Mechanical Engineering Internship (Brain Interfaces)

The Brain Interfaces Mechanical Engineering Team is responsible for the design, build, and testing of all mechanical systems in our implant and charger

Our team also develops test infrastructure to accelerate hardware development and manufacturing, designs electronics packaging for our charger and implant electronics, and creates tooling to interface the implant with the surgical robot

As a Mechanical Engineering Intern, you will support the design and production of hardware solutions for our brain-computer interface devices, including components for surgical robotics, automation, microfabrication, and more

You will have the opportunity to contribute to projects at various stages from concept through production, applying your mechanical engineering knowledge in the challenging field of brain-computer interfaces

Design, build, test, and validate systems for the implant and related hardware components

Develop and improve manufacturing processes and equipment to support in-house production

Scope, design and iterate custom tooling and fixturing required for the implant assembly line

Work with Quality, Electrical Engineering, BCI Software, Microfabrication, and Surgery Engineering to define system requirements, verification and validation tests, and more

Adhere to aggressive project schedules and ensure timely completion from inception to implementation
