Company Description:

We are creating the future of brain-computer interfaces: building devices now that have the potential to help people with paralysis regain mobility and independence and invent new technologies that could expand our abilities, our community, and our world.

Team Description:

As a senior mechanical engineer at Neuralink, you will design and produce hardware solutions for our brain-computer 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-computer interfaces. The role involves collaboration with neuroscientists, biologists, and engineers to determine design criteria and build systems quickly and effectively.

The Implant Team is responsible for the design, build and testing of all mechanical systems in our implant and charger. Projects include design of test infrastructure to reduce hardware development and manufacturing time, electronics packaging for our charger and implant electronics, and tooling to help interface the implant with the surgical robot.

  • 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.
  • Resourceful, flexible and adaptable; no task is too big or too small.
