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. About the Team Supply Chain owns the external manufacturing network that builds and delivers every component going into the Implant and the Robot. The Supplier Industrialization Engineering (SIE) function partners with Design, Quality, Manufacturing, and Strategic Sourcing to take parts from prototype through volume production at our external partners — ensuring suppliers can deliver to Neuralink’s technical, cost, schedule, and regulatory requirements throughout the product lifecycle. About the Role As a Supplier Industrialization Engineer, you will own component industrialization at our external suppliers across the full breadth of what goes into the Implant and the Robot. This is explicitly a generalist role: rather than specializing in a single commodity, you will move across machined parts, molded plastics, electromechanical assemblies, PCBAs, optics, hermetic packaging, coatings, and biocompatible materials — going wherever the program needs the most engineering horsepower. You will lead parts from supplier selection and process qualification, through NPI builds, ramp, and into sustaining production, working hands-on at supplier sites to ensure manufacturing processes are capable, controlled, and audit-ready. Because Neuralink’s products are implanted in patients, the bar for supplier quality, traceability, and process discipline is exceptionally high — your work directly enables us to put more devices into more patients, safely. We expect this person to be biased toward learning new manufacturing domains rapidly, to be comfortable owning parts they have not personally built before, and to bring strong first-principles engineering judgment to every supplier conversation. We are hiring across multiple levels. Early-career engineers will own a focused portfolio of parts with strong mentorship; senior and staff engineers will own multi-commodity strategy across programs, lead the toughest supplier recoveries, and set the technical bar for the function. What You'll Do Industrialization & NPI • Own industrialization end-to-end for a portfolio of parts spanning mechanical, electromechanical, electronic, optical, and materials commodities going into the Implant and the Robot. • Drive supplier readiness for NPI builds, design changes, and ramp-to-volume — including capacity planning, fixture and tooling design, and line build-outs. Design & Manufacturing Engineering • Partner with Design Engineering on DFM/DFA/DFT reviews early in the development cycle to drive manufacturability, yield, cost, and reliability into the design. • Translate design intent (drawings, GD&T, specifications) into supplier-actionable manufacturing requirements, control plans, and inspection plans. Process Qualification & Quality • Qualify supplier manufacturing processes through PPAP/APQP, FAI, capability studies (Cp/Cpk), gage R&R, and process validation (IQ/OQ/PQ where applicable); ensure first-time-right launches. • Partner with Quality Engineering to ensure our suppliers meet ISO 13485 and 21 CFR Part 820 expectations — with appropriate change control, traceability, and validation documentation. Supplier Performance & Corrective Action • Lead containment, root cause, and corrective action (8D, RCCA) for non-conforming material; close issues quickly while raising the underlying process bar so they do not recur. • Build supplier scorecards and apply SPC, Lean, and continuous-improvement methods to improve yield, cycle time, cost, and on-time delivery across the supply base.
