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.
The Microfabrication Team, a division of the Brain Interfaces Hardware Department, designs, manufactures, and verifies the thin-film microelectrode array that records and relays neural signals to the body of the implant. The team operates at an in-house cleanroom facility in Fremont, with operations expanding to Austin in the near future.
The Microfabrication Engineer at Neuralink will be responsible for the development of micro-fabricated medical devices including thin-film microelectrode arrays used in preclinical and clinical studies within Neuralink. This includes developing process modules to push design and fabrication limits; performing metrology to monitor, test, and characterize in-process progress; and providing detailed documentation of process steps, changes, and measurements.
Design and physically realize next-generation thin-film microelectrode arrays.
Develop and deploy advanced process integration schemes for thin-film fabrication within production environments.
Execute benchtop experiments to characterize the relationship between fabrication parameters, design, and product performance (e.g., impedance and longevity).
Utilize statistical analysis on experimental data to drive data-informed product improvement decisions.
Sponsor in vivo studies to validate the physiological performance of novel designs and processes.
Author comprehensive SOPs and technical documentation to standardize process activities across the team.
Provide technical training and mentorship to team members on specialized study activities.
Manage data collection and retention strategies to ensure high-quality reporting and documentation at study completion.
Contribute to the completion of study reports.
Work with external vendors to align product requirements and communicate technical specifications.
Evidence of exceptional ability in an engineering or physical science field
Bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline or physical science
3+ years of academic or industry experience working with microfabrication technology
Experience in experimental design, data collection and analysis, and scientific communication
