Job Description and Responsibilities:

As a Field Clinical  Engineer, you will be on the front lines of Neuralink's clinical programs, working directly with participants, clinicians, and internal teams to translate cutting-edge neurotechnology into meaningful functional outcomes. This role is ideal for individuals with a background in PM&R, occupational therapy, or physical therapy who also have experience in medical devices and thrive in dynamic clinical environments.

You will play a critical role in bridging clinical care, engineering, and research by supporting device use, optimizing participant performance, and ensuring high-quality data collection in both clinical and home settings.

This role requires someone who is hands-on, clinically grounded, technically curious, and able to adapt quickly. You should be comfortable working with participants with significant neurological impairments and motivated by improving independence and quality of life.

In this role, you will:

• Work directly with study participants to support device use, training, and optimization during clinical sessions and at home
• Apply principles of rehabilitation (PM&R, OT, PT) to maximize participant outcomes and functional performance with the system
• Collaborate closely with surgeons, investigators, and site staff to ensure seamless clinical execution across all phases of the study
• Serve as the primary interface between participants and the technology, troubleshooting issues in real time and escalating when needed
• Support surgical and post-operative workflows, including intraoperative and early post-implant sessions where applicable
• Ensure high-quality, protocol-compliant data collection by aligning participant activities with study endpoints and data capture requirements
• Partner with clinical, engineering, and data teams to translate real-world use into actionable insights for product and algorithm development
• Identify trends in participant performance, usability challenges, and safety signals, and communicate clearly to cross-functional teams
• Contribute to development and refinement of training protocols, user workflows, and clinical best practices
• Support site onboarding, training, and ongoing engagement to ensure consistency and scalability across clinical sites
• Assist in preparation for regulatory inspections and ensure activities are conducted in compliance with GCP, protocol requirements, and internal procedures
• Travel to clinical sites as needed to support study execution and participant care

The ideal candidate:

• Has a clinical background in PM&R, occupational therapy, or physical therapy, with hands-on experience working with neurological populations (e.g., SCI, ALS, stroke)
• Has experience working with medical devices in a clinical or field-based role
• Is highly adaptable, proactive, and comfortable operating in a fast-paced, evolving environment
• Is technically curious and able to engage with engineers to troubleshoot and improve system performance
• Communicates clearly and builds trust with participants, clinicians, and cross-functional teams
• Is detail-oriented and understands the importance of protocol adherence and data integrity in clinical research

Required Qualifications: 

• Clinical training and hands-on experience in PM&R, occupational therapy, or physical therapy, with a focus on neurological populations (e.g., SCI, ALS, stroke)
• 3+ years of experience in a clinical, field-based, or medical device-adjacent role (rehab, neuromodulation, assistive technology, or similar)
• Demonstrated experience working directly with patients and clinicians in dynamic care environments
• Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to troubleshoot clinical and technical issues in real time
• Ability to interpret participant performance, functional outcomes, and device behavior to inform next steps
• Comfort working with technology, including basic data review and interaction with software-driven systems (no need to be a coder, but not afraid of one either)
• Working knowledge of clinical research principles, including protocol adherence, endpoint-driven activities, and data quality expectations
• Familiarity with Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and general clinical study conduct
• Ability to collaborate effectively across clinical, engineering, and operations teams
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to engage both participants and highly technical teams
• High attention to detail, with the ability to manage multiple participants, sites, and priorities simultaneously
• Willingness to travel frequently to support clinical sites and participants

Preferred Qualifications:

• Degree or formal training in bioengineering, biomedical engineering, or a related field, with exposure to neurotechnology or implantable systems
• Experience working with neuromodulation, brain-computer interfaces, or other neurorehabilitation technologies
• Prior experience in a clinical field engineer, clinical specialist, or applications role within a medical device company
• Experience supporting surgical procedures, intraoperative environments, or early post-implant programming and troubleshooting
• Familiarity with signal-based systems (e.g., neural data, EMG, EEG) and comfort interpreting system performance in real time
• Exposure to rehabilitation technology integration, including assistive devices, digital interfaces, or adaptive control systems
• Experience supporting multi-site clinical studies or working directly with investigators and study coordinators
• Comfort working with data systems (e.g., EDC platforms, basic data visualization tools) to review participant performance and study metrics
• Understanding of usability, human factors, and patient-centered design principles
• Prior involvement in training clinicians or participants on device use and workflows
• Experience working in early-stage or rapidly evolving clinical programs where processes are still being defined
