Hardware Engineering Intern

What you'll do

You'll work directly with our team on the robots that move through our lab. Day to day:

Assembling, wiring, and testing robot platforms (arms, hands, quadrupeds, teleop rigs) before they ship

Running QA on incoming and outgoing hardware

Setting up and staging robots for customer demos and meetups

Troubleshooting mechanical/electrical issues and documenting fixes

Who you are

Hands-on builder with real robotics or engineering experience — we care about what you've built, not your degree level

Comfortable with mechanical assembly and basic electronics; bonus for CAD, soldering, or programming

Self-directed enough to take an ambiguous task and find your own path

Reliable, detail-oriented, and genuinely excited about robots

Experience we love to see

Any of these (or similar) is a strong signal:

FIRST / VEX — FRC, FTC, FLL, VEX Robotics / VEX U

University & international comps — RoboCup, Lunabotics, University Rover Challenge, MATE ROV, RoboMaster, RoboBoat/RoboSub, Eurobot, WRO, BattleBots

Engineering & maker — Formula SAE / Formula Student, BAJA SAE, hackathons, Maker Faire builds

Academic & research — manipulation/locomotion lab work, teleop or VLA/imitation-learning projects, published papers

Independent projects — personal builds, drones, custom arms, anything you've designed and made move

Nice to have

CAD (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Onshape) or PCB design

ROS / ROS 2, LeRobot, or teleoperation systems

A portfolio: GitHub, build logs, CAD files, or videos
