Embedded Software Engineer, Implant Embedded Systems

Job description

**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:** Join the Brain Interfaces Embedded Systems Team and be part of an elite team of engineers working on high-performance, safety-critical embedded systems for the next-generation brain-computer interfaces. You will have the opportunity to work closely with chip designers, electrical engineers, and software engineers on a small, fast-moving team. **Job Description and Responsibilities:** We are looking for experienced, hands-on engineers who are interested in exploring what's possible in highly powered and latency-constrained environments. Firmware is the kernel of operation for the implant, and you have the chance to define and implement features that have a significant impact on the product’s capabilities. As an Embedded Software Engineer, you will be expected to: - Own complex challenges from definition to solution - Utilize your ability to work cross functionally to deliver safety critical systems while considering power, radio, and thermal requirements - Take ownership of products and/or core features; from planning and design to execution and testing - Build on your fundamental understanding of hardware while contributing to bare-metal firmware - Embrace a fast-paced iterative environment that prioritizes shipping manufacturable solutions **Note: The team is hiring embedded 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 computer science, electrical engineering, related field, or equivalent experience - 1+ years of experience with embedded systems (including internships) - Proficient in embedded C or Rust - Ability to design bare-metal embedded systems in highly constrained environments - Strong Electrical Engineering fundamentals - Signal processing fundamentals - You find enormous challenges exciting and enjoy discovering and defining problems as much as solving them - You deliver. You may enjoy thoughtful conversations about problems and perfecting design, but in the end, you know that delivering reliable manufacturable solutions matters - You are a cross-disciplinary team member. You are excited to work with and learn from chip designers to neuroscientists **Preferred Qualifications:** - Experience with embedded stacks for ARM cores - Experience with safety-critical systems - Experience with FPGA development and testing - Experience with RF, BLE, TCP/IP stacks from a practical embedded perspective - Prior work or experience with applied cryptography and embedded systems security **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.
