Neuralink

Scaling fast
Biotechnology Research Austin, TX Watching 624 employees Updated as of Jun 26
The read

Neuralink contracted by seven headcount over 90 days, driven by senior research departures including a Senior Scientist/Study Director (to a Stealth Startup) and a Clinical Programs Lead (to Tesla). The company simultaneously promoted a Neuroengineer to Head of R&D and brought in a VP-level Head of Supply Chain, signaling a shift from pure research toward operational scale and clinical readiness. HR is the fastest-growing function, with new hires including an HR Business Partner. The pattern suggests Neuralink is trading early-stage R&D firepower for infrastructure to support commercialization, though the net talent loss and research exits bear watching as clinical trials advance.
