Software Engineer (Robot Manufacturing)
Posted Updated
- 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 you’ll build
- This is the backbone of how we scale from early production to meeting real clinical demand
- We’re 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 you’ll be the one designing and building the systems that make all of that possible
- We operate as a tight, high-trust team
- You’ll have direct ownership and the autonomy to solve hard problems, but also high expectations
- We’re 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
- As a Software Engineer on the Robot Manufacturing Team, you’ll work directly with robot engineers and surgical engineers to understand what they need, then build it
- You won’t be handed a spec doc from a product manager three layers removed from the problem
- Some days you’re 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 you’re 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. You’ll have real ownership over the direction this stack grows
- You can talk to users, understand their problems, and translate that into well-built software. This role is deeply collaborative
- You’re comfortable with ambiguity. Manufacturing at this scale hasn’t been done before for this kind of device
- 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
- You’ve built software that real people use
- You take ownership. When your software breaks on the floor, you fix it
