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.
The Role
Neuralink's next generation surgical robot will perform brain surgery at scale, installing hundreds of tiny threads into the brain to enable brain computer communication.
You'll own building out the robot test fleet. Break robots into testable components, build rigs that reproduce operating conditions, perform surgeries on brain proxies, and automate accelerated life testing (ALT). Your fleet gives us the evidence to ship new capabilities regularly and safely. When the robot misbehaves, you're in the lab figuring it out.
What you'll do
- Bring up, instrument, and run robots and component test rigs.
- Hunt failures across mechanics, electronics, firmware, and software.
- Automate routine robot V&V, test setup, execution, recovery, and results.
- Design and build fixtures, sensing, and logging, with safe operating procedures and fast turnaround.
- Work with Sim and HIL engineers to make the models and tests match reality.
- Turn real failures into repeatable regression tests so we stop burning hardware time on known bugs.
One day you'll be chasing a failure that happened once, the next you'll be building systems that run the same way every time. We need someone who can do both and knows which one the day calls for.
Note: The team is hiring engineers at all levels, both junior and senior. What matters most is evidence of exceptional abilities and a drive to succeed.
What we're looking for
- Hands-on robotics experience. You've made a robot work, broken it, and made it work again.
- Enough Python to automate tests and analyze results, and a basic understanding of Rust.
- Hands-on experience with motor drives, encoders, sensors, and hardware interfaces such as Ethernet, SPI, I²C, UART, or EtherCAT.
- Comfortable reading schematics, building instrumented fixtures, and using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and data acquisition systems to diagnose failures.
- High agency on hardware, comfortable with noise, intermittent faults, and failures that resist reproduction.
- Discipline about repeatability, traceability, and recording what actually happened.
- Judgment to know when a robot is ready, and the diligence to bring the evidence to back it up.
- Effective at using AI agents to build tooling, analyze data and automate failure investigations.
What We Offer:
Full-time employees are eligible for the following benefits listed below.
- An opportunity to change the world and work with some of the smartest and most talented experts from different fields
- Growth potential; we rapidly advance team members who have an outsized impact
- Excellent medical, dental, and vision insurance through a PPO plan
- Paid holidays
- Commuter benefits
- Meals provided
- Equity (RSUs) *Temporary Employees & Interns excluded
- 401(k) plan *Interns initially excluded until they work 1,000 hours
- Parental leave *Temporary Employees & Interns excluded
- Flexible time off *Temporary Employees & Interns excluded

Robotics Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a robotics engineer in Texas?
Most robotics roles in Texas require at least a bachelor's degree in robotics, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, or a closely related field, and Texas does not issue a state-specific robotics license. Employers in aerospace and defense, common in the Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston corridors, often require or prefer candidates who hold a Fundamentals of Engineering credential or who are working toward Professional Engineer licensure through the Texas Board of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors.
How much do roboticses make in Texas?
Roboticses in Texas earn a median of about $54,460 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $41,890 for the lowest 10% to over $105,640 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire robotics engineers in Texas?
Employers hiring robotics engineers in Texas right now include Amazon, Tesla, and Persona AI, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Texas's concentration of aerospace primes, semiconductor fabs, and large-scale fulfillment and logistics centers means demand is spread across both established industrial employers and fast-growing automation startups headquartered in the Austin metro.
Which Texas cities have the most robotics jobs?
Austin, Houston, and Dallas have the most robotics openings in Texas, driven by Houston's energy and aerospace manufacturing base, the Austin metro's semiconductor and tech hardware sector anchored by employers like Samsung Austin Semiconductor and Apple, and the Dallas-Fort Worth area's dense concentration of defense contractors, logistics operators, and advanced manufacturing facilities.
Are there remote robotics jobs in Texas?
Yes, but they're rare. About 22% of robotics openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting the hands-on and site-dependent nature of most roles. The parts of the work most likely to be done remotely are simulation modeling, software architecture, and digital twin development, while physical integration, testing, and commissioning tasks almost always require an on-site presence.
How can I get hired as a robotics engineer in Texas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is through a co-op or internship during your degree, since Texas employers like Lockheed Martin and Texas Instruments run structured early-career engineering programs that convert directly to full-time offers. Graduates who build a hands-on portfolio using ROS or open-source robotics platforms and target entry-level automation technician or systems integration roles at contract manufacturers across the Houston and Dallas manufacturing corridors can gain the floor experience that moves them into engineering positions quickly.
Where can I find and apply to robotics jobs in Texas?
You can find and apply to robotics jobs in Texas on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings tied to Texas employers. Search for roles by city or specialization, find the ones that fit your background, and apply directly to each position.
