Green-card filing pattern in this occupation

Context, not a finding about this posting: of this employer's 3 green-card filings in this occupation, 100% were for a worker who already held the job.

Files H-1B transfers

5 transfer filings in the last year, covering 5 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 10 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.

Sourced from Department of Labor LCA, PERM and prevailing-wage disclosure data. Employer matching is by name, so figures may be split across an employer's legal entities. Absence of a filing means none appears in our copy of the data, not that none exists.

About the role

  • Stay current with advancements in EMC standards, medical device regulatory science, and related technologies; contribute to continuous improvement of compliance processes, SOPs, and knowledge sharing across teams.

Responsibilities

  • Work directly with hardware, firmware, mechanical, manufacturing, quality, and regulatory teams to identify EMC risks early in the design cycle, drive robust design mitigations (grounding, shielding, filtering, isolation, PCB layout and stackups), and support design reviews to imprint good EMC design practices.
  • Develop and expand internal EMC test capabilities, including test setups, fixtures, measurement methods, equipment selection/qualification, and processes that enable rapid design iteration and reduce reliance on external laboratories.
  • Own end-to-end EMC compliance strategy and plan/execute pre-compliance and formal EMC testing (conducted/radiated emissions, immunity, ESD, EFT, surge, voltage dips/interruptions, and wireless coexistence) for implantable electronics, surgical robotics, external wireless charging systems, and manufacturing line equipment, in accordance with IEC 60601-1-2, FCC Part 18, and related IEC 61000-series standards.
  • Debug EMC failures at the bench and in test labs using oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, near-field probes, current probes, LISNs, VNAs, ESD guns, RF amplifiers, signal generators, data loggers, and custom fixtures; perform root cause analysis and recommend effective mitigations.
  • Develop, execute, and maintain EMC test protocols, test reports, setup diagrams, deviations, engineering rationales, risk assessments, and requirement traceability for complex systems involving implants, chargers, and robots.
  • Partner with external NRTL and EMC test laboratories (e.g., UL, TÜV, Intertek) for formal testing and certification; own interactions with regulatory bodies (e.g., FDA, notified bodies) regarding EMC and RF data, test strategies, and responses; and contribute EMC data and documentation to regulatory submissions (IDE, PMA, etc.).
  • Own ESD control strategy for manufacturing lines, including workstation qualification, grounding verification, ionization, packaging, handling procedures, operator controls, equipment qualification, audits, and failure investigations aligned with ANSI/ESD S20.20.
  • The EMC Compliance Engineer will own EMC compliance strategy, test planning, execution, debugging, and documentation across implantable electronics, surgical robotics, external wireless charging systems, and manufacturing.
  • Build a culture of EMC-by-design: educate design teams, create design guidelines and review checklists, define EMC requirements and closure criteria, and integrate EMC considerations throughout the product development lifecycle.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related discipline.
  • 3+ years of hands-on EMC, EMI, ESD, RF, and electrical compliance experience on complex electronic systems.
  • Ability to read schematics, PCB layouts, cable drawings, mechanical assemblies, system block diagrams, and firmware state diagrams well enough to identify EMC failure modes.
  • Working knowledge of IEC 60601-1-2, FCC Part 18, and related IEC 61000-series immunity tests, including ESD, radiated immunity, conducted immunity, EFT, surge, voltage dips/interruptions, and emissions testing.
  • We produce the rigorous evidence required to support rapid development, regulatory progress, and the safe, effective delivery of our technology to patients.

Nice to have

  • Experience with BLE, Wi-Fi, 5G, UWB, or other wireless systems in regulated products, including wireless coexistence testing and risk assessment per ANSI C63.27 (or equivalent).
  • Experience with international EMC and RF regulatory requirements and certifications (e.g., EU RED/CE marking, ISED Canada, MIC Japan, KC Korea) and CISPR emissions standards (e.g., CISPR 11).
  • Familiarity with manufacturing ESD controls, including ANSI/ESD S20.20-style programs, workstation audits, grounding, ionization, packaging, operator handling, and production-equipment qualification.
  • Experience writing test protocols, reports, deviations, engineering rationales, risk assessments, and requirement traceability in a regulated or quality-controlled development process.
  • 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.
  • As such, in addition to base salary, Neuralink offers equity compensation (in the form of Restricted Stock Units (RSU)) for all full-time employees.
  • $103,000 - $191,000 USD
