Mechanical Engineer

Team Description: 

The Robotics and Surgery Engineering Teams tackle challenges across implanting our brain-computer interface, such as creating next-gen hardware to drive total brain surgery time down from hours to seconds; designing laser-micromachining for micron-precision geometries for surgical end effectors; and developing ways to reach deeper brain targets while balancing the competing goals of endpoint accuracy and minimally invasive insertion.

Job Responsibilities and Description: 

As a mechanical engineer at Neuralink, you will design and produce hardware solutions to support our brain-computer interface, such as surgical hardware, robotics, and more. You will get to own projects from concept to production, utilizing your mechanical engineering background in the challenging field of brain-computer interfaces. The role involves collaboration with neuroscientists, biologists, and engineers to determine design criteria and build systems quickly and effectively.

Key Qualifications:

• 3+ years of mechanical engineering industry experience, including owning products from concept to production. Internships and project experience may count.
• Strong understanding of engineering first principles.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with conventional machining and rapid prototyping technologies.
• Experience with precision design and manufacturing.
• Experience with advanced imaging techniques.
