Mechanical Engineer Intern (Summer)

We are looking for a motivated Mechanical Engineer Intern (Summer) to contribute building and testing electromechanical components for our robot system.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with the engineering team to design, prototype, and validate advanced actuators for humanoid robots

• Work on electromagnetics and mechatronic systems, including modeling, simulation, and hands-on experimentation

• Assist in developing test setups and procedures for performance characterization (force, speed, efficiency, etc.)

• Document design processes, test plans, and results to support iterative improvements

• Contribute to cross-functional discussions about component integration, reliability, and scalability

Qualifications

• Education: Currently enrolled in a Bachelor’s (or higher) program in Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field with a focus on electromagnetics

• Experience

  • Course projects or extracurricular work involving actuator design, mechatronic systems, or electromagnetic studies

  • Previous lab or internship experience in related fields is a plus

• Technical Skills

  • Familiarity with electromagnetic principles, coil winding, and motor/generator fundamentals

  • Basic competence in CAD or simulation software for mechatronic assemblies (e.g., OnShape, SolidWorks, MATLAB/Simulink)

  • Hands-on prototyping experience (e.g., soldering, wiring, 3D printing, machining)

  • Programming skills in C/C++ or Python for automation and data analysis

  • Understanding of control systems (e.g., PID, feedback loops) for actuators

• Soft Skills

  • Strong problem-solving abilities and analytical mindset

  • Clear communication of technical concepts both verbally and in writing

  • Effective time management and a collaborative spirit

  • Adaptability and eagerness to tackle new challenges in a startup environment

• Nice-to-Haves

  • Experience in designing custom electromagnetic actuators or motors

  • Proficiency with advanced simulation tools (e.g., ANSYS Maxwell, COMSOL)

  • Participation in robotics or engineering competitions related to mechatronics
