Electrical Engineer Intern, Robotics and Surgery Engineering

Neuralink • Fremont, CA

25d

About The Position

About Neuralink: 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. Team Description: To achieve Neuralink’s mission and provide our technology to those that need it, the surgical process that implants our cutting-edge devices must be exceptionally safe, efficient, and scalable. The surgical robot we design is key to enabling this, and the Robot Electrical Engineering Team supports this by designing, testing, and integrating all electrical aspects of our robot, encompassing a diverse range of fundamental electrical engineering domains while also working closely with the optical, mechanical, and software engineering teams.
