About this role
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.
Job Description and Responsibilities:
As Product Operations, you’ll collaborate with software engineers, neuroengineers, animal trainers, mechanical engineers, and clinical team members to develop the next-generation human Brain-Computer Interface (BCI).
The overarching responsibility of Product Operations is to be the interface between the Neuralink users and the other engineers of both the BCI application team and the broader company. As the bridge between the users and other engineers, there are two general roles Product Operations serve:
- Understand and communicate user needs:
- Interface with software and ML engineers to translate user needs into prioritized engineering goals
- Enhance user experience through supporting users with adopting the BCI, optimizing physical setup, and troubleshooting bugs
- Conduct user research through interviewing patients with quadriplegia, informing long-term product vision
2. Conduct and organize research experiments:
- Run daily sessions with clinical trial participants to evaluate neural decoding algorithms and user interface features (may require travel)
- Design experiment methodology (e.g. data collection practices, A/B tests, and qualitative frameworks)
- Analyze data and drive insights that guide R&D decisions (e.g. behavioral, BCI performance, and electrophysiological data)
- Run non-human primate (NHP) BCI research sessions
Required Qualifications:
- Bachelor's Degree in a science or engineering field (e.g., neuroscience, biology, engineering, physics, software), or equivalent experience
- Excellent interpersonal and communication skills
- Experience working with users for a product or service
- Experience in data collection and analysis (in Python)
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience working with participants in clinical studies
- Experience prototyping and designing a product or service for users
- Proficiency in collecting physiological or other time-series data
- Experience collecting and analyzing user feedback

About Neuralink
Neuralink is a team of exceptionally talented people. We are creating the future of brain-machine interfaces: building devices now that will help people with paralysis and inventing new technologies that will expand our abilities, our community, and our world. Our goal is to build a system with at least two orders of magnitude more communication channels (electrodes) than current clinically-approved devices. This system needs to be safe, it must have fully wireless communication through the skin, and it has to be ready for patients to take home and use on their own. Our device, called the Link, will be able to record from 1024 electrodes and is designed to meet these criteria.
