Neuralink is a neurotechnology startup developing implantable brain-computer interface devices intended to restore mobility, speech, and vision.
<div class="content-intro"><p><strong>About Neuralink:</strong></p> <p>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.</p></div><p><strong>Team Description:</strong></p> <p>The Convoy team, a specialized group within the Robot Mechanical Engineering team, is working on developing a first-of-its-kind brain-controlled assistive robotic arm (ARA). Our focus is on developing high-dimensional neural control of hardware, specifically robotic arms and hands. We design and integrate robotics systems, work directly with our clinical trial participants, and collaborate cross-functionally with hardware, software, electrical, and BCI engineers. We believe this work may be one of the best and most advanced paths to giving physical independence back to users with unmet medical needs.</p> <p><strong>Job Description and Responsibilities:</strong></p> <p>As a Mechanical & Robotics Engineer at Neuralink, you will design and produce hardware solutions for our assistive robotic arm. Your responsibilities may also include working on our brain-computer interface devices, surgical robotics, automation, microfabrication, and more.
