Software Engineer Intern, BCI Applications

Neuralink is at the forefront of brain-computer interface technology, developing revolutionary devices that create a direct connection between the human brain and computers. As a Software Engineer Intern on the BCI Applications team, you'll be part of a mission to restore capabilities to those with paralysis and transform how humans interact with technology.

The role offers a unique opportunity to work directly with clinical trial participants, allowing you to see the immediate impact of your work on real users. You'll be developing software systems that enable people to control computers, phones, gaming consoles, and robotic arms using just their thoughts. The team is also working on groundbreaking projects to restore speech to mute individuals and enable direct neural communication with AI agents.

The position requires strong Python programming skills, with TypeScript and Swift as valuable additions to your toolkit. You'll be working in a multidisciplinary environment alongside software engineers, design engineers, ML engineers, and neuro-engineers. This diversity of expertise creates a rich learning environment where you can grow both technically and professionally.

Key responsibilities include developing and testing software systems, designing new BCI functionalities, and creating novel computer user interfaces. You'll also be involved in implementing algorithms to decode brain activity and designing user experiences centered around brain control. The role offers hands-on experience with cutting-edge technology while making a meaningful difference in people's lives.

The compensation package includes an hourly rate of $35 USD for California-based interns, along with various benefits such as medical, dental, and vision insurance, commuter benefits, and provided meals. While some benefits like equity, 401(k), and parental leave are excluded for interns, the experience and exposure to revolutionary technology make this an exceptional opportunity for career growth.

The position requires working on-site in Fremont, California, allowing you to collaborate closely with the team and access the specialized equipment necessary for BCI development. This internship is perfect for someone who is not only technically skilled but also passionate about using technology to improve human lives and push the boundaries of what's possible in human-computer interaction.
