Environmental Health and Safety Specialist

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: At Neuralink, safety isn't a checkpoint, it's what lets us move fast without breaking the people who build the future. The Safety Team is the tactical extension of our engineers and scientists, embedding directly into high-stakes labs and facilities to eliminate hazards before they slow anyone down. We own the programs that protect our people, visitors, and contractors, and we run them at the pace the mission demands. We're looking for a high-speed, high-ownership individual who runs toward problems, thrives in ambiguity, and wants their work to directly enable Neuralink's mission of building a brain interface that restores autonomy and unlock human potential.
