Engineering Technician - Materials

About Neuralink: 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. Team Description: The Materials Engineering Team at Neuralink develops and qualifies high-performance, biocompatible materials for next-generation brain-computer interfaces.

The team owns material characterization, hermetic packaging reliability, accelerated lifetime testing, and predictive simulation for implantable neural devices. We operate at the intersection of physical testing and computational modeling, closing the loop between experiment and simulation to drive implant design decisions. A core part of our work is running high-throughput hardware reliability test programs - thermal benchtop testing and Accelerated Lifetime Testing - that generate the data behind our longevity and safety claims.

Responsibilities

: We are hiring an Engineering Technician to own the hands-on build, run, and maintenance of the Materials Team's hardware and reliability test programs. The goal is to offload manual test execution so our engineers can focus on design, modeling, and analysis. This is a hands-on lab role for someone who likes to build, instrument, and run tests at high throughput, maintain rigorous data quality, and grow their skills across thermal and reliability testing.

Required Qualifications

: Hands-on experience in a laboratory, prototyping, or test environment - e.g., fixture design, mechanical assembly, microcontroller work, coding, or wet-lab/data-collection experience Working familiarity with data-collection instrumentation (specific instruments are coachable on the job) Strong technical aptitude and a demonstrated ability to learn new test methods quickly Careful, organized approach to high-throughput testing while maintaining high data quality

Preferred Qualifications

: Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field Coding: Python, C++, Arduino Microcontroller work (demonstrates familiarity with circuitry, PCBs, and firmware flashing) Soldering experience Data analysis skills Prior experience in a hardware test/reliability lab High dexterity Expected

Compensation

: At Neuralink, your base pay is one part of your total

package. The anticipated hourly rate for this position is expected to be within the below range. Your actual base pay will be determined by your job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
