Software Engineer, Robot Manufacturing

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 youll build. This is the backbone of how we scale from early production to meeting real clinical demand.

Were 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 youll be the one designing and building the systems that make all of that possible.

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

Were 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 isnt for everyone.

Job Description and Responsibilities:

As a Software Engineer on the Robot Manufacturing Team, youll work directly with robot engineers and surgical engineers to understand what they need, then build it. You wont be handed a spec doc from a product manager three layers removed from the problem.

Some days youre 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 youre 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.

Youll have real ownership over the direction this stack grows.

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

Youve built software that real people use
