About the job
About Neuralink:
At Neuralink, we are pioneering the development of advanced devices that facilitate a bi-directional interface with the human brain. Our innovative solutions aim to restore mobility for those who are paralyzed, bring sight to the visually impaired, and transform the way humanity interacts with technology.
Team Overview:
To fulfill Neuralink’s vision and extend our technology to those in need, we ensure that the surgical procedures for implanting our state-of-the-art devices are not only safe but also efficient and scalable. The surgical robot we are developing plays a crucial role in this mission, and our Robot Electrical Engineering Team is dedicated to designing, testing, and integrating all electrical components associated with the robot, collaborating closely with optical, mechanical, and software engineering teams.
Role and Responsibilities:
As an Electrical Engineering Intern, you will take charge of significant projects and contribute meaningfully as a vital part of our dynamic team. You will be responsible for designing, verifying, and overseeing the transition of various custom electronic systems into production, along with supporting broader team initiatives, including debugging, manufacturing, and testing. Key tasks may include:
- Complete phases of board design, including part selection, schematic design, layout, and bring-up.
- Development of custom motor drivers, from transistor selection to control loop design.
- Designing high-bandwidth, low-latency camera hardware and firmware.
- Creating custom FPGA-based Optical Coherence Tomography data acquisition systems.
- Testing hardware such as Hardware-In-The-Loop systems, validation boards, and life-cycle testing rigs.
- Conducting case studies on future system architectures involving new compute platforms, redesigned actuator layouts, and deep-brain imaging systems.
