Company Description

neuro42 is a San Francisco-based medical technology company pioneering point-of-care MRI and robotics solutions for diagnosis and interventions of neurological conditions. Our vision is to empower neurophysicians with advanced visualization and guidance technologies that enable best-in-class treatment for their patients.

Role Description

We are seeking a highly motivated Mechanical Engineering Intern to join our Engineering and Product Development team. In this role, you will gain hands-on experience working on cutting-edge medical devices, contributing directly to real product development cycles. You will collaborate with cross-functional engineers, support mechanical design and prototyping activities, and help advance innovative solutions that shape the future of neuro-interventions.

Qualifications

• M.S. or Ph.D. candidate in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Physics, or a related discipline.
• Strong SolidWorks skills, including 3D modeling, assemblies, drawings, and GD&T/tolerance specification.
• Demonstrated interest or experience in New Product Innovation (NPI) or product development cycles.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and hands-on engineering skills (prototyping, assembly, or troubleshooting).
• Familiarity with mechanisms, electromechanical systems, and sensor technologies.
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced environment.
• Excellent communication and documentation skills.

Key Responsibilities

• Create and refine detailed SolidWorks 3D models, assemblies, and engineering drawings, including accurate tolerance specifications and GD&T requirements.
• Contribute to mechanism design, sensor integration, and verification activities to support system-level functionality.
• Assist in the mechanical design and development of components for new product innovation (NPI) projects, from concept through validation.
• Support hands-on prototyping, including mechanical assembly, functional testing, and troubleshooting of components and subsystems.
• Perform basic engineering analyses, such as tolerance stack, mechanical calculations, material selection etc., under guidance from senior engineers.

What We Offer

• Real-world engineering experience on active product development projects.
• Mentorship from experienced mechanical, electrical, and systems engineers.
• Opportunities to design, prototype, and validate hardware from concept to testing.
• A collaborative and innovative environment where your ideas can make a real impact.

How to Apply

Please submit your resume, portfolio (if applicable), and a cover letter explaining your interest in NPI and mechanical design to tim@neuro42.com . In your cover letter, we encourage you to highlight relevant coursework, projects, or experiences that demonstrate your fit for this role.
