Sponsorship verdict
Sponsorship possible
One solid signal, not two — worth applying, and worth asking about sponsorship early.
- Employer is on a government sponsor recordThe US Department of Labor certified 21 H-1B/E-3 labor condition applications for this employer between Oct 2025 and Jun 2026 (latest Jun 2026) — the step every H-1B hire needs first. USCIS also records 2 H-1B approvals in FY2023. Source: LCA disclosure data (US Department of Labor (OFLC)).
- The posting doesn’t mention sponsorshipSilence isn’t a refusal — ask the recruiter before investing much time.
- No salary bar for this routeH-1B has no fixed salary bar: the employer must pay at least the prevailing wage for the role and area. Cap-subject employers enter a lottery weighted by wage level.

- What Neuralink Corp paid sponsored hires in similar roles3 certified filings for “Physical Design and Verification Engineer” (Electrical Engineers) in CA: $134k–$193k, median $165k. Most were filed at wage level II (33%) — 2 lottery entries, ≈31% projected selection odds for cap-subject employers. Source: US Department of Labor LCA disclosure data (Oct 2025 – Jun 2026).
- Confirmed live todayWhen a source last listed this job as open.
US H-1B: cap-subject employers enter a lottery weighted by wage level — Level I gets 1 entry, Level IV gets 4 (DHS projected selection odds ≈15% at Level I to ≈61% at Level IV). Universities and non-profit research employers are cap-exempt. The $100,000 fee for new petitions from abroad is currently blocked by a court order (appeal pending).

About the role
About Neuralink: We are creating devices that enable a bi-directional interface with the brain. These devices allow us to restore movement to the paralyzed, restore sight to the blind, and revolutionize how humans interact with their digital world. Team Description: We build the electrical systems that make high-bandwidth brain–computer interfaces possible. This includes neural signal acquisition and stimulation to wireless power delivery, embedded processing, and system integration—all within devices small enough to be implanted in the human body and efficient enough to operate under strict thermal and power constraints. Our work sits at the intersection of analog, RF, digital, and biological systems. Many problems in this space do not present clean abstractions or clear failure modes. Success often depends on careful measurement, iteration, and engineering judgment across multiple interacting systems. Job Responsibilities : • Utilize electrical engineering fundamentals and best system design practices to deliver high-performant, reliable, and manufacturable extremely size-constraint systems • Contribute to all phases of system and board design, from system definition to part selection, schematic design, layout, bring up, and design verification • Help conduct R&D investigations and experiments to demonstrate feasibility of new technology for the implant and the charger • Work cross functionally to ensure successful systems integration • Contribute to system improvements that decrease latency and increase battery life, reliability, and safety • Design and deploy systems for implant-charger hardware in the loop testing, and manufacturing line quality control Note: The team is hiring electrical engineers at all levels, both junior and senior. What matters most is evidence of exceptional abilities and a drive to succeed. Required Qualifications: • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience • Strong electrical engineering and physics fundamentals, with demonstrated ability to apply them under real-world constraints (noise, power, size, non-ideal interfaces) • Proven ability to independently design, bring up, debug, and verify complex PCBAs operating under tight power and size constraints, including mixed-signal circuits, sensitive sensor interfaces, and embedded compute • Experience debugging systems where issues span multiple domains (analog, digital, RF, power) and root causes are not immediately obvious • Deep familiarity with lab instrumentation (oscilloscopes, power supplies, spectrum analyzers, VNAs) and the ability to extract meaningful insight from imperfect measurements Preferred Qualifications: • Experience shipping highly integrated, size- and power-constrained devices (e.g., wearables, implantables, compact wireless systems) • Experience with wireless systems and RF design tradeoffs (BLE, Wi-Fi, antenna design, coexistence) • Experience supporting hardware through manufacturing at scale, including yield, test, and failure analysis • Experience in safety-critical or regulated environments, where reliability and risk must be explicitly managed • Familiarity with mechanical integration constraints (CAD tools, packaging, stack-ups) • Experience with electromagnetic simulation and antenna validation (FEM/FDTD or equivalent) Expected 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. We also believe in aligning our employees’ success with the company's long-term growth. As such, in addition to base salary, Neuralink offers equity compensation (in the form of Restricted Stock Units (RSU)) for all full-time emp
