Neuralink is building high bandwidth brain computer interfaces. Our approach requires a surgical robot to manipulate and safely insert hundreds of ~50um x ~5um x ~20mm electrodes. The robotics team is looking for good software engineers to join us. You don't need to be a robotics engineer, but you should have proficiency in C++ and a desire to work on high reliability safety critical systems.
For more context on the robotics work we have here, you can check out this paper on one of our older systems: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/biorxiv/early/2019/08/02/703...
Also, here are some videos of that same version of robot in action (warning: brain images in the 2nd and 3rd!):
1. Insertion into parafilm over agar ( https://youtu.be/YmI6FIV1zXU )
2. View of moving brain while placing targets ( https://youtu.be/M6xC5rJGeYQ )
3. View of insertion cycle at 1/4 speed ( https://youtu.be/goJJYJH8fhE )
