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:
We build the electrical systems that make high-bandwidth brain–computer interfaces possible. This includes neural signal acquisition and stimulation to wireless power delivery, embedded processing, and system integration—all within devices small enough to be implanted in the human body and efficient enough to operate under strict thermal and power constraints. Our work sits at the intersection of analog, RF, digital, and biological systems. Many problems in this space do not present clean abstractions or clear failure modes. Success often depends on careful measurement, iteration, and engineering judgment across multiple interacting systems.
Job Description and Responsibilities:
We are looking for an experienced, hands-on electrical engineer for implant electronics board design, integration with our custom chips, testing, and quality control. You will have the opportunity to contribute to advanced projects, not only work on incremental changes, and be an integral member of a small, fast-moving team. You will be working on all phases of board design (part selection, schematic design, layout, and bring-up) as well as collaborating closely with chip designers, firmware engineers, mechanical engineers, and microfabrication experts for system integration.
- Utilize electrical engineering fundamentals and best system design practices to build on your ability to deliver high-performant, reliable, and manufacturable extremely size-constraint systems
- Gain understanding of all phases of system and board design, from system definition to part selection, schematic design, layout, bring up, and design verification
- Contribute to R&D investigations and experiments to demonstrate feasibility of new technology for the implant and the charger
- Gain experience working cross functionally to ensure successful systems integration
- Contribute to system improvements that decrease latency and increase battery life, reliability, and safety
- Develop ability to design and deploy systems for implant-charger hardware in the loop testing, and manufacturing line quality control
Required Qualifications:
- Strong EE fundamentals
- Experience designing PCBs for low power and size constrained applications
- Experience with PCB CAD tools (Altium, Eagle, KiCad, Allegro)
- Experience with sensors, power management, and signal/power integrity
- Comfortable with common communication protocols (SPI, UART, I2C, etc.)
- Comfortable with lab equipment (oscilloscope, VNA, etc.)
- Basic C and Python programming skills
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience with firmware development for embedded systems (C/C++)
- Experience with wireless systems (BLE, WIFI, Zigbee)
- Experience building and bringing-up MCUs or FPGA
- Proficiency with ME CAD tools (Solidworks, AutoCAD)
- Experience with analog circuit design
Expected Compensation:
The anticipated hourly rate for this position is listed below.
