What is a robotic camera operator?

A Robotic Camera Operator is responsible for controlling remote-operated cameras used in television broadcasts, film production, live events, and sports coverage. They use specialized equipment to pan, tilt, zoom, and move cameras with precision, ensuring smooth and high-quality shots. Their role involves coordinating with directors and production teams to capture dynamic visuals while maintaining technical accuracy. This job requires knowledge of camera systems, robotics, and real-time adjustments to adapt to live shooting conditions.

What does a typical workday look like for a robotic camera operator?

A typical workday for a Robotic Camera Operator involves setting up robotic cameras, performing pre-shoot technical checks, and working closely with directors and production teams to capture precise shots during live broadcasts or productions. You’ll spend time remotely operating camera movements, troubleshooting any technical issues that arise, and making real-time adjustments to framing and focus as needed. Collaboration is key, as you often coordinate with lighting, audio, and other camera personnel to achieve the desired visual results. The pace can be fast and dynamic, particularly during live events, making adaptability and clear communication essential for success.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a robotic camera operator?

To thrive as a Robotic Camera Operator, you need a solid understanding of camera operation, robotics technology, and video production, often supported by training in broadcast or film production. Familiarity with remote-controlled camera systems, joystick or software interfaces, and sometimes certification from equipment manufacturers is highly valuable. Attention to detail, strong problem-solving skills, and effective communication will set you apart in this fast-paced role. These abilities ensure smooth technical execution, high-quality output, and seamless collaboration on set or in live production environments.

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:
The Surgery & Robotics Hardware Team is looking for Electrical Engineers who want to advance the future of healthcare solutions with technology. At Neuralink we recognize that increasing healthcare costs, lack of access, and insufficient numbers of neurosurgeons globally require new approaches to enable greater access to our devices. To address these challenges we design fully autonomous robotics systems, human assistive surgical tools, and design entire surgical suites in order to provide better experiences for our customers.
Our team works on our surgical robot system which aims to fully automate the implantation of the Neuralink implant. We design and integrate multi-axis robotic arms, perception systems including custom imaging hardware, optical coherence tomography tissue imaging, power electronics, and safety systems such as 3D spatial mapping/object avoidance sensors. Robotics is part of a larger system of tools we work on. For example, using pre-op MRI scans we generate patient anatomy data that we later use in surgery to register precise surgery site locations.
In addition to research and development of modern surgical technology, we also are responsible for bringing these technologies to market. We perform full lifecycle testing for all devices we design and ultimately manufacture them for use in human surgeries. To date, our designs have served over 20 individuals, and in the coming years our designs will serve thousands of individuals who wish to use our implant technology.
Job Description and Responsibilities:
As an Electrical Engineer on the Surgery & Robot Hardware Team, you will be expected to design, verify, and oversee the transition to production of a variety of custom electronics systems. This role offers substantial autonomy and the exciting opportunity to own creative decisions and execute on new, impactful projects such as robotics stage designs, motor drives and controls, custom camera designs, manufacturing automation, and the firmware that enables all of these devices.
Required Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field or equivalent experience
  • Professional experience delivering on all phases of electronics design (requirements, part selection, schematic, layout, manufacturing, test)
  • Demonstrated depth in at least one of the following:
    • Power electronics: experience designing custom power conversion, distribution, eFusing, and battery management systems in the low-to-medium (1W-2kW) range
    • FPGA hardware design for time sensitive systems such as image processing, high-speed data acquisition, or real time networking. Professional experience in FPGA selection, RTL development, digital signal processing theory and techniques, and hardware design to interface high speed physical layer devices via PCIe, MIPI, SLVS-ec, LVDS, etc
    • Test automation design: professional experience architecting and implementing manufacturing automation solutions for products that currently ship at the scale of 1000's+
  • Practical electronics design knowledge including designing for EMC, ESD, thermals and packaging

Preferred Qualifications:
  • A portfolio showcasing your hardware designs
  • Demonstrable experience developing electronics for safety critical systems such as medical devices, aerospace, automotive, or military
  • Demonstrable experience shipping code in one of the following languages: C, C++, Python, or Rust
  • Altium experience

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:
$105,000-$175,500 USD
