Internship role supporting manufacturing, assembly, and process improvements of surgical robotic hardware.

Responsibilities

  • The Robot Manufacturing Intern will contribute directly to the production and scaling of Neuralink's advanced surgical robotic systems. This role provides hands-on experience in a fast-paced, high-precision manufacturing environment, focusing on developing processes, improving efficiency, and ensuring the quality and reliability of critical hardware used in our surgical procedures
  • Manufacturing Process Support: Assist the team in the assembly, testing, and documentation of robotic components and systems.
  • Process Improvement: Identify and implement improvements to existing manufacturing workflows to increase throughput, reduce errors, and enhance product quality.
  • Documentation and Control: Help create and maintain detailed manufacturing work instructions, process flow diagrams, and standard operating procedures (SOPs) to ensure compliance with quality systems.
  • Tooling and Fixture Design: Work on the design and fabrication of jigs, fixtures, and production aids to streamline assembly and inspection tasks.
  • Quality Assurance: Perform in-process quality checks and contribute to failure analysis and root cause investigations for non-conforming materials or devices.
  • Data Analysis: Collect, analyze, and report on manufacturing data to track key performance indicators (KPIs) and support data-driven decisions.

Requirements

  • Currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, or a closely-related engineering field.
  • Demonstrated passion and aptitude for hands-on technical work, manufacturing, or robotics, evidenced by relevant coursework, technical clubs, or personal projects.
  • Strong foundational understanding of physics and mathematics relevant to engineering principles.
  • Proven ability to be highly detail-oriented and organized in a high-precision environment.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills for creating clear documentation and collaborating with a technical team.
  • Must be able to commit to a full-time intern schedule.

Nice to have

  • Prior hands-on experience in a manufacturing or lab environment related to robotics or high-precision assembly
