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 Brain Interfaces Soc Department delivers chip architecture and silicon implementation of neural recording and stimulation system-on-chip (SoC) for high-bandwidth brain-machine interface applications. We have crafted a team of exceptional engineers whose mission is to push the frontiers of what is possible today and define the future. To accelerate our pathway to human ready brain-computer interfaces, you will have the opportunity to partner with our electrical, microfabrication, chip designers, neuro and mechanical engineers.
Job Responsibilities:
We are looking for Analog and Mixed-Signal IC Design Engineer Interns who are interested in architecting and implementing innovative solutions with high energy-efficiency and compact silicon footprint and who thrive with the autonomy to propose creative approaches to problems.
Neuralink strives to be, as much as possible, a meritocratic environment: we require honest and transparent communication to ensure the best ideas win out, and we believe the best solutions emerge and the best teams are created when you assemble high-performing individuals with different skill sets and perspectives, and allow them to engage in rigorous and thoughtful inquiry. We want to work with exceptional people, and, to the extent that you excel, we want you to take on more responsibility and help all of us succeed. If this speaks to you, come join us.
The Analog and Mixed-Signal IC Design Engineer Intern will be responsible for analog and mixed-signal chip design, from circuit design to layout and verification.
- Define and implement innovative and optimal analog and mixed signal circuit architectures and transistor-level circuit solutions to achieve a variety of challenging noise, mismatch, distortion, power consumption, and cost requirements
- Defines verification plan for a portion of IP or chip and runs complex simulations and analyses (e.g., power, performance, linearity, yield) on designs
- Designs, programs, and runs complex tests and reviews tests of other team members; ensures bugs and other issues are identified and appropriately analyzed
Key Qualifications:
- Minimum 1 years of experience in analog/mixed-signal integrated CMOS circuit design for a specific area (e.g., delta-sigma ADC, SAR ADC, DAC, VCO, PLL, DLL, Audio CODEC and Class D audio amplifier, high speed PHY & SERDES) with a successful track record of silicon validation
- Minimum 3 months experience of application of technical skills outside of the classroom (examples: laboratory, research, extracurricular project teams, open source contributions, volunteering, personal projects or prior internship/work experience)
- The ideal candidates are people who get excited about building things, are highly analytical, and enjoy tackling new problems regularly
Preferred Qualifications:
- Skills in scripting and automation for complex simulation scenarios
- Experience in lab testing of high-precision analog and mixed-signal ICs
- Functional modeling experience and logic verification with Verilog AMS and SystemVerilog
- Experience in design and layout with advanced CMOS FinFET technologies
- Experience with design for high-volume production

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship as an Electrical Engineering Intern
Align your degree field with the role
E-3 visa specialty occupation requires your degree to match the job. An electrical engineering internship supported by a degree in computer engineering or mechatronics will generally qualify, but a business or unrelated STEM degree will not, even with relevant coursework.
Target employers enrolled in E-Verify
Many U.S. internship programs, especially at defence contractors and federally funded research labs, require E-Verify participation. Confirming an employer's E-Verify status before applying tells you they already have infrastructure to onboard international workers.
Request LCA filing before your start date
Your employer must file and receive a certified Labor Condition Application from DOL before you can attend your consulate appointment. Build at least two to three weeks into your timeline for LCA certification so your start date doesn't slip.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service for your paperwork
Internship offers move fast and employers aren't always familiar with E-3 requirements. Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service handles the LCA, DS-160, and consulate preparation end-to-end, so your hiring team doesn't have to figure out the process themselves.
Clarify employment structure with your hiring manager
Some internships are staffed through third-party contractors rather than the host company directly. For E-3 purposes, the entity filing the LCA must be your actual employer of record, not the end client. Confirm this before accepting an offer.
Search for roles with E-3 sponsorship on Migrate Mate
Generic internship boards don't filter for E-3 visa sponsorship. Migrate Mate lists electrical engineering internship roles where employers have confirmed willingness to sponsor, saving you the back-and-forth of asking each recruiter individually.
E-3 Visa Electrical Engineering Intern: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find Electrical Engineering Intern jobs that offer E-3 visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is the most direct way to find Electrical Engineering Intern roles with confirmed E-3 sponsorship. Rather than filtering through general job boards and cold-emailing recruiters about visa support, Migrate Mate surfaces roles where employers are already set up to sponsor Australian candidates on the E-3 visa.
How much does it cost to get an E-3 visa?
Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service covers the entire process for $499, including the Labor Condition Application, visa document preparation, and consulate appointment guidance. Traditional immigration lawyers charge $2,000–$5,000+ for the same work. The E-3 has less paperwork than most work visas, so paying thousands for legal help is usually unnecessary.
Does an Electrical Engineering Intern role actually qualify as a specialty occupation for E-3 purposes?
Yes, provided the internship genuinely requires a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or a directly related discipline. Roles that accept any degree, or where the duties don't map to an engineering field, can be challenged by a consular officer. The stronger the connection between your degree and the specific engineering tasks in the job description, the cleaner the specialty occupation case.
How does the E-3 compare to the H-1B for Electrical Engineering Intern positions?
The E-3 is available exclusively to Australian citizens and has no lottery, no annual cap, and no registration fee. The H-1B visa runs on an annual lottery with a roughly 25% selection rate for most applicants. For an internship timeline, the H-1B is almost never a viable option because the lottery opens once a year and the cap year doesn't align with typical intern start dates. The E-3 can be applied for whenever you have an offer.
Can I convert an Electrical Engineering Intern E-3 to a full-time E-3 after graduation?
Yes. If your employer offers you a full-time role after the internship, they file a new LCA reflecting the permanent position title and prevailing wage for that role. You then attend a fresh consulate appointment for a new two-year E-3 stamp. There's no requirement to leave the U.S. before converting, but your new LCA must be certified and your new E-3 approved before the internship status expires.
