## 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 Brain Interfaces Embedded Systems Team, a division of the Brain Interfaces Hardware Department, owns the development of high-performance, safety-critical embedded systems for the next-generation of brain-computer interfaces. As a key member of our team, you will gain hands-on training, work alongside accomplished mentors, and contribute to real-world projects.

**Job Description and Responsibilities:**

We are looking for experienced, hands-on engineers who are interested in exploring what's possible in highly powered and latency-constrained environments. Firmware is the kernel of operation for the implant and you have the chance to determine and implement features that have a massive impact on the product’s capabilities. You will have the opportunity to collaborate closely with chip designers, electrical engineers, algorithms engineers, and software engineers on a small, agile team. The job responsibilities will include:

- Building on your ability to work cross functionally, working with engineers who deliver safety-critical systems while considering power, radio, and thermal requirements

- Gaining an understanding of delivering products and/or core features from planning and design to execution and testing

- Growing your fundamental understanding of hardware while contributing to bare-metal firmware in C

- Contributing to codebase organization, prioritizing modular formats that allow for elegant hardware bifurcation in the field

- Developing the ability to contribute to system improvements that decrease latency and increase battery life, reliability, and safety

**Required Qualifications:**
