UI Design Engineer

Neuralink is looking for an experienced UI Design Engineer to conceptualize, prototype, and ship novel computing interfaces for BCI, in collaboration with study participants and domain experts.

Responsibilities

• Design, prototype, build, and ship novel computing interfaces for BCI
• Partner with study participants to iterate on and further refine these interfaces
• Collaborate with domain experts in neuroscience, machine learning, and implant engineering to improve precision and fluidity within Neuralink’s constraint-space

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Human-Computer Interaction, or related field (or equivalent experience)
• Portfolio demonstrating end-to-end experience designing and shipping features, including concept, prototyping, release, and iteration
• Proficiency with Apple frameworks such as SwiftUI, UIKit/AppKit, and/or Metal, or an equivalent transferable stack (e.g., React, Three.js, WebGPU)
• Familiarity with Objective-C, C, and/or C++

Technologies

• SwiftUI
• UIKit
• AppKit
• Metal
• React
• Three.js
• WebGPU
• Objective-C
• C
• C++

Role Focus

• Explore an open-ended, multi-disciplinary, constrained design space where choices are informed by neural structure, model architecture, radio bandwidth, and more
• Develop an intuitive sense for the right fidelity to pursue, from conversation and rough sketches to testable prototypes
• Work within and push the boundaries of a new medium of interaction that does not rely on traditional sensory feedback from physical input devices
• Empathize with people who experience interaction differently and design systems that feel compelling beyond the “works” baseline
• Maintain a strong point-of-view while iterating with discipline through testing, deleting, and learning from ideas that do not work

About Neuralink

• Creating devices enabling a bi-directional interface with the brain
• Devices aim to restore movement for people with paralysis, restore sight for people who are blind, and change how humans interact with digital systems

Team Description

• The BCI Applications Team builds Telepathy.app, software that helps people with paralysis use computing devices with precision and ease through thought alone
• Team includes expertise spanning neuroscience, machine learning, software engineering, and interface design
