Electrical Engineer, Implant Embedded Systems

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:

We build the electrical systems that make high-bandwidth brain–computer interfaces possible. This includes neural signal acquisition and stimulation to wireless power delivery, embedded processing, and system integration—all within devices small enough to be implanted in the human body and efficient enough to operate under strict thermal and power constraints. Our work sits at the intersection of analog, RF, digital, and biological systems. Many problems in this space do not present clean abstractions or clear failure modes. Success often depends on careful measurement, iteration, and engineering judgment across multiple interacting systems.

Job Responsibilities :

Utilize electrical engineering fundamentals and best system design practices to deliver high-performant, reliable, and manufacturable extremely size-constraint systems

Contribute to all phases of system and board design, from system definition to part selection, schematic design, layout, bring up, and design verification

Help conduct R&D investigations and experiments to demonstrate feasibility of new technology for the implant and the charger

Work cross functionally to ensure successful systems integration

Contribute to system improvements that decrease latency and increase battery life, reliability, and safety

Design and deploy systems for implant-charger hardware in the loop testing, and manufacturing line quality control

Note: The team is hiring electrical engineers at all levels, both junior and senior. What matters most is evidence of exceptional abilities and a drive to succeed.

Required Qualifications:

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience

Strong electrical engineering and physics fundamentals, with demonstrated ability to apply them under real-world constraints (noise, power, size, non-ideal interfaces)

Proven ability to independently design, bring up, debug, and verify complex PCBAs operating under tight power and size constraints, including mixed-signal circuits, sensitive sensor interfaces, and embedded compute

Experience debugging systems where issues span multiple domains (analog, digital, RF, power) and root causes are not immediately obvious

Deep familiarity with lab instrumentation (oscilloscopes, power supplies, spectrum analyzers, VNAs) and the ability to extract meaningful insight from imperfect measurements

Preferred Qualifications:

Experience shipping highly integrated, size- and power-constrained devices (e.g., wearables, implantables, compact wireless systems)

Experience with wireless systems and RF design tradeoffs (BLE, Wi-Fi, antenna design, coexistence)

Experience supporting hardware through manufacturing at scale, including yield, test, and failure analysis

Experience in safety-critical or regulated environments, where reliability and risk must be explicitly managed

Familiarity with mechanical integration constraints (CAD tools, packaging, stack-ups)

Experience with electromagnetic simulation and antenna validation (FEM/FDTD or equivalent)

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. We also believe in aligning our employees’ success with the company's long-term growth. As such, in addition to base salary, Neuralink offers equity compensation (in the form of Restricted Stock Units (RSU)) for all full-time employees.
