Team Description:

Join the implant team and be part of an elite team of engineers working on high-performance, safety-critical embedded systems for the next-generation brain-computer interfaces. We are looking for experienced, hands-on engineers who are interested in exploring what's possible in highly powered and latency-constrained environments. Firmware is the kernel of operation for the implant and you have the chance to determine and implement features that have a massive impact on the product’s capabilities. You will have the opportunity to work closely with chip designers, EEs, algorithms, and software engineers on a small team that moves quickly.

Job Responsibilities:

Manufacture and verify the thin-film microelectrode array that records and relays neural signals to the body of the implant. Responsible for scaling up production of microelectrode arrays, collaborating with engineers and/or techs and cross-functional teams to optimize process efficiency and improve array quality and throughput. Provide daily support on processes, materials/supplier management, and equipment for new and sustaining products. Instrumental in ramping production and accelerating Neuralink’s progress. Analyze production processes and equipment and identify opportunities for quality improvement, higher throughput, labor efficiency and cost reduction. Design, procure and implement new production equipment and stations. Implement continuous improvement plan to increase yield and quality using scalable solutions. Understand manufacturing concepts including Lean Manufacturing, Design of Experiments (DoE), Product/Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), process validations, statistical process control and problem-solving methodologies. Provide manufacturability input to engineers during the process development process as product moves to mature stages of its lifecycle while ensuring compliance to Design Control requirements, CGMP, FDA, and other company policies.

Required Qualifications:

• Master’s degree or foreign equivalent in Mechanical Engineering or related fields.
• 1 year experience in job offered or related occupations (e.g. Process Engineer, Automation Engineer).
• Must have at least 1 year of prior work experience in each of the following:
  1. Performing operations on a manufacturing line building millimeter-scale/micron-scale prototypes
     and production versions of products.
  2. Statistical techniques to control a process or production method
  3. Process validations (Installation Qualification / Operational Qualification / Performance
     Qualification)
  4. Solid 3-D modeling (such as SolidWorks)
  5. Design of experiments along with structured problem-solving
