The posting, in Neuralink's own words
archived Sep 3, 2026About 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:
The Supply Chain team owns the internal and external manufacturing and supplier network behind every component of the Implant and the Robot. Dimensional Quality sits inside that team as Neuralink's measurement authority: we inspect purchased parts at incoming, verify first articles from suppliers and the machine shop, and own the CMM fleet that makes those calls defensible. We partner daily with Design, Manufacturing Engineering, Quality, and Sourcing so fit, form, and function issues get caught at the source, and so our inspection systems scale with the clinical and commercial roadmap.

Job Description and Responsibilities:
We are hiring a Metrologist / Senior CMM Operator to be the dimensional measurement authority at Neuralink. You will own programming, fixturing, and reporting on our CMM fleet, stand up a real Incoming Quality Control (IQC) workflow for purchased parts, provide first-article and in-process inspection for in-house machined parts, and train and certify additional operators across the company so this capability scales with our roadmap. This is a hands-on role with broad scope and direct exposure to design, manufacturing, and supplier-quality engineers. Own CMM programming, fixturing, calibration, and measurement uncertainty for Neuralink's bridge CMM, optical CMM, and portable arm fleet (Zeiss / Hexagon / Romer / FaroArm class equipment). Build the IQC workflow for purchased parts: Sample plans, AS9102 / first-article review, independent CMM verification of critical features, and a clean NCR loop back to suppliers. Perform first-article and in-process inspection on in-house machined parts — flexures, housings, Titanium / PEEK components, and other small, complex, tight-tolerance geometry. Apply ASME Y14.5 GD&T rigorously: Build defensible datum schemes, choose appropriate alignments, and run contact and scanning routines that produce reproducible results. Generate clean, reviewable inspection reports (PC-DMIS, Calypso, PolyWorks, or equivalent) that feed directly into design reviews and supplier scorecards. Author and own the CMM operator training curriculum; certify additional operators across machinists, technicians, and interested engineers so we are never single-threaded on one person. Partner with Design, Manufacturing Engineering, Quality, and Supplier Quality on tolerance stack-ups, datum strategy, fixture design, and capability studies before parts release to fab. Maintain calibration, traceability, and gage R&R for measurement equipment; help mature our quality system toward audit-ready (ISO 13485 / FDA QSR) standards. Visit suppliers as needed to debug fit / form / function issues at the source and accelerate corrective actions.
