About the job
About Neuralink:
At Neuralink, we are pioneering the development of innovative devices that facilitate a bi-directional interface with the human brain. Our mission is to restore movement to those affected by paralysis, enable sight for the visually impaired, and transform the way individuals engage with their digital environments.
Team Overview:
The Brain Interfaces Hardware Department is at the forefront of delivering cutting-edge chip architecture and silicon implementation for neural recording and stimulation system-on-chip (SoC) solutions, aimed at high-bandwidth brain-machine interface applications. Our team consists of highly skilled engineers dedicated to expanding the boundaries of current technology and shaping the future.
Role & Responsibilities:
As a Digital IC Design Engineer, you will be tasked with the micro-architecture design and register-transfer level (RTL) implementation of digital intellectual properties (IPs) and systems, focusing on high-throughput, low-power digital signal processors (DSPs) and general-purpose hardware accelerators. Ideal candidates will possess product development experience in micro-architecture design for low-power processors, on-chip bus and network interfaces, audio/video compression processors, AI/ML accelerators, and communication PHY/MAC.
- Micro-architecture design and RTL implementation of:
- Low-power digital signal processors
- Low-power general-purpose hardware accelerators
- Low-power graphics processing units
- Low-power radio MAC/PHY
- Low-power serial link MAC/PHY
- Collaborate with firmware engineers to design and optimize hardware/software interfaces.
- Optimize application-specific architectures, including:
- Complex system modeling for energy and performance benchmarks
- Workload analysis and modeling
- Energy/performance profiling and analysis
- Trade-offs between architecture design, process technology, and workload types
- Balancing cost and performance amidst manufacturing process variations
- Engage in silicon bring-up tests with verification engineers.
