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 a Supplier Industrialization Engineer, you will own component industrialization at our external suppliers across the full breadth of what goes into the Implant and the Robot. This is explicitly a generalist role: rather than specializing in a single commodity, you will move across machined parts, molded plastics, electromechanical assemblies, PCBAs, optics, hermetic packaging, coatings, and biocompatible materials — going wherever the program needs the most engineering horsepower.
What they're looking for
- B.S. in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Industrial, Electrical, Materials, Chemical, Biomedical, Aerospace, or a related engineering discipline — or equivalent practical experience that demonstrates the same technical depth
- Proficiency with common engineering and data tools (e.g., SolidWorks or equivalent CAD for reading models, Minitab or Python/R for data analysis, ERP/PLM systems, JIRA or equivalent for tracking work)
- Hands-on experience leading structured root-cause and corrective-action work (8D, RCCA, fishbone, 5-Whys, fault-tree) on real production issues — from containment through verified, closed-loop fix
- Project-management chops: able to drive a parallel portfolio of supplier deliverables to aggressive dates, sequence dependencies, escalate cleanly, and communicate status to stakeholders without being chased
- Strong written and verbal communication. You can run a productive technical meeting with a supplier engineering team one hour, then write a crisp summary of risk and recommended actions for Neuralink leadership the next
- Comfortable in a hands-on, fast-moving, ambiguity-tolerant environment where you are expected to own outcomes, not just tasks — and to make sound decisions with incomplete information
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.
Supply Chain owns the external manufacturing network that builds and delivers every component going into the Implant and the Robot. The Supplier Industrialization Engineering (SIE) function partners with Design, Quality, Manufacturing, and Strategic Sourcing to take parts from prototype through volume production at our external partners — ensuring suppliers can deliver to Neuralink’s technical, cost, schedule, and regulatory requirements throughout the product lifecycle.
