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 Finance Team at Neuralink plays a pivotal role in fueling our mission to develop groundbreaking brain-machine interfaces that restore autonomy to individuals with unmet medical needs. We provide the financial insights and strategies that enable rapid innovation, efficient scaling, and sustainable growth in a high-stakes, fast-paced environment.
What you'd do
- Hardware Costing & Unit Economics
- BOM Management: Translate engineering changes and tolerances into real-time financial impacts on COGS and gross margins.
- Maintain the master model on BOM across manufactured devices to support leadership in manufacturing financial planning and unit economic modeling.
- Should-Cost Modeling: Develop and own dynamic "should-cost" models for the N1 implant, R1 surgical robot and adjacent accessories.
- Regularly update based on engineering innovation cycles and act as source of truth for manufacturing financial planning inputs as well as supplier negotiations.
- Design-to-Cost: Partner with Implant and Robot & Surgery teams during architecture reviews to quantify tradeoffs between performance and cost - arm engineering stakeholders with real-time visibility around cost implications of design decisions and help drive culture of “cost as a design input”
- Strategic Manufacturing & Supply Chain
- Long-term capacity planning: Partnering with our commercial, clinical and manufacturing organizations to maintain long-term demand and capacity plans. Assisting teams with analysis to increase capacity at the highest possible ROI.
- Make vs. Buy: Provide the financial data to decide whether we build critical components in-house or source through external vendors. Partner closely with stakeholders across Strategic Finance, Engineering and Supply Chain.
- Supplier Sourcing: Partner with Strategic Finance and Supply Chain to analyze landed costs, pricing ramps, and the financial impact of lead times and MOQs.
- Translate into recommendations to engineering teams that drive towards cost targets while accelerating innovation and de-risking supply chain decisions.
- Yield & Efficiency: Track cost-reduction initiatives including scrap reduction, yield improvements in the cleanroom, and at the assembly bench.
- Capital Planning & Execution
