Location: San Francisco, California (on-site)

About the Role

Join our Advanced Robotics team for a hands-on internship at the forefront of robotic intelligence. You will play a vital role in our R&D cycle, working with our real-world robotic systems from hardware assembly to AI implementation. This is a unique opportunity for a tinkerer and a builder who is passionate about both the physical and software aspects of creating intelligent machines.

Responsibilities

A typical day in this role might include:

• Assemble, troubleshoot, and modify robotic hardware prototypes for cutting-edge R&D projects.

• Set up, calibrate, and maintain our fleet of robots for data collection and experimentation.

• Support the data lifecycle for our AI models, from collection using physical robots to processing with Python scripts.

• Assist in testing and validating new robot behaviors, providing feedback on both software performance and hardware limitations.

• Collaborate with our cross-functional team of engineers on system integration tasks, bridging mechanical, electrical, and software components.

Requirements

This role might be a great fit if you have:

• Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Robotics, Mechatronics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.

• Demonstrated hands-on experience building, modifying, or working with physical hardware (e.g., personal robotics projects, academic teams, previous internships).

• Proficiency in Python for scripting and automation.

• A genuine passion for robotics and a proactive, problem-solving mindset.

• Must be authorized to work in the US for the duration of the internship.

Bonus Points For:

• Experience with CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, Onshape) or 3D printing.

• Familiarity with electronics, microcontrollers, and sensor integration.

• Experience with ROS/ROS2.

• Foundational knowledge of AI or machine learning concepts.
