Neuralink
EMC Compliance Engineer
About this role
Neuralink seeks an EMC Compliance Engineer to lead electromagnetic compatibility strategy and testing for brain-computer interface devices, surgical robotics, and wireless charging systems. This role combines hands-on bench debugging with regulatory coordination to ensure medical device compliance throughout the product lifecycle.
What you'll do
- Own end-to-end EMC compliance strategy, testing (emissions, immunity, ESD, EFT, surge), and debugging for implantable electronics, surgical robotics, and external systems
- Collaborate with hardware, firmware, mechanical, and manufacturing teams to identify EMC risks early and drive design mitigations like grounding, shielding, and PCB layout optimization
- Develop internal EMC test capabilities including setups, fixtures, and measurement methods to reduce reliance on external labs
- Execute EMC impact assessments for design changes and maintain compliance documentation per IEC 60601-1-2 and FCC Part 18 standards
- Debug EMC failures using oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, near-field probes, and custom fixtures; perform root cause analysis
- Partner with external NRTL labs and regulatory bodies; contribute EMC data to FDA submissions and regulatory interactions
What they're looking for
- EMC/EMI/ESD/RF compliance testing and debugging
- Oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, near-field probes, LISNs, VNAs, RF amplifiers, ESD simulators
- Grounding, shielding, filtering, PCB layout, return-current control, and power integrity
- IEC 60601-1-2, FCC Part 18, and IEC 61000-series standards
- Schematic and PCB layout analysis; firmware and mechanical drawing interpretation
- Medical device design control and regulatory processes
- Cross-functional communication and issue closure
- ANSI/ESD S20.20 ESD control strategy
