Software Engineer, Medical Imaging
NeuralInk
Summary
As a Medical Imaging Software Engineer, you will work with other engineers and clinicians to develop tools that enable rapid and precise placement of the Neuralink implant and its electrodes relative to targets determined by functional imaging like fMRI. You will own the end-to-end pipeline of medical imaging data at Neuralink, from ingesting the medical images from the scanner/imaging modality, to fusing different imaging techniques, and finally to navigating in the real world coordinates of the patient reference frame during surgery.

Company overview
Neuralink Corporation is an American neurotechnology company founded in 2016 by Elon Musk and a team of scientists and engineers. The company specializes in developing implantable brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) designed to create direct communication pathways between the human brain and external devices. Neuralink's primary mission is to help people with paralysis and neurological disorders by restoring motor function and sensory capabilities through advanced neural interfaces. The company's flagship technology, called the Link, is a coin-sized device that can record from over 1,000 electrodes and is implanted using a specialized surgical robot. Neuralink has achieved significant milestones including FDA approval for human clinical trials and successful implantations in patients with quadriplegia. The company's long-term vision extends beyond medical applications to include human enhancement and symbiosis with artificial intelligence. Based in Fremont, California, Neuralink represents a pioneering effort in the field of neurotechnology, combining expertise in neuroscience, robotics, electronics, and software engineering to push the boundaries of brain-machine interface technology.
