About 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.
Job Description and Responsibilities:
As a BCI Field Engineer, you’ll collaborate with software engineers, neuroengineers, animal trainers, mechanical engineers, and veterinarians to develop the next-generation human-ready Brain-Computer Interface (BCI). Additionally, you will be expected to:
- Run daily sessions with clinical trial participants to test new neural decoding algorithms
- Analyze data and drive insights that guide R&D decisions (e.g., behavior, BCI performance, and electrophysiological data)
- Develop new experimental setups and assist in training participants to learn new tasks and features
- Participate in clinical trial sessions, which might require travel
- Support participants with issues and bugs that arise during BCI use
- Gather feedback and feature requests from participants and relay them to the engineering team
- Assist participants with setting up their environment to maximize BCI user experience
- Run non-human primate (NHP) BCI research sessions
Required Qualifications:
- Bachelor's Degree in a science or related field (e.g., neuroscience, biology, engineering, physics, software), or equivalent experience
- Excellent interpersonal and communication skills
- Experience troubleshooting hardware and/or software
- Experience in data collection and analysis
- Proven ability coding in Python
Preferred Qualifications:
- Proficiency collecting physiological or other time-series data
- Experience working with participants in clinical studies
- Experience developing and collecting customer surveys

What We Do
Neuralink is a team of exceptionally talented people. We are creating the future of brain-machine interfaces: building devices now that will help people with paralysis and inventing new technologies that will expand our abilities, our community, and our world.
Our goal is to build a system with at least two orders of magnitude more communication channels (electrodes) than current clinically-approved devices. This system needs to be safe, it must have fully wireless communication through the skin, and it has to be ready for patients to take home and use on their own. Our device, called the Link, will be able to record from 1024 electrodes and is designed to meet these criteria.
