Neuralink•Austin, TX

3d•Onsite

About The Position

Neuralink is developing brain-computer interfaces to restore movement to the paralyzed, sight to the blind, and revolutionize human interaction with the digital world. The Medical Imaging team supports preclinical, clinical, and R&D operations, including screening human participants and driving innovation in surgical planning and brain mapping. As a part-time MRI & CT Technologist, you will operate advanced imaging hardware (Siemens Magnetom Cima.X and NAEOTOM Alpha Photon Counting CT) for both clinical and preclinical studies. Your responsibilities will include high-fidelity data acquisition, technical setup of fMRI stimulus hardware, and contrast media administration. You will be a core member of a multidisciplinary team, collaborating with veterinary staff, medical physicists, engineers, and physicians.

Requirements

Active ARRT (MR) and ARRT (CT) certifications.
Active Medical Radiologic Technologist (MRT) license through the Texas Medical Board.
Proficiency in IV placement and contrast administration for human subjects.
Proficiency with Siemens Syngo (via/XA) platforms.
Experience or strong comfort level with fMRI hardware setups (triggers, stimulus monitors, and cabling).
Comfort working with both human participants and veterinary subjects in a fast-paced lab environment.

Nice To Haves

5+ years of experience in a high-gradient MRI environment or dedicated research facility.
Experience working directly with Neurosurgeons or within an OR/Surgical imaging environment.
Prior experience with fMRI task-based scanning and peripheral hardware synchronization.
A deep interest in the frontier of neurotechnology and brain-machine interfaces.

Responsibilities

Execute complex imaging protocols including high-resolution anatomical, functional MRI (fMRI), and photon-counting CT.
Safely perform peripheral IV starts and administer contrast media for both MRI and CT human subjects, working under the onsite supervision of the Radiologist and Principal Investigator.
Set up and troubleshoot fMRI stimulus presentation hardware (e.g., visual/auditory stimuli, response pads, and synchronization triggers).
Lead the scanning process for human volunteers—including safety screening and fMRI coaching—as well as preclinical veterinary subjects.
Partner with Neurosurgeons and Radiologists to acquire high-quality data for surgical planning, brain mapping, and safety studies.
Manage day-to-day scanner readiness, coordinate vendor maintenance, and maintain impeccable QA/QC records.
