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 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
Expected Compensation The anticipated base salary for this position is expected to be within the following range. Your actual base pay will be determined by your job‑related skills, experience, and relevant education or training. We also believe in aligning our employees’ success with the company’s long‑term growth. As such, in addition to base salary, Neuralink offers equity compensation (in the form of Restricted Stock Units (RSU)) for all full‑time employees.
Base Salary Range:
$105,000 - $141,000 USD
What We Offer Full‑time employees are eligible for the following benefits listed below.
An opportunity to change the world and work with some of the smartest and most talented experts from different fields
Growth potential; we rapidly advance team members who have an outsized impact
Excellent medical, dental, and vision insurance through a PPO plan
Paid holidays
Meals provided
Equity (RSUs) *Temporary Employees & Interns excluded
401(k) plan *Interns initially excluded until they work 1,000 hours
Parental leave *Temporary Employees & Interns excluded
Flexible time off *Temporary Employees & Interns excluded
Equal Employment Opportunity As set forth in Neuralink’s Equal Employment Opportunity policy, we do not discriminate on the basis of any protected group status under any applicable law.
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.
How do you know if you have a disability?
A disability is a condition that substantially limits one or more of your “major life activities.” If you have or have ever had such a condition, you are a person with a disability.
Disabilities include, but are not limited to:
Alcohol or other substance use disorder (not currently using drugs illegally)
Autoimmune disorder, for example, lupus, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, HIV/AIDS
Blind or low vision
Cancer (past or present)
Cardiovascular or heart disease
Celiac disease
Cerebral palsy
Deaf or serious difficulty hearing
Diabetes
Disfigurement, for example, disfigurement caused by burns, wounds, accidents, or congenital disorders
Epilepsy or other seizure disorder
Gastrointestinal disorders, for example, Crohn’s Disease, irritable bowel syndrome
Intellectual or developmental disability
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)
Traumatic brain injury
Public burden statement: According to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, no persons are required to respond to a collection of information unless such collection displays a valid OMB control number. This survey should take about 5 minutes to complete.
