Get Access To All JobsAbout 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 BCI Applications Team is responsible for building Telepathy.app—software which enables people with paralysis to use computing devices with precision and ease, via thought alone. Our team spans a wide range of disciplines, from neuroscience and machine learning to software engineering and interface design.
Job Description: We’re looking for an experienced UI Design Engineer to conceptualize, prototype, and ship novel computing interfaces tailored for BCI. Our ideal candidate will possess the following qualities:
- Passion to explore an open-ended, multi-disciplinary, constrained space where design choices are informed by neural structure, model architecture, radio bandwidth, and more. For instance, a slight difference in an animated spring coefficient can change perceptual response time, shifting the alignment of labels and the performance of our decoders. You will actively collaborate with domain experts within and outside the team to understand these constraints and design your way around them.
- An intuitive sense for what level of fidelity to reach for when navigating this space, be it a conversation, a rough sketch, or a testable prototype.
- Excitement to work within and push the boundaries of an entirely new medium of interaction without the traditional sensory feedback of existing physical input devices (e.g., the kinetic friction of glass along the surface of a trackpad, or the resistive pressure of a spring during a keypress).
- The ability to empathize with and design for people with a sensory experience that differs from your own, and ambition to build something that feels magical, beyond the local minima of that which “works.” You’ll do whatever it might take to deliver that experience, be it a highly optimized vertex shader or a custom property animator, while maintaining an extremely high bar for fluidity and detail throughout.
- A strong point-of-view, without ego—you may occasionally pursue a hunch that not everyone on the team agrees with, but are relentless about testing, deleting, and learning from ideas that don’t work.
Job Responsibilities:
- Design, prototype, build, and ship novel computing interfaces for BCI.
- Work with study participants to iterate on and further refine these interfaces.
- Collaborate with domain experts in neuroscience, machine learning, and implant engineering to maximize the precision and fluidity of these interfaces within our constraint-space.
Required Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Human-Computer Interaction, or related field; or equivalent experience.
- A portfolio of demonstrated experience designing and shipping features end-to-end (i.e., initial conceptualization → n th prototype → initial release → n th iteration).
- Proficiency in Apple frameworks (i.e., SwiftUI, UIKit/AppKit, and/or Metal) or an equivalent and transferable stack (i.e., React, Three.js, WebGPU).
- Familiarity with Objective-C, C, and/or C++.
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. We also believe in aligning our employees’ success with the company's long-term growth. As such, in addition to base salary, Neuralink offers equity compensation (in the form of Restricted Stock Units (RSU)) for all full-time employees.
- Base Salary Range: $135,000 USD - $281,000 USD
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.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding TN Visa Sponsorship as a Product Designer
Frame your portfolio around specialty occupation evidence
TN visa approval hinges on proving the role requires a bachelor's degree in a specific field. Structure your portfolio to show systems-level design thinking, not just visual craft, so the job clearly maps to Computer Systems Analyst or Engineer criteria.
Request an offer letter that names your TN category
The offer letter is your filing document. Ask the employer to specify the exact TN professional category, describe duties in terms of specialized knowledge, and confirm the role requires a qualifying degree. Vague language triggers officer questions at the border.
Target employers with existing cross-border hiring workflows
Companies that have sponsored TN workers before understand that Canadian citizens can be cleared at a port of entry the same day. Prioritize product teams at mid-to-large tech firms over early-stage startups with no prior USMCA experience.
Use Migrate Mate to find employers actively filing TN sponsorships
Search Migrate Mate to identify Product Designer roles at companies with recent visa filings. Leading with employers experienced in visa sponsorship increases your chances of finding roles at companies familiar with work visa processes for design positions.
Align your degree credentials before the border appointment
If your design degree is from a Mexican or Canadian institution, confirm it maps to a U.S. four-year bachelor's equivalency. USCIS and CBP officers both evaluate credential alignment, and a transcript or credential evaluation letter can resolve ambiguity before it becomes a denial.
Negotiate employer support for the TN filing packet
The employer drafts the support letter and often coordinates with counsel. Clarify before accepting an offer who prepares the filing packet, whether premium processing is available for any concurrent I-129 filings, and what happens if CBP requests additional documentation at the port of entry.
Product Designer TN Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Does Product Designer qualify as a TN visa occupation?
Product Designer is not listed by name in the USMCA TN occupation schedule, but it can qualify under Computer Systems Analyst or Engineer depending on how the role is defined. The offer letter must describe duties that require specialized, degree-level knowledge. Roles focused on interaction systems, platform architecture, or technical UX tend to qualify more cleanly than purely visual or brand-focused positions.
How does TN compare to H-1B for Product Designer roles?
TN has no lottery and no annual cap for Canadian citizens, so you can accept an offer and clear the border within days rather than waiting years for an H-1B visa slot. Mexican citizens face an annual TN allocation, but approvals still move faster than H-1B. The trade-off is that TN does not confer dual intent, so it works best for professionals not yet pursuing permanent residency.
What documents do I need before my border appointment?
You need a valid Canadian or Mexican passport, an offer letter from the U.S. employer that names the TN category and describes qualifying duties, and evidence of your qualifying degree. Bring transcripts or a credential evaluation if your degree title differs from the TN occupation label. Canadian citizens apply directly at the port of entry; Mexican citizens typically apply at a U.S. consulate.
Where can I find Product Designer jobs that offer TN visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for Canadian and Mexican professionals seeking roles with TN visa sponsorship. You can filter Product Designer openings by companies that have sponsored TN workers before, which removes the friction of vetting employer willingness yourself. Most standard job boards don't surface sponsorship history, so you end up cold-pitching companies with no USMCA experience.
Can my employer convert my TN status to H-1B later?
Yes, but the timing requires planning. Your employer files an H-1B petition during the annual cap registration window each March, and if selected, your status changes on October 1 of that year. You can remain on TN while the H-1B is pending. This path is common for Product Designers who want to transition toward a green card, since TN does not support dual intent.
