Software Engineer (Simulation)

Neuralink’s next generation surgical robot will perform brain surgery at scale, installing hundreds of tiny threads into the brain to enable brain computer communication

You will own the end to end surgical robot simulation. Perform surgery and run tests on the simulated robot. Reproduce faults, and automate verification. Your simulation will enable test & verification to run on every commit

Build the full robot sim: dynamics, sensors, actuators, and product-stack interfaces

Test the real robot software and firmware against simulated hardware

Write automated sim tests: scenarios, regressions, fault injection, and coverage

Make runs deterministic, measurable, and cheap enough to run in CI

Reproduce hardware failures in sim to accelerate our test timelines

The success of the project is on you. You talk to users, get feedback, and iterate fast

Note: The team is hiring engineers at all levels, both junior and senior. What matters most is evidence of exceptional abilities and a drive to succeed

Experience with async and concurrent systems, hardware interfaces, RPC, and telemetryStrong Rust skills; Python for test tooling and analysis. Bazel experience is a plusReal robotics / physics sim experience (MuJoCo, Isaac Sim, Gazebo, or equivalent)Required: Bachelor’s degree in a technical field (Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, etc.) or equivalent practical experienceExperience building automated integration tests and debugging failures across software and firmwareEffective at using AI agents to accelerate work while maintaining quality
