About the role

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 Neuralink Clinical team is at the heart of an ecosystem that merges neuroscience, engineering, and medicine.
We work to shape the future of brain-computer interface (BCI) technology through the planning, launch, and execution of groundbreaking human clinical trials.

Work directly with study participants to support device use, training, and optimization during clinical sessions and at home
Collaborate closely with surgeons, investigators, and site staff to ensure seamless clinical execution across all phases of the study
Support surgical and post-operative workflows, including intraoperative and early post-implant sessions where applicable
Partner with clinical, engineering, and data teams to translate real-world use into actionable insights for product and algorithm development
Support site onboarding, training, and ongoing engagement to ensure consistency and scalability across clinical sites
Travel to clinical sites as needed to support study execution and participant care
Communicates clearly and builds trust with participants, clinicians, and cross-functional teams

Clinical training and hands-on experience in PM&R, occupational therapy, or physical therapy, with a focus on neurological populations (e.g., SCI, ALS, stroke)
Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to troubleshoot clinical and technical issues in real time
Ability to interpret participant performance, functional outcomes, and device behavior to inform next steps
Comfort working with technology, including basic data review and interaction with software-driven systems (no need to be a coder, but not afraid of one either)
Working knowledge of clinical research principles, including protocol adherence, endpoint-driven activities, and data quality expectations
Familiarity with Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and general clinical study conduct
Strong communication skills, with the ability to engage both participants and highly technical teams
The ideal candidate:

Has a clinical background in PM&R, occupational therapy, or physical therapy, with hands-on experience working with neurological populations (e.g., SCI, ALS, stroke)
Is highly adaptable, proactive, and comfortable operating in a fast-paced, evolving environment
Is technically curious and able to engage with engineers to troubleshoot and improve system performance
Is detail-oriented and understands the importance of protocol adherence and data integrity in clinical research
Degree or formal training in bioengineering, biomedical engineering, or a related field, with exposure to neurotechnology or implantable systems
Experience working with neuromodulation, brain-computer interfaces, or other neurorehabilitation technologies
Experience supporting surgical procedures, intraoperative environments, or early post-implant programming and troubleshooting
Familiarity with signal-based systems (e.g., neural data, EMG, EEG) and comfort interpreting system performance in real time

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.
We also believe in aligning our employees' success with the company's long-term growth.
As such, in addition to base salary, Neuralink offers equity compensation (in the form of Restricted Stock Units (RSU)) for all full-time employees.
