Job description

Team Description:

The Robotics & Surgery Engineering Team is developing our next-generation surgical platform to facilitate bringing our cutting-edge brain implant to more of those in need. We're working on driving surgery time and invasiveness down, while pushing safety and accuracy to their maximums.

Job Description and Responsibilities:

As a Mechanical Engineering Intern at Neuralink, you will have the opportunity to design and produce hardware solutions for our brain-machine interface devices, including surgical robotics, automation, microfabrication, and more. You will get to own projects from concept to production, utilizing your mechanical engineering background in the challenging field of brain-machine interfaces. The role involves collaboration with neuroscientists, biologists, and engineers to determine design criteria and build systems quickly and effectively.

Required Qualifications:

  • 6+ months experience of in the application of technical skills outside of the classroom (examples depending on the role: laboratory, research, extracurricular project teams, open source contributions, volunteering, personal projects or prior internship/work experience)
  • Strong understanding of engineering first principles

Preferred Qualifications:ย 

  • 1+ years of mechanical engineering industry experience, including owning products from concept to production
  • Proficiency in Solidworks or similar CAD program
  • Experience with conventional machining and rapid prototyping technologies
  • Experience with precision design and manufacturing
  • Experience with advanced imaging techniques

Additional Requirements and Competencies:

  • Resourceful, flexible and adaptable; no task is too big or too small
  • You find large challenges exciting and enjoy discovering and defining problems as much as solving them
  • You deliver. You may enjoy thoughtful conversations about problems and perfecting designs, but in the end, you know that what matters is delivering a manufacturable solution that works every time
  • You are a cross-disciplinary team member. You are excited to work with and learn from software, mechanical, electrical, materials, biological engineers, and neuroscientists. You are comfortable communicating across teams
