About the role
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: The Next Gen team at Neuralink is developing the next generation of brain-computer interfaces. We are laying the groundwork for intuitive, high-dimensional, and bidirectional interfaces between brains and machines, with the goal of helping people challenged by a variety of neurological disorders and conditions. Our team consists of scientists and engineers, working closely together to define the engineering
requirements for these future products. Join Neuralink's Next-Gen team to help push the boundaries of what's possible in brain-computer interfaces. Job Description and
Responsibilities: As an R&D Materials Engineer intern, you'll interact with technical teams across the company to develop new ideas, materials, and processes that drive our next generation of implants forward. You'll work closely with scientists and engineers to explore innovative concepts, perform rigorous benchtop testing, troubleshoot experimental setups, and analyze results. Successful candidates will be highly adaptable, able to deploy their core technical and creative skills to tackle a wide range of problems, and have a keen sense of urgency. You must thrive in an intense, mission-driven, and collaborative environment. Additionally, you will: Contribute to the development of next-generation microelectrode materials, partnering with the microfabrication team to bring concepts from idea to hardware Develop novel solutions for electrode-tissue interfaces to enhance electrode sensitivity and interface longevity Perform materials characterization and surface chemistry experiments on candidate materials and implant components Design and fabricate custom test fixtures to enable new experiments Execute on established protocols and independently design new experiments as the project demands Troubleshoot, iterate, and communicate findings clearly to
