Internship Neurosurgery Coding Jobs (NOW HIRING)

South San Francisco, California, United States

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 Robot Manufacturing Software team allows Neuralink to build neurosurgical robots at a scale that has never been done before. Every robot that ships was tracked, assembled, calibrated, and verified through the software you'll build. This is the backbone of how we scale from early production to meeting real clinical demand.

We're a small, tightly knit team - and this role is the first dedicated owner of the robot manufacturing software stack. As the company scales, so will the complexity, and you'll be the one designing and building the systems that make all of that possible.

We operate as a tight, high-trust team. You'll have direct ownership and the autonomy to solve hard problems, but also high expectations.

We're moving fast to meet clinical demand and keep up with deployments. 60-hour weeks are not uncommon, and there are stretches where the pace is high. This isn't for everyone.

Job Description and Responsibilities:

As a Software Engineer on the Robot Manufacturing Team, you'll work directly with robot engineers and surgical engineers to understand what they need, then build it. You won't be handed a spec doc from a product manager three layers removed from the problem.

Some days you're heads-down writing code all day. On another day, you might spend a morning pairing with a robot engineer to understand a new calibration process, then spend the afternoon building the tracking system for it. The constant is that you're close to the problem and shipping solutions quickly. Projects you will work on:

• Inventory and warehouse management systems that track every component going into a neurosurgical robot - from raw materials through final assembly
• Lifecycle management software that engineers use to build, calibrate, verify, and maintain robots throughout their entire lifespan
• Whatever else needs building. The scope of problems here is wide and constantly evolving. You'll have real ownership over the direction this stack grows

Required Qualifications:

• A bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent demonstrated work experience
• Strong full-stack engineering skills. Our stack is Ruby on Rails and React/TypeScript, but we care more about your ability to learn and ship than your resume matching our package.json
• You've built software that real people use
• You can talk to users, understand their problems, and translate that into well-built software. This role is deeply collaborative
• You take ownership. When your software breaks on the floor, you fix it
• You're comfortable with ambiguity. Manufacturing at this scale hasn't been done before for this kind of device

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.

Base Salary Range:

$135,000 - $216,000 USD
