About the role

Machine Learning Engineer role at Neuralink focused on decoding neural signals and building real-time, on-device ML systems for brain-computer interface applications, including brain-to-voice and full hand-and-arm decoding with strict latency constraints.

Responsibilities

  • Train models on neural spike data across sessions and participants so a new user’s decode works out of the box, and stays working through weeks of drift without supervised recalibration
  • Design online adaptation that keeps the closed loop stable while both the model and the user are learning
  • Compress a full hand-and-arm decoder to run with a tight latency budget on the user’s device
  • Build the pre-training and post-training stack for voice synthesis: self-supervised representation learning on neural recordings, supervised fine-tuning on paired data, reinforcement learning with intelligibility and naturalness rewards, feeding a streaming vocoder that produces speech in real time
  • Define what evidence justifies shipping a model update to someone’s brain-computer interface, then build the eval and rollout infrastructure to meet that bar
  • Feed learnings back into the hardware platform. Our ASIC, thin-film arrays, and the rest of the brain implant are built in-house and follow your engineering gradient

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree (or higher) in Computer Science, a related field, or equivalent experience
