Neuralink is developing brain-computer interface devices to restore movement to the paralyzed, restore sight to the blind, and revolutionize human-digital interaction.
The Surgery Engineering team develops custom hardware and processes for neurosurgical procedures. As a Medical Imaging Software Engineer, you will own the end-to-end pipeline of medical imaging data at Neuralink, working with engineers and clinicians to enable rapid and precise placement of the Neuralink implant and its electrodes relative to targets determined by functional imaging like fMRI.
Key responsibilities include:
- Import and manipulate 3D medical imaging datasets
- Build and deploy applications to manage large amounts of medical image data
- Build and deploy a Graphical User Interface to allow engineers and clinicians to place electrode targets based on pre-operative imaging
- Develop a system to pass preoperative medical images to the surgical robot
- Interface with intraoperative hardware for patient and tool tracking
You will work across the full pipeline from ingesting medical images from scanners/imaging modalities, to fusing different imaging techniques, and finally to navigating in the real-world coordinates of the patient reference frame during surgery.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Evidence of exceptional ability in engineering or computer science
- Proven track record of shipping software with real-world impact
- Understanding of how systems work at a fundamental level
- Practical proficiency in linear algebra
- Experience coding in Python, Rust, and/or JavaScript
- Experience manipulating and visualizing 3D objects (e.g., game development, VR/AR, medical imaging)
- Bachelor's degree in a technical field (Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, etc.) OR equivalent practical experience
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
- Experience with medical imaging formats, such as DICOM and NIfTI
- Experience working with protected health information
- Knowledge of container management and orchestration
- Experience with infrastructure development
