Job description

Team Description:

To achieve Neuralink's mission and provide our technology to those that need it, the surgical process that implants our cutting-edge devices must be exceptionally safe, efficient, and scalable. 

The surgical robot we design is key to enabling this, and the Robot Electrical Engineering Team supports this by designing, testing, and integrating all electrical aspects of our robot, encompassing a diverse range of fundamental electrical engineering domains while also working closely with the optical, mechanical, and software engineering teams.

Job Description and Responsibilities:

As an Electrical Engineering Intern you'll own meaningful projects and make substantial contributions as an integral member of our fast-moving team. You will be expected to design, verify, and oversee the transition to production of a variety of custom electronics systems while additionally supporting broader team efforts through debugging, manufacturing, testing, and more. Specific responsibilities and projects may include:

  • All phases of board design (part selection, schematic design, layout, and bring-up)
  • Custom motor drivers, from transistor selection to control loop design
  • Custom high-bandwidth, low-latency, camera hardware and firmware
  • Custom FPGA based Optical Coherence Tomography data acquisition systems
  • Testing hardware such as Hardware-In-The-Loop systems, validation boards, and life-cycle testing rigs
  • Case studies on future system architectures including new compute platforms, redesigned actuator layouts, and deep-brain imaging systems

Required Qualifications:

  • Demonstrable experience developing circuits or products that have been used by real customers. Student design team work and personal projects may apply
  • Circuit board design experience demonstrating advanced knowledge in at least one niche, for example high density (HDI), high speed digital, high power, radio frequency, atypical materials or constructions, etc.
  • Experience with sensors, power management, and signal/power integrity
  • Design experience with common communication protocols (SPI, UART, I2C, etc.)
  • Competent with common lab equipment (oscilloscopes, power supplies, etc.)

Preferred Qualifications:

  • A portfolio showing examples of projects you've completed. 
  • Demonstrable experience in developing electronics for critical systems in fields such as medical devices, aerospace, automotive, or military.
  • Experience with firmware development for embedded systems (C/C++, Rust)
  • Experience with software development for Linux systems (Python, C++, Rust)
