Fremont, United States Neuralink Full time
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:

Join the Materials Engineering Team at Neuralink and be part of an elite and diverse team of materials engineers, chemists, and device engineers working on high-performance, biocompatible materials for the next-generation of brain-computer interfaces. We are looking for a hands-on materials engineer to manage and execute materials characterization and mechanical testing experiments using in-house instrumentation. You will be an integral member of a small, fast-moving team with the opportunity to work closely with mechanical engineers and microfabrication experts on system integration and packaging solutions.

Job Description and Responsibilities:

The Materials Intern will be contributing to the development of high-density, reliable neural interfaces that are at the ground level of brain-computer-interfaces. This is a unique opportunity to work closely with a multi-disciplinary team in an environment where you will have direct impact on the next-gen product. The job responsibilities will include:
  • Evaluating and testing the mechanical properties of implant materials under various adverse conditions to evaluate their performance and longevity
  • Operating high-precision testing instruments, including dynamic mechanical analyzers and micro-FTIR spectrometers
  • Modeling the behavior and longevity of materials using finite elements analysis or similar computational methods to predict performance under stress
  • Collaborating with interdisciplinary teams to design custom fixtures and develop high-throughput testing equipment for yield and longevity assessment, incorporating accelerated aging and mechanical fatigue testing protocols
  • Designing, managing, and conducting experiments using characterization and testing platforms to identify failure modes and root-cause failure mechanisms of medical device and materials
  • Leveraging the understanding of materials structure-property relationships to interpret experimental results and design future experiments
Required Qualifications:
  • Fundamental knowledge of how material properties are governed by their molecular structure and impacted by different stressors to assess material performance and durability
  • Experience with standard mechanical testing equipment (e.g., tensile tester, DMA)
  • Experience with mechanical design and CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks)
Preferred Qualifications:
  • Familiarity with failure analysis and mechanical modeling methods (e.g., FEA, COMSOL)
Pay Transparency:
