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 Implant Assembly team builds Neuralink's brain-computer interface implants on the Austin production line. The team runs every step of the build, from array bonding through sealing, cleaning, inspection and acceptance testing. We work closely with Microfabrication, Shipping & Receiving, Quality, and R&D to deliver high-quality implants on schedule.

Job Description and Responsibilities:

As the Manufacturing Material Coordinator, you will own the flow of material on the implant assembly line, so that operators can spend their time building implants. You will make sure every station has the right parts, fixtures and supplies before the shift starts, keep inventory records accurate, and coordinate with Microfab, Shipping & Receiving, and R&D so that material shortages do not stop the line.

Responsibilities:

Own core inventory control and audits for consumables, fixtures, and implant components, including cycle counts and keeping records accurate in our inventory system

Receive supplies from Shipping & Receiving and stock them into bulk inventory

Track stock levels, set reorder points, and flag shortages before they affect production

Organize and maintain storage, including racks, dryboxes, and labeling

Stage stations and kits with the right material based on the next day's build priorities

Coordinate array deliveries with Microfab so that arrays are ready at the start of the build

Audit fixtures for count, condition, cleanliness, and readiness

Define station clean standards, and audit and enforce them on the line

Manage MRB material: segregate and track it, supply parts to the R&D line, and make sure parts do not sit idle in MRB

Manage shipping and delivery of completed units, and organize units returned to the line

Track and report inventory and material metrics, and recommend process improvements

Required Qualifications:
