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: The Brain Interfaces Soc Department delivers chip architecture and silicon implementation of neural recording and stimulation system-on-chip (SoC) for high-bandwidth brain-machine interface applications. We have crafted a team of exceptional engineers whose mission is to push the frontiers of what is possible today and define the future. Job Description & Responsibilities: Our Hardware/ Software Co-Design Engineer will be responsible for delivering micro-architecture and register-transfer level (RTL) implementation of digital IPs and systems with a focus in high-throughput low-power digital signal processor (DSP) and general-purpose hardware accelerators towards realizing state-of-the-art brain-computer interfaces. Relevant product development experience in micro-architecture design for low-power processors, on-chip bus and network interfaces, audio/video compression processors, AI/ML accelerators, and communication PHY/MAC will be preferred. Micro-architecture design and RTL implementation of: Low-power digital signal processors Low-power general-purpose hardware accelerators Low-power graphics processing units Low-power radio MAC/PHY Low-power serial link MAC/PHY Design and optimization of hardware/software interface with firmware engineers Application-specific architecture optimization including: Complex system modeling for energy and performance benchmarks Workload analysis and modeling Energy/performance profiling and analysis Leveraging architecture-level design trade-offs with process technology and workload type Balancing cost and performance under manufacturing process variation Collaboration on silicon bring-up tests with verification engineers Required Qualifications: Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in Electrical Engineering and/or Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent experience Evidence of exceptional ability in electrical engineering, computer science, or computer engineering Experience designing and implementing embedded software in C or Rust Expertise in SystemVerilog, C/C++, Python Experience designing and implementing emulation models, transactors, and test environments to replicate hardware behavior Experience working on complex digital systems from architecture, microarchitecture, and RTL, using industry standard tools Experience in designing digital signal processing pipelines, from algorithm to RTL Preferred Qualifications: Experience in architecture optimization with process technology customization Experience in the verification of complex digital systems, using industry standard tools Experience in the physical design of complex digital systems, using industry standard tools Experience testing and debugging digital system-on-a-chips Functional modeling experience and logic verification with SystemVerilog, SystemC/C++ Experience automating tool flows Experience in processor instruction set architecture design Experience in compiler back-end design and customization 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.

Here's how to pick the right one and stand out in your application.

That number is real. WorkMundi's database shows 144,883 open engineer roles across the world. India has the most with 31,687 jobs, followed by the United States with 30,084. If you just finished reading one job ad and felt paralyzed by choice, you're not alone—but this scale is actually an advantage. It means you can afford to be selective.
Start by geography and language. The majority of engineer ads—117,837 of them—have the job posting text written in English. Use that as one filter, but remember: the ad text language tells you nothing about whether the role actually requires you to speak English day-to-day. Read the job description carefully. Then check which countries have the volume you're targeting. Singapore, Poland, and Australia round out the top five after India and the US.
Next, learn who's hiring. Accenture has posted 2,801 engineer roles. andurilindustries, speechify, and jobgether are also actively recruiting. If you're applying to one of these names, research their hiring patterns and interview style before you apply. That homework pays off.
When you interview, expect the question every engineer hears: 'Tell me about a time you had to debug a problem that wasn't in your job description.' Have a specific story ready—not a general one. Name the tools, the deadline pressure, and what you learned. Hiring managers listen for whether you see problem-solving as part of the role itself, not a favour.
