These devices allow us to restore movement to the paralyzed, restore sight to the blind, and revolutionize how humans interact with their digital world.\nTeam Description:\nThe Convoy team, a specialized group within the Robot Mechanical Engineering team, is working on developing a first-of-its-kind brain-controlled assistive robotic arm (ARA). Our focus is on developing high-dimensional neural control of hardware, specifically robotic arms and hands. We design and integrate robotics systems, work directly with our clinical trial participants, and collaborate cross-functionally with hardware, software, electrical, and BCI engineers. We believe this work may be one of the best and most advanced paths to giving physical independence back to users with unmet medical needs.\nJob Description and Responsibilities:\nAs a Mechanical & Robotics Engineer at Neuralink, you will design and produce hardware solutions for our assistive robotic arm. Your responsibilities may also include working on our brain-computer interface devices, surgical robotics, automation, microfabrication, and more. You will have the opportunity to own projects from concept to production, leveraging your mechanical engineering background in the challenging field of brain interfaces and human-robot interaction. Your responsibilities will include:\nDesigning and integrating robot mechanical and electrical components and assemblies with a heavy emphasis on usability and safety\nCollaborating with clinical trial participants, neuroscientists, biologists, and engineers to establish design criteria\nRapidly and effectively building systems to meet project goals\nApplying analytical methods, including calculations and simulations, for the design and optimization of structures and mechanical components\nActively driving every phase of device launch, from hands-on early feasibility prototyping through manufacturing release\nRequired Qualifications:\n\nBachelor’s degree in one of the following disciplines or equivalent experience: Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, Mechatronics\nStrong understanding of engineering first principles\nMinimum of 3 years of mechanical engineering industry experience, including internships and project teams where you owned products from concept to production\nProficient in 3D CAD\nPreferred Qualifications: \nExperience with robotic systems such as robot arms, grippers, actuators, human-robot interaction\nMultidisciplinary experience in robotics software and control (e.g., Python, ROS, MATLAB, control theory)\nElectrical engineering proficiency (e.g., PCB design, wire harnessing, circuit design)\nProficiency with conventional machining and rapid prototyping technologies\nExpected Compensation:\nThe anticipated base salary for this position is expected to be within the following range. Your actual base pay will be determined by your job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training. We also believe in aligning our employees’ success with the company's long-term growth. As such, in addition to base salary, Neuralink offers equity compensation (in the form of Restricted Stock Units (RSU)) for all full-time employees.\nBase Salary Range:\n$90,000—$226,000 USD\nWhat We Offer:\nFull-time employees are eligible for the following benefits listed below.\nAn opportunity to change the world and work with some of the smartest and most talented experts from different fields\nGrowth potential; we rapidly advance team members who have an outsized impact\nExcellent medical, dental, and vision insurance through a PPO plan\nPaid holidays\nCommuter benefits\nMeals provided\nEquity (RSUs) *Temporary Employees & Interns excluded\n401(k) plan *Interns initially excluded until they work 1,000 hours\nParental leave *Temporary Employees & Interns excluded\nFlexible time off *Temporary Employees & Interns excluded","description_format":"text","description_chars":3915,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity","Flexible time off","Parental leave","Restricted stock units","Vision insurance"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Medical & Healthcare Robotics","Neurotech & Neuromodulation"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2025-05-23T20:47:40Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 25 · green card filings: 1","filings_12m":25,"filings_prev_12m":12,"green_card_filings_12m":1,"median_offered_wage_usd":145962,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-15T11:24:14+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)","US Department of Labor: PERM disclosure data (green cards)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":8,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.3,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":511,"expected_fill_days":141,"reasons":["conf:1","velocity","ghost","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-17T05:46:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":226000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/neuralink-mechanical-engineer-robotics-convoy","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/neuralink-mechanical-engineer-robotics-convoy.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-19T01:30:02Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":862,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-20T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":8},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=8"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fneuralink-mechanical-engineer-robotics-convoy"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fneuralink-mechanical-engineer-robotics-convoy"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fneuralink-mechanical-engineer-robotics-convoy"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/neuralink-mechanical-engineer-robotics-convoy\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fneuralink-mechanical-engineer-robotics-convoy"}]}
