About the role

  • Because Neuralink's products are implanted in patients, the bar for supplier quality, traceability, and process discipline is exceptionally high - your work directly enables us to put more devices into more patients, safely.
  • We expect this person to be biased toward learning new manufacturing domains rapidly, to be comfortable owning parts they have not personally built before, and to bring strong first-principles engineering judgment to every supplier conversation.

Responsibilities

  • Own industrialization end-to-end for a portfolio of parts spanning mechanical, electromechanical, electronic, optical, and materials commodities going into the Implant and the Robot.
  • Drive supplier readiness for NPI builds, design changes, and ramp-to-volume - including capacity planning, fixture and tooling design, and line build-outs.
  • Design & Manufacturing Engineering
  • Partner with Design Engineering on DFM/DFA/DFT reviews early in the development cycle to drive manufacturability, yield, cost, and reliability into the design.
  • Translate design intent (drawings, GD&T, specifications) into supplier-actionable manufacturing requirements, control plans, and inspection plans.
  • Partner with Quality Engineering to ensure our suppliers meet ISO 13485 and 21 CFR Part 820 expectations - with appropriate change control, traceability, and validation documentation.
  • Lead containment, root cause, and corrective action (8D, RCCA) for non-conforming material
  • Build supplier scorecards and apply SPC, Lean, and continuous-improvement methods to improve yield, cycle time, cost, and on-time delivery across the supply base.

Requirements

  • You should be able to point to at least two distinct process areas in which you have personally driven engineering outcomes.
  • Proficiency with common engineering and data tools (e.g., SolidWorks or equivalent CAD for reading models, Minitab or Python/R for data analysis, ERP/PLM systems, JIRA or equivalent for tracking work).
  • Hands-on experience leading structured root-cause and corrective-action work (8D, RCCA, fishbone, 5-Whys, fault-tree) on real production issues - from containment through verified, closed-loop fix.
  • B.S. in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Industrial, Electrical, Materials, Chemical, Biomedical, Aerospace, or a related engineering discipline - or equivalent practical experience that demonstrates the same technical depth.

Nice to have

  • Regulated & Complex Hardware Experience
  • Direct hands-on experience with PPAP, APQP, FAI, PFMEA, control plans, MSA, SPC, and process validation (IQ/OQ/PQ).
  • Track record of leading 8D/RCCA on supplier quality escapes - from first containment through verified closure.
  • Certifications & Language
  • Lean/Six Sigma certification (Green Belt or Black Belt).
  • Working proficiency in a second language commonly used with international suppliers (Mandarin, German, Japanese, or Spanish a plus).
  • Expected Compensation:
  • We also believe in aligning our employees' success with the company's long-term growth.

Compensation

  • The anticipated base salary for this position is expected to be within the following range.
  • Your actual base pay will be determined by your job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
