Company Description:
We are creating the future of brain-computer interfaces: building devices now that have the potential to help people with paralysis regain mobility and independence and invent new technologies that could expand our abilities, our community, and our world.
Team Description:
The Next Gen team at Neuralink is developing the next generation of brain-computer interfaces.
We are laying the groundwork for bidirectional interfaces between brains and machines, with the goal of helping people challenged by a variety of neurological disorders and conditions.
Our team of scientists and engineers work closely together to define the engineering requirements for future products.
As a software engineer on this team, you will write, test and deploy software that interacts with our neural interfaces and other data acquisition systems to decode and modulate brain activity.
Job Responsibilities and Description:
Develop, validate, test, and deploy software systems
Write algorithms to decode and modulate neural activity
Design user experiences centered around neural control of devices
Review others' code
Present results in a collaborative setting
Run and support research sessions in coordination with neuroengineers and animal training specialists
About You:
You find large challenges exciting and enjoy discovering and defining problems as much as solving them.
You deliver.
You may enjoy thoughtful conversations about problems and perfecting designs, but in the end, you know that what matters is delivering reliable solutions.
You are a cross-disciplinary team member.
You are excited to work with and learn from software, mechanical, electrical, materials, and neural engineers
