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.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding TN Visa Sponsorship as a Senior UI Engineer
Align your portfolio with specialty occupation standards
TN visa approval for UI engineering hinges on demonstrating that the role requires a bachelor's degree in computer science or a related field. Curate your portfolio to show systems-level thinking, not just visual output. Officers evaluate the technical complexity of the work, not the aesthetics.
Request a Computer Systems Analyst job title
TN visa petitions for UI engineers succeed most reliably under the Computer Systems Analyst occupational category. Ask your prospective employer to frame the offer letter around systems analysis and technical architecture duties, since ambiguous titles like 'designer' can trigger a closer review at the border.
Use Migrate Mate to find roles at sponsorship-experienced employers
Targeting employers experienced with visa sponsorship shortens your search significantly. Migrate Mate surfaces Senior UI Engineer roles from companies with recent visa filings, so you spend less time cold-applying to employers unfamiliar with work authorization processes.
Prepare a credential evaluation before Canadian border crossing
If your computer science degree is from a Mexican university, carry a credential evaluation from a NACES-approved evaluator confirming U.S. equivalency. Canadian border officers expect this documentation for applicants whose degrees may not map directly to U.S. four-year bachelor's programs.
Verify the employer's E-Verify enrollment before accepting an offer
Some STEM-focused employers require E-Verify enrollment as a condition of employment for TN workers. Confirming enrollment early prevents delays after your start date and signals the employer has prior experience onboarding USMCA professionals, which often means a smoother filing process for you.
Negotiate a remote-friendly offer letter to broaden your employer pool
TN status ties you to a specific employer, not a specific work location. If your Senior UI Engineer role allows remote work, confirm that the offer letter names the employer's registered U.S. address as your primary worksite so CBP officers don't flag location ambiguity at entry.
Senior UI Engineer TN Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Senior UI Engineer role qualify for TN visa sponsorship?
Yes, Senior UI Engineer roles can qualify under the TN visa's Computer Systems Analyst category when the position requires a bachelor's degree in computer science, information technology, or a closely related field. The offer letter must describe duties that involve systems analysis and technical architecture, not primarily graphic or product design work. Roles where the degree requirement is ambiguous or where design duties dominate can face additional scrutiny.
How does TN visa sponsorship compare to H-1B for Senior UI Engineers?
TN has no annual lottery and no cap for Canadian citizens, so you can start working as soon as CBP approves your entry. H-1B visa requires registration in a random lottery held once per year, and selection is not guaranteed. For Senior UI Engineers with a qualifying computer science degree and a U.S. job offer, TN is typically faster and more predictable. The trade-off is that TN does not lead directly to permanent residence, while H-1B is a dual-intent visa.
Where can I find Senior UI Engineer jobs that offer TN visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for Canadian and Mexican professionals seeking TN visa sponsorship in the U.S. You can search Senior UI Engineer roles filtered by employers with recent visa filings, which removes the guesswork of identifying companies already experienced with work visa sponsorship. Generic job boards don't filter by employer sponsorship experience, so you'd otherwise need to screen each employer manually.
Can Mexican citizens get TN sponsorship for Senior UI Engineer roles, and is the process different from Canada?
Yes, Mexican citizens are eligible for TN status, but the process differs from the Canadian pathway. Mexican nationals apply at a U.S. consulate in Mexico for a TN visa stamp before traveling, rather than seeking approval at a port of entry. The documentary requirements are the same: a qualifying job offer, proof of citizenship, and credentials demonstrating a relevant bachelor's degree. Processing times depend on consulate appointment availability.
What happens to my TN status if I change employers mid-year as a Senior UI Engineer?
TN status is employer-specific, so changing jobs requires a new TN petition tied to your new employer before you begin work. Canadian citizens can apply for a new TN at a port of entry the same day they leave their current employer, which makes transitions faster than most other visa categories. Mexican citizens need to schedule a new consulate appointment. You can maintain status continuity as long as you don't start working for the new employer before the new TN is approved.
