Signal Processing Engineer

About the Company

Neuralink is creating devices that enable a bi-directional interface with the brain to restore movement to the paralyzed, restore sight to the blind, and revolutionize human-digital interaction.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop signal processing algorithms for sensing neural activity and monitoring electrode health
• Develop numerical algorithms and custom data compression to increase radio throughput
• Develop fixed-point or quantized versions of algorithms optimized for constrained hardware
• Implement and verify algorithms in high-level languages and transition them to hardware-friendly representations
• Perform algorithm-to-architecture mapping to analyze trade-offs between accuracy, latency, power, and resource utilization
• Collaborate with digital design teams to define micro-architectures for custom on-chip processing pipelines

Requirements

• BS, MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Signal Processing, or a related field
• 3+ years in digital signal processing algorithm development or real-world products
• Focus on embedded or hardware-constrained implementations
• Fluency in signal processing fundamentals (analog and digital)
• Familiarity with fixed-point arithmetic and quantization effects
• Proficiency in Python and C for prototyping and simulation

Preferred Qualifications

• Hands-on experience with Verilog/VHDL or transitioning algorithms to RTL
• Experience with dedicated DSP cores or accelerators
• Track record of optimizing for power, area, and latency in resource-constrained environments

Benefits

• Equity (RSUs)
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k) plan
• Paid holidays and flexible time off
• Commuter benefits and provided meals
