As a Robotics intern, you'll work directly with our engineers on a prototyping robotic work cell—designing and fabricating parts, building up hardware, and running the robot during training. This is a hands-on role with fast design-build-test cycles and real ownership of hardware.
Design parts for the robot cell in SolidWorks and fabricate them.
Prepare designs for outside fabrication (CNC machining, laser cutting) and communicate with vendors to quote and order parts.
Prototype and assemble mechanical designs.
Support testing, validation, and analysis of assemblies.
Set up and maintain robot cell hardware.
Operate and supervise the robot during training runs
All work is performed under the guidance of a senior mechanical engineer.
Junior or senior pursuing a BS or MS in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a closely related field
Proficiency in SolidWorks
Hands-on mechanical design and 3D printing experience (coursework, clubs, or personal projects)
Able to work 10–20 hrs/week on-site in Milpitas, CA
Authorized to work in the US for any employer
Robotics experience (competition teams, research labs, coursework)
Familiarity with design for manufacturing (machining and laser-cutting constraints, tolerancing)
Understanding of lighting, camera and optical systems or is a photography enthusiast.
Experience sourcing parts or working with fabrication vendors
A portfolio of past projects (strongly encouraged)
Get experience in a fast-paced engineering environment
Your parts go on a real robot, from CAD to hardware
Potential path to longer-term roles
Onsite lunch and dinner
