About Neuralink
Neuralink is creating devices that enable a bi-directional interface with the brain to restore movement to the paralyzed, restore sight to the blind, and revolutionize human interaction with the digital world.
Team Description
The Robot Software Team builds software for scalable neurosurgery, enabling safe implantation of the N1 device. This includes core control, sensors and perception, autonomy, and surgery analytics. The role integrates with hardware, surgery engineering, and BCI applications teams.
Job Description and Responsibilities
As a Software Engineer Intern on the Robot Software Team, you will write software that functions on an actual surgical robot. Your work will involve robotics integrating actuated devices with microelectromechanical systems and novel surgical procedures, emphasizing high-precision, high-repeatability mechanical motion, reliability, and fail-safe design.
- Develop safety-critical software for the robot, contributing to surgery-ready software.
- Take ownership of an integral robot functioning project from design to implementation, under guidance.
- Address problems with a strong bias for action to support robot operations by non-software teams.
- Collaborate across engineering disciplines, potentially interacting with mechanical, electrical, biological, and neuroscience teams.
Requirements & Tech Stack
- Experience in writing performant applications in a system language like C, C++, and Rust.
- Ability to work on mission-critical and safety-critical systems.
- Strong bias for action and first principles thinking.
Qualifications
- Evidence of exceptional ability in engineering or computer science.
- Hands-on experience with robotics or high-reliability systems.
- Experience coding in Linux and debugging on Linux systems.
- Experience in computer vision.
- Experience in kinematics and motion planning.
- Experience working on medical robots.
- Experience working in a high-precision environment.
