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

As an Electrical Engineer on the Surgery & Robot Hardware Team, you will be expected to design, verify, and oversee the transition to production of a variety of custom electronics systems with a primary emphasis on FPGA-based hardware and real-time processing.

What they're looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field or equivalent experience
  • Professional experience delivering on all phases of electronics design (requirements, part selection, schematic, layout, manufacturing, test)
  • FPGA device selection and architecture definition
  • RTL development (Verilog / SystemVerilog)
  • Digital signal processing theory and implementation
  • High-speed interface design (PCIe, MIPI, SLVS-EC, LVDS, JESD204, Ethernet, etc.)
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 Surgery & Robotics Hardware Team is looking for Electrical Engineers who want to advance the future of healthcare solutions with technology. At Neuralink we recognize that increasing healthcare costs, lack of access, and insufficient numbers of neurosurgeons globally require new approaches to enable greater access to our devices. To address these challenges we design fully autonomous robotics systems, human assistive surgical tools, and design entire surgical suites in order to provide better experiences for our customers.

Our team works on our surgical robot system which aims to fully automate the implantation of the Neuralink implant. We design and integrate multi-axis robotic arms, perception systems including custom imaging hardware, optical coherence tomography tissue imaging, power electronics, and safety systems such as 3D spatial mapping/object avoidance sensors. Robotics is part of a larger system of tools we work on. For example, using...
