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 an UI UX Designer
Frame your portfolio around systems-level thinking
TN visa adjudicators evaluate whether your role qualifies as a Computer Systems Analyst. Highlight projects where you designed information architecture, user flows, and system interactions, not just visual styling. This framing directly supports the specialty occupation argument.
Verify your degree field matches the role
The TN category requires a degree in computer science, engineering, or a directly related field. A fine arts or graphic design degree alone can trigger denials. If your credentials are in a borderline field, get a credential evaluation letter before applying.
Target employers with dedicated immigration support
Look for companies with recent visa filings for Computer Systems Analyst or related roles. Employers experienced with visa sponsorship processes tend to move faster and make fewer errors that delay your start date.
Search TN-sponsored UI UX roles using Migrate Mate
Filtering by visa type saves time when you're targeting roles where sponsorship is already built into the hiring process. Migrate Mate surfaces UI UX Designer jobs with active TN sponsorship so you're not cold-pitching employers who haven't considered it.
Get your support letter drafted before the offer closes
Your employer needs to provide a support letter detailing your specific duties, degree requirement, and TN category before you can file or appear at a port of entry. Delays here stall your start date. Ask HR to prepare it within 48 hours of your verbal offer.
Prepare for port of entry questions if you're Canadian
Canadian citizens can obtain TN status directly at a land border or pre-clearance airport without a visa stamp. CBP officers may ask about your specific design responsibilities. Bring your portfolio summary, support letter, and degree transcripts to answer on the spot.
UI UX Designer TN Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Does UI UX Designer qualify for a TN visa?
UI UX Designer roles can qualify under the TN visa's Computer Systems Analyst category, but the job duties must emphasize systems analysis, information architecture, and user flow design rather than purely graphic or visual work. The position description in your employer's support letter needs to clearly connect design responsibilities to systems-level problem-solving, and your degree should be in computer science, engineering, or a closely related field.
How does TN visa sponsorship for UI UX Designer compare to H-1B?
TN is significantly more practical for UI UX Designers who are Canadian or Mexican citizens. There's no lottery, no annual cap for Canadians, and Canadian citizens can obtain TN status at a port of entry without waiting for a visa appointment. H-1B visa requires employer sponsorship months in advance, a lottery selection, and a wait until October 1 for the fiscal year to begin. TN status can be granted the same day you present at the border.
Can a Mexican UI UX Designer get a TN visa?
Yes, but Mexican citizens go through consular processing rather than port of entry adjudication. You'll apply for a TN visa stamp at a U.S. consulate in Mexico, and the annual allocation for Mexican TN visas is limited. Processing timelines vary by consulate location and workload. Your employer's support letter, your degree credentials, and documentation of your specific design duties all need to be ready before your consular appointment.
What documents does my employer need to prepare for TN sponsorship?
Your employer must provide a detailed support letter on company letterhead that describes your job title, specific duties, the TN category you're applying under, your qualifications, and the terms of employment. For roles classified under Computer Systems Analyst, the letter should explicitly describe systems-level design responsibilities. The employer doesn't file a petition with USCIS for TN, but the letter is the core document reviewed at the border or consulate.
How do I find UI UX Designer jobs that already offer TN visa sponsorship?
Searching broadly and then raising TN sponsorship in interviews wastes time with employers who aren't familiar with the category. Migrate Mate is built specifically for Canadian and Mexican professionals seeking roles with TN visa sponsorship already factored into the hiring process. Filtering by visa type at the start of your search puts you in front of employers who understand TN requirements and have supported the process before.
