Hiring: Software Engineer, Robot Manufacturing Company: Neuralink Location: South San Francisco, CA Job Posted Time: 2026-09-10 10:34:29 Employment Type: Full-time Target Skills & Keywords : Assembly, Rails, React, TypeScript About the job Required Skills: •The Robot Manufacturing Software team allows Neuralink to build neurosurgical robots at a scale that has never been done before. Every robot that ships was tracked, assembled, calibrated, and verified through the software you'll build. This is the backbone of how we scale from early production to meeting real clinical demand. •We're a small, tightly knit team - and this role is the first dedicated owner of the robot manufacturing software stack. As the company scales, so will the complexity, and you'll be the one designing and building the systems that make all of that possible. •We operate as a tight, high-trust team. You'll have direct ownership and the autonomy to solve hard problems, but also high expectations. •We're moving fast to meet clinical demand and keep up with deployments. 60-hour weeks are not uncommon, and there are stretches where the pace is high. This isn't for everyone. •As a Software Engineer on the Robot Manufacturing Team,  you'll work directly with robot engineers and surgical engineers to understand what they need, then build it. You won't be handed a spec doc from a product manager three layers removed from the problem. •Inventory and warehouse management systems that track every component going into a neurosurgical robot - from raw materials through final assembly •Lifecycle management software that engineers use to build, calibrate, verify, and maintain robots throughout their entire lifespan •Whatever else needs building. Qualifications: •A bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent demonstrated work experience •Strong full-stack engineering skills. Our stack is Ruby on Rails and React/TypeScript, but we care more about your ability to learn and ship than your resume matching our package.json •You've built software that real people use •You can talk to users, understand their problems, and translate that into well-built software. This role is deeply collaborative •You take ownership. When your software breaks on the floor, you fix it •You're comfortable with ambiguity. Manufacturing at this scale hasn't been done before for this kind of device •Base Salary Range:: $135,000 USD - $216,000 USD Compensation: •Excellent medical, dental, and vision insurance through a PPO plan Interested candidates, please apply directly through the job posting on company's career page or try via AI auto apply on this platform.
