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.
Team Description:
The Surgery Data Annotation team at Neuralink ensures the accuracy and clarity of surgical data through detailed analysis and collaboration. By interpreting logs, images, and videos from surgeries, the team provides actionable insights to both engineering and surgical teams, enabling continuous refinement of processes and technologies. This team acts as a critical link, ensuring data-driven decisions that advance Neuralink’s mission of developing cutting-edge neural interfaces.
Job Description and Responsibilities:
As a Data Annotation Specialist at Neuralink, you will be responsible for analyzing, labeling, interpreting, and recording visual data produced during surgeries conducted at Neuralink. You will be expected to communicate the results of the surgery with relevant engineering and surgery teams, most importantly when there are deviations or unexpected events. No prior medical experience is necessary, we only require an extreme attention to detail in visual imagery. The role will also involve cross-team collaboration during presentation of data results. The Data Annotation Specialist will:
- Interface with the surgical robot logs, images, and videos to provide metrics of the efficacy of the insertions for every surgery
- Create “Surgery Debrief” presentation slides and media to communicate the results of the surgery with the engineering and surgery teams
- Collaborate with engineering teams on designing solutions to recurring issues
- Performs other projects or duties that may be assigned
Required Qualifications:
- Extremely attentive to visual details
- Exceedingly organized
- Excellent with computer systems
- Excellent communication and documentation skills
- Proven record of annotating images
- 3+ years of troubleshooting experience, or equivalent
- Minimum Associate of Science (AS) degree or equivalent industry experience
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience with data analysis
- Experience with programming languages such as Python
- Strong understanding of engineering first principles
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.

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.
