Mechanical Engineer Intern, Materials

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.

Requirements

• Build, refine, and use Finite Element Analysis (FEA) models to predict mechanical response, model material behavior under stress, and support material optimization.
• Use computational models to identify design weaknesses, optimize material selection and geometry, and reduce the need for physical prototyping.
• Evaluate and test the mechanical properties of implant materials under various adverse conditions to determine their performance and longevity.
• Operate high-precision testing instruments, including dynamic mechanical analyzers (DMA) and mechanical oscillators
• Assemble, calibrate, and operate components for Accelerated Lifetime Testing (ALT) systems.
• Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to design custom fixtures and develop high-throughput testing equipment, incorporating accelerated aging and mechanical fatigue testing.
