Mechanical Engineer, Neuralink

• Bachelor’s degree in one of the following disciplines or equivalent experience: Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, Mechatronics
• Strong understanding of engineering first principles
• Minimum of 3 years of mechanical engineering industry experience, including internships and project teams where you owned products from concept to production
• Proficient in 3D CAD

Desirable

• As a Mechanical & Robotics Engineer at Neuralink, you will design and produce hardware solutions for our assistive robotic arm
• Your responsibilities may also include working on our brain-computer interface devices, surgical robotics, automation, microfabrication, and more
• You will have the opportunity to own projects from concept to production, leveraging your mechanical engineering background in the challenging field of brain interfaces and human-robot interaction. Your responsibilities will include:
• Designing and integrating robot mechanical and electrical components and assemblies with a heavy emphasis on usability and safety
• Collaborating with clinical trial participants, neuroscientists, biologists, and engineers to establish design criteria
• Rapidly and effectively building systems to meet project goals
• Applying analytical methods, including calculations and simulations, for the design and optimization of structures and mechanical components
• Actively driving every phase of device launch, from hands-on early feasibility prototyping through manufacturing release
• The Convoy team, a specialized group within the Robot Mechanical Engineering team, is working on developing a first-of-its-kind brain-controlled assistive robotic arm (ARA)
• Our focus is on developing high-dimensional neural control of hardware, specifically robotic arms and hands. We design and integrate robotics systems, work directly with our clinical trial participants, and collaborate cross-functionally with hardware, software, electrical, and BCI engineers
• We believe this work may be one of the best and most advanced paths to giving physical independence back to users with unmet medical needs
