WHAT YOU’LL WORK ON
The hardest engineering problems
on Earth.
01 — HARDWARE
Build a coin-sized computer.
1,000+ channels that are amplified, digitized, spike-sorted, and wirelessly charged inside the skull.
POWER: LESS THAN A NIGHT LIGHT.
02 — ROBOTICS
Perform surgery that no human can.
Robots that insert hundreds of threads into the brain while carefully avoiding blood vessels.
PRECISION: FINER THAN A HUMAN HAIR.
03 — MACHINE LEARNING
Decode intent in milliseconds.
Foundation models that directly decode neural signals instead of text.
LATENCY: FASTER THAN THE BLINK OF AN EYE.
OUR PROGRESS
See it for yourself.
20+
implants in daily use
10+ bits/s

THE CULTURE
Do the best work of your career.
The problem
Hardcore engineering problems: frontier applications that cut across hardware, software, and biology. Your code ships inside a skull.
The people
The most talented colleagues you’ll ever work beside. Your manager writes code and clears your path.
The ownership
Own outcomes end-to-end. What you build will change the course of humanity.
The pace
Physics is the law; everything else is a recommendation. Decisions in hours instead of quarters. Think long term, ship today.
The resources
The compute you need to do cutting edge work. Work alongside people who have shipped the impossible before.
There’s work, and then there’s your life’s work.
OUR VALUES
How we operate
Focus on the user
Every decision traces back to the people who depend on this technology. Their outcomes are the only metric that can't be argued with.
Think from first principles
Reason from physics and evidence instead of precedent.
Deliver urgently without compromise
Speed and rigor aren't trade-offs here. The work has to be fast because people are waiting, and right because it ships into human beings.
Demand excellence
The bar is the best work of your life. Hold it for yourself and expect it from the person next to you.
Act with kindness
Direct feedback, hard problems, decent humans. Brilliance is not an excuse.
“
Neuralink is a much bigger breakthrough than most people realize. Enabling people to control a computer with their mind and the completely blind to see are Jesus-level miracles.
