Full 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 Robot Optics Team is seeking Optical Engineers passionate about shaping the future of operating rooms. We are responsible for all optical engineering aspects of Neuralink surgeries, which includes working on our surgical robotics, supporting operating room equipment, and manufacturing custom consumables. The core device we work on is the robotic system that performs implant insertions. Key subsystems include 2D and 3D machine vision cameras, optical coherence tomography, and surgical site illuminators.

Our team oversees the entire product lifecycle of all optical subsystems across multiple robot versions, from ideation and design through production, testing, and maintenance. We also design hardware for producing and inspecting consumables, such as laser-machined needle cartridges. As we manufacture a significant portion of our hardware in-house, our core activities include bring-up testing, designing hardware acceptance testers, and overseeing manufacturing processes.

Job Description and Responsibilities:

As an Optical Engineer at Neuralink, you will develop custom optics and imaging systems used directly in our surgical robot and associated consumables-manufacturing systems. These systems impact everything from sub-micron conventional imaging and laser scanning imaging to non-imaging optical power delivery. You will have the opportunity to work closely with mechanical, electrical, and software engineers on the Robotics Team and collaborate with neuroscientists and biologists in the rest of the company. You will be responsible for designs from conception through to implementation as well as prototyping and building these optical systems quickly with the rest of the team. Other job responsibilities will include:

Designing and simulating optical imaging systems
Testing, verification, and maintenance of robot vision systems
Designing and developing custom laser interferometry systems and manufacturing systems
Testing and verification of optics consumables
Building and testing of beam-scanning instruments
Developing image acquisition and processing software
Researching and developing new imaging technologies for robotic surgeries
Preparing relevant documentation and SOPs for robot optics

Required Qualifications:

Evidence of exceptional ability in optical engineering or a related field
Bachelor of Science or higher-level degree in Physics, Optical Engineering, or Mechanical Engineering
3+ years of optical engineering experience
2+ years of experience simulating and designing optics in Zemax or equivalent software
Practical experience in designing, testing, and reliability hardening optical systems
Basic computer skills and proficiency in Google Docs, Google Drive, and Gmail

Preferred Qualifications:

Experience in designing and testing of in-vivo imaging systems
Experience in handling high power laser instruments
Basic understanding in laser interferometry or optical coherence tomography
Hands-on experience in fabricating, terminating, and splicing optical fibers
Software engineering experience in developing scripts for instrument testing

What We Offer:

Full-time employees are eligible for the following benefits listed below.

An opportunity to change the world and work with some of the smartest and most talented experts from different fields
Growth potential; we rapidly advance team members who have an outsized impact
Excellent medical, dental, and vision insurance through a PPO plan
