Mechanical Engineer, Surgery & Robotics
Job description
We are creating devices that enable a bi-directional interface with the brain. These devices allow us to restore movement to the paralyzed, restore sight to the blind, and revolutionize how humans interact with their digital world.
The Surgery & Robotics Hardware Team is looking for Mechanical Engineers who want to advance the future of healthcare solutions with technology. At Neuralink we recognize that increasing healthcare costs, lack of access, and insufficient numbers of neurosurgeons globally require new approaches to enable greater access to our devices.
Our team works on our surgical robot system which aims to fully automate the implantation of the Neuralink implant.
Job responsibilities
- Designing, developing, validating, and shipping complex mechanical assemblies and actuators for surgical robots
- Rapidly and effectively building systems to meet project goals
- Applying analytical methods, including calculations and simulations, for the design and optimization of actuators and structures.
- Conducting FMEAs, user testing, and more to make the safest product possible
- Working with QA and Test teams to define release criteria, verification and validation tests, and more
Job requirements
- Minimum of 3 years of mechanical engineering industry experience, including internships and project teams where you owned products from concept to production
- Strong understanding of engineering first principles
- Bachelor’s degree in science or engineering, or equivalent experience and ability
- Experience designing space-constrained multi-DoF actuated devices
- Experience designing with sensing devices (optical, strain, RFID, etc)
- Experience scaling designs from low to mid volume production
- Proficiency with conventional machining and rapid prototyping technologies
