About the Role:Engineers on the BCI team utilize signal processing and machine learning to communicate with the brain. You will have access to the most cutting-edge neural interface hardware and develop state-of-the-art neural encoders and decoders. No prior knowledge of neuroscience is required; we value simple solutions grounded in first principles.
Neuralink designs all hardware in-house, from custom ASICs to thin-film arrays. There is no part of the technical design that cannot change. Learnings from your work will directly influence next-generation device architecture.
Job Responsibilities:- Telepathy Product: Develop and refine models that decode neural data, enabling individuals with paralysis to reliably type at 35 words per minute or control robotics arms for activities of daily living.
- Blindsight Product: Formulate research questions to guide the development of neural networks and signal processing algorithms that will restore vision to those affected by blindness.
- Utilize your fundamental understanding of neural networks and data science to develop models that serve as the foundation for machine learning applications for BCI.
- Lead the team by performing at a high standard, setting the bar for how we build and operate our systems.
- Inform our hardware roadmap by understanding users and identifying the product features that would have the greatest impact on their quality of life.
About You:- Experience writing production-level C/C++/Rust and Python
- Proven track record of designing, building, and shipping real-time ML products
- Strong foundation in signal processing, algorithms, and software engineering principles
- Bachelor's degree in relevant field or equivalent experience
