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 Surgery & Robotics Hardware Team is looking for Electrical Engineers who want to shape the future of neurosurgery and neurosurgical implants. Our team is responsible for all electrical engineering aspects of a Neuralink surgery which include designing our surgical robotics, supporting operating room equipment, and manufacturing custom consumables.

The core device you will work on is our custom robot system. The goal of our team and this device is to fully automate the implantation of our N1 implant. To do this, we design and integrate technologies such as a 9‑DOF robot for electrode implantation, compute, vision systems, optical coherence tomography tissue imaging, power electronics, copper and optical networking, and safety systems such as e‑stops, interlocks, and collision avoidance hardware.

We also design the hardware to produce consumables such as our electropolished needles and laser‑machined needle cartridges. Additional core activities of our team include bring‑up testing and manufacturing.

Job Description and Responsibilities 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. This role offers substantial autonomy and the exciting opportunity to own creative decisions and execute on new, impactful projects such as actuator/robotics stage designs, end effectors for robots, image‑capture pipelines, telemetry systems, networking architectures, and patient sensors/tools.

Required Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field or equivalent experience

Experience in “full stack” ownership of circuit board designs through architecture, component selection, schematic capture, PCB layout, testing, and production

At least one of these designs must be deployed and in use

Design experience integrating microcontrollers, FPGAs, or SoMs into mixed signal PCBAs

Peripherals such as UART, I2C, SPI, 802.3 interfaces and camera interfaces such as MIPI‑CSI

Capable of bringing these designs up by writing basic test firmware

Practical electronics design knowledge including designing for EMC, ESD, thermals and packaging

Preferred Qualifications

Demonstrable experience in developing electronics for critical systems in fields such as medical devices, aerospace, automotive, or military

Competency in one of the following software languages: C, C++, Python, or Rust

Voluntary Self‑Identification of Disability Form CC‑305

Page 1 of 1

OMB Control Number 1250‑0005

Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.

Mental health conditions, for example, depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorder, schizophrenia, PTSD

Missing limbs or partially missing limbs

Mobility impairment, benefiting from the use of a wheelchair, scooter, walker, leg brace(s) and/or other supports

Nervous system condition, for example, migraine headaches, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis (MS)

Neurodivergence, for example, attention‑deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorder, dyslexia, dyspraxia, other learning disabilities

Partial or complete paralysis (any cause)

Pulmonary or respiratory conditions, for example, tuberculosis, asthma, emphysema

Short stature (dwarfism)
