Clinical Scientist

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.

The Neuralink Clinical team is at the heart of an ecosystem that merges neuroscience, engineering, and medicine. We work to shape the future of brain‑computer interface (BCI) technology through the planning, launch, and execution of groundbreaking human clinical trials. Our team is built on a foundation of excellence, aiming to uphold the highest standards of Good Clinical Practice (GCP) while redefining what’s possible and revolutionizing the way people interact with technology.

Through strict compliance with ethical and regulatory protocols, we focus on ensuring the well‑being of our trial participants while advancing the frontiers of neuroscience. Every day will bring fresh challenges and unprecedented opportunities to pioneer new approaches in the pursuit of our mission. From navigating regulatory pathways, designing trial protocols and documentation, and executing clinical trials, our team is instrumental in translating Neuralink’s BCI technology for use in people!

As a Clinical Scientist I, you will support the development, design, and execution of Neuralink’s clinical evidence strategy. This role focuses on translating product and research objectives into clinical study designs, supporting data analysis, and ensuring scientific rigor across clinical programs.

This individual is a self‑driven and analytically strong individual who can contribute to clinical strategy while executing with precision. The ideal contributor is detail‑oriented, collaborative, and comfortable working in a fast‑paced, multidisciplinary environment.

In this role, you will:

• Support the design and development of clinical study protocols, including endpoints, inclusion/exclusion criteria, and statistical considerations
• Contribute to clinical strategy by translating research and product goals into evidence‑generating study plans
• Partner with other team members to support execution of clinical studies and ensure alignment between scientific intent and operational delivery
• Build and maintain strong working relationships with internal teams, investigators, and external partners
• Support preparation of study‑related documents, including protocols, investigator brochures, clinical study reports, and regulatory submissions
• Contribute to EDC and CRF design by ensuring alignment between protocol objectives, endpoints, and data collection strategy
• Translate clinical and scientific requirements into structured, high‑quality data capture and validation approaches
• Assist in data review, analysis, and interpretation to evaluate safety and performance outcomes
• Contribute to development of abstracts, presentations, and publications
• Support interactions with ethics committees (e.g., IRB, RECs) and regulatory bodies as needed
• Ensure scientific and clinical activities are conducted in compliance with Good Clinical Practice (GCP), applicable regulations, and internal SOPs
• Identify data trends, inconsistencies, or risks and proactively communicate findings to the broader team

• Familiarity with statistical methods or programming (e.g., Python, R)
• 5+ years of experience in clinical research or scientific roles within medical devices or related fields
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills with the ability to interpret complex data
• Familiarity with clinical study design, endpoints, and data analysis concepts
• Working knowledge of Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and basic regulatory requirements (e.g., ISO 14155)
• Ability to work cross‑functionally with clinicians, engineers, and operational teams
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, particularly in scientific and technical contexts
• High attention to detail and ability to manage multiple priorities

• Experience with neurological, neurosurgical, or implantable medical device studies
• Experience supporting protocol development, data analysis, or clinical reporting
• Publications or…
