corrective action
  • Fixturing instinct — you know when to design a fixture vs. iterate alignments, and you can specify or build simple fixtures yourself
  • Clear written and verbal communication, comfortable presenting inspection results to engineers and engineering leadership
More about this role

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.

The Supply Chain team owns the internal and external manufacturing and supplier network behind every component of the Implant and the Robot. Dimensional Quality sits inside that team as Neuralink's measurement authority: we inspect purchased parts at incoming, verify first articles from suppliers and the machine shop, and own the CMM fleet that makes those calls defensible. We partner daily with Design, Manufacturing Engineering, Quality, and Sourcing so fit, form, and function issues get caught at the source, and so our inspection systems scale with the clinical and commercial roadmap.
