Software Engineer, Neuralink

• Bachelor's degree in computer science, a related field, or equivalent work experience
• Fluent in modern front-end and/or mobile development tools (Typescript, Swift) and a high-performance backend language (Python, Golang)
• HW/SW debugging skills with lab equipment
• A strong understanding of engineering first principles
• You are mission-driven and goal-oriented in your approach to solving problems
• You are resourceful, flexible, and adaptable; no task is too big or too small
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills
• You find large challenges exciting and enjoy discovering and defining problems as much as solving them
• You deliver. You may enjoy thoughtful conversations about problems and perfecting designs, but in the end, you know that what matters is delivering reliable solutions
• You are a cross-disciplinary team member. You are excited to work with and learn from software, mechanical, electrical, materials, and neural engineers
• You are comfortable communicating across teams
• You feel a sense of urgency to get things done sooner rather than later
• Resourceful, flexible and adaptable; no task is too big or too small
• You are comfortable working closely with animals in a research environment

Desirable

• The Next Gen team at Neuralink is developing the next generation of brain-computer interfaces
• We are laying the groundwork for intuitive, high-dimensional, and bidirectional interfaces between brains and machines, with the goal of helping people challenged by a variety of neurological disorders and conditions
• Our team consists of scientists and engineers, working closely together to define the engineering requirements for these future products
• As a Software Engineer, you will write, test and deploy software that interacts with our neural interfaces and other data acquisition systems to decode and modulate brain activity
• We are looking for hands-on engineers who are excited to own the end-to-end engineering of next-generation software systems for the control of assistive robotic arms (CONVOY), visual prostheses (Blindsight), and medical imaging data pipelines
• Successful candidates will be highly adaptable, able to deploy their core technical and creative skills to tackle a wide range of problems, and have a keen sense of urgency
• Developing, validating, testing, and deploying software systems
• Writing algorithms to decode and modulate neural activity
• Designing user experiences centered around neural control of devices
• Mentoring others in achieving engineering excellence through code review, design review, and technical presentations
• Presenting results in a collaborative setting
• Working with neuroengineers and animal training specialists to support research sessions
