Intern - Mechanical Engineer

In this role, you will be responsible for building the robotics hardware systems that power robot expression, communication, and behavior. You will work closely with ML/software engineers to develop expressive companions, build real-time robotics systems, and integrate robotic hardware with machine learning — turning research and simulation into reliable, production-ready robots.

Develop robotic hardware that physically expresses perception, intelligence, and behavior

Build robotic hardware that supports tasks such as computer vision, audio processing, and interaction understanding

Integrate ML systems with robotic hardware and embedded systems

Improve robot perception, responsiveness, and expression

Collaborate with ML/software engineers to build expressive robotics systems

Are pursuing a degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field

Have experience designing robotics hardware and electronics

Have experience in prototyping and building with microcontrollers, embedded systems, and PCBs

Have strong CAD skills using tools such as Onshape, SolidWorks, Fusion360, or similar, as well as proficiency in 3D printing

Have experience with human computer interaction as it relates to robots, especially robots in the home

Are comfortable jumping into unfamiliar systems and can create order through chaos.

Care about users and feel ownership over outcomes, even for systems you don't own.

Think holistically about systems and approach complex problems with creative, outside-the-box solutions.
