Software Engineer Intern, Neuralink

• Evidence of exceptional ability in engineering or computer science
• Experience in writing performant applications in a system language like C, C++, and Rust
• Ability to work on mission-critical and safety-critical systems
• Strong bias for action and first principles thinking

Desirable

• As a Software Engineer Intern on the Robot Software Team, you will be responsible for writing software and making sure your code works on an actual surgical robot, not just simulation
• Our robotics integrate actuated devices with microelectromechanical systems as well as novel surgical procedures
• These applications place strong emphasis on high-precision, high-repeatability mechanical motion, as well as high reliability and fail-safe design
• Develop safety-critical software for the robot; you are responsible for contributing directly to surgery-ready software as an intern
• Take ownership of a project that is integral to robot functioning from design to implementation under the guidance of a robot software team member
• Jump on problems when they arise with a strong bias for action to support robot operation by non-software teams
• Work across different engineering disciplines; your software may involve interactions with the mechanical, electrical, biological, and neuroscience teams
• The Robot Software Team builds software that enables scalable neurosurgery that allows safe implantation of the N1 device, ranging from core control, sensors and perception, autonomy, surgery analytics, and more
• This role tightly integrates with the robot hardware team, surgery engineering team, as well as the BCI applications team which rely on us to deliver safe and effective implantation of the N1 device

• 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
• Flexible time off + paid holidays
• Equity + 401(k) plan
• Commuter Benefits
• Meals provided
• Parental leave

Total funding: $686m
