Neuralink is a neurotechnology company building a generalized input/output platform for the brain. Our work has the potential to restore autonomy to those with unmet medical needs and fundamentally transform how humans interact with the world. Our core technology is an implantable brain-computer interface with ultra-thin, flexible electrode threads placed precisely by a surgical robot, enabling high-bandwidth, bidirectional interaction with neural signals. We’ve received multiple FDA Breakthrough Device designations and are conducting clinical trials around the world. Trial participants are exploring how our implant could enhance their daily lives — controlling digital devices like computers and smartphones, operating physical devices like robotic arms and wheelchairs, and translating thought directly into speech and text. Developing brain-computer interfaces is an interdisciplinary challenge, and we’re looking for exceptional talent across engineering, science, and operations.
