What is a brain imaging internship?

A Brain Imaging Internship is a temporary, supervised position that allows students or recent graduates to gain hands-on experience in neuroimaging research. Interns typically work with brain imaging technologies such as MRI, fMRI, or PET to study the structure and function of the brain. These internships may involve tasks like data collection, image processing, analysis, and participation in research projects. They are often offered by universities, hospitals, or research institutions and are valuable for those interested in neuroscience, psychology, or medical research careers.

What types of projects or tasks can I expect to work on during a brain imaging internship?

As a Brain Imaging Intern, you’ll typically assist with data collection, preprocessing, and analysis using neuroimaging techniques such as MRI or fMRI. Interns often help organize and process imaging datasets, learn to use specialized software, and support ongoing research projects under the supervision of experienced scientists. You may also participate in team meetings to discuss research findings, troubleshoot technical issues, and gain exposure to the collaborative nature of interdisciplinary neuroscience teams. This hands-on experience is valuable for building technical skills and understanding real-world research workflows.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a brain imaging intern, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Brain Imaging Intern, you typically need a background in neuroscience, psychology, or a related field, along with foundational knowledge of neuroimaging principles. Familiarity with imaging software such as SPM, FSL, or AFNI, and experience with programming languages like MATLAB or Python, are highly valued. Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and effective communication skills help interns collaborate with research teams and accurately interpret data. These skills and qualifications are crucial for contributing to high-quality research and ensuring accurate analysis in brain imaging projects.

What is the difference between Brain Imaging Internship vs Neuroimaging Technician?

AspectBrain Imaging InternshipNeuroimaging Technician
Required CredentialsUndergraduate or graduate student, relevant courseworkCertification or associate degree in neuroimaging or related field
Work EnvironmentResearch labs, hospitals, universitiesMedical facilities, imaging centers
Employer & IndustryResearch institutions, universities, healthcare providers

Both roles involve working with brain imaging technologies, but a Brain Imaging Internship is typically a temporary position for students gaining research experience, while a Neuroimaging Technician is a more specialized, often full-time role focused on operating imaging equipment and assisting in clinical settings.

Job description

About 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 Surgery & Robotics Hardware Team is looking for Electrical Engineers who want to advance the future of healthcare solutions with technology. At Neuralink we recognize that increasing healthcare costs, lack of access, and insufficient numbers of neurosurgeons globally require new approaches to enable greater access to our devices. To address these challenges we design fully autonomous robotics systems, human assistive surgical tools, and design entire surgical suites in order to provide better experiences for our customers.
Our team works on our surgical robot system which aims to fully automate the implantation of the Neuralink implant. We design and integrate multi-axis robotic arms, perception systems including custom imaging hardware, optical coherence tomography tissue imaging, power electronics, and safety systems such as 3D spatial mapping/object avoidance sensors. Robotics is part of a larger system of tools we work on. For example, using pre-op MRI scans we generate patient anatomy data that we later use in surgery to register precise surgery site locations.
In addition to research and development of modern surgical technology, we also are responsible for bringing these technologies to market. We perform full lifecycle testing for all devices we design and ultimately manufacture them for use in human surgeries. To date, our designs have served over 20 individuals, and in the coming years our designs will serve thousands of individuals who wish to use our implant technology.
Job Description and Responsibilities:
As an Electrical Engineer on the Surgery & Robot Hardware Team, you will be expected to design, verify, and oversee the transition to production of a variety of custom electronics systems. This role offers substantial autonomy and the exciting opportunity to own creative decisions and execute on new, impactful projects such as robotics stage designs, motor drives and controls, custom camera designs, manufacturing automation, and the firmware that enables all of these devices.
Required Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field or equivalent experience
  • Professional experience delivering on all phases of electronics design (requirements, part selection, schematic, layout, manufacturing, test)
  • Demonstrated depth in at least one of the following:
    • Power electronics: experience designing custom power conversion, distribution, eFusing, and battery management systems in the low-to-medium (1W-2kW) range
    • FPGA hardware design for time sensitive systems such as image processing, high-speed data acquisition, or real time networking. Professional experience in FPGA selection, RTL development, digital signal processing theory and techniques, and hardware design to interface high speed physical layer devices via PCIe, MIPI, SLVS-ec, LVDS, etc
    • Test automation design: professional experience architecting and implementing manufacturing automation solutions for products that currently ship at the scale of 1000's+
  • Practical electronics design knowledge including designing for EMC, ESD, thermals and packaging

Preferred Qualifications:
  • A portfolio showcasing your hardware designs
  • Demonstrable experience developing electronics for safety critical systems such as medical devices, aerospace, automotive, or military
  • Demonstrable experience shipping code in one of the following languages: C, C++, Python, or Rust
  • Altium experience

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.
