About Neuralink:
We are creating devices that enable a bi-directional interface with the brain. These devices allow us to restore movement to the paralyzed, restore sight to the blind, and revolutionize how humans interact with their digital world.
Team Description:
The Surgery Engineering team is responsible for developing and managing custom hardware and processes for neurosurgical procedures, excluding the R1 Robot and Operator Station. Their responsibilities encompass the entire surgical process, including patient positioning, incision management, craniectomy, precise implant placement, thread management during robot-assisted insertion, surgical site irrigation, implant installation, and closure. Additionally, the team ensures safe explantation and upgrade procedures for implants. They also provide mechanical engineering support to the animal care, histology, and BCI teams, contributing to the success of complex neurosurgical procedures and related research activities.
Job Description and Responsibilities:
As a Medical Imaging Software Engineer, you will work with other engineers and clinicians to develop tools that enable rapid and precise placement of the Neuralink implant and its electrodes relative to targets determined by functional imaging like fMRI. You will own the end-to-end pipeline of medical imaging data at Neuralink, from ingesting the medical images from the scanner/imaging modality, to fusing different imaging techniques, and finally to navigating in the real world coordinates of the patient reference frame during surgery. Additionally, you will be expected to:
•
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 electrodes targets based on pre-operative imaging
•
Develop a system to pass the preoperative medical images to the surgical robot
•
Interface with intraoperative hardware for patient and tool tracking
