Robotics Engineering Intern

Location: On-site - San Francisco CA

Duration: 3–6 months (flexible)

Start Date: Feb 1st

Compensation: Unpaid internship

About the Role

We are building an autonomous robots for construction sites. As a Robotics Engineering Intern, you will work closely with the founding engineering team to design, prototype, and test robotic mechanisms and integrated mechatronic subsystems. This role combines electromechanical integration, and applied robotics.

You will gain exposure to the full robotics development cycle: concept → CAD → fabrication → assembly → sensing & actuation → testing → iteration.

What You’ll Do****Robotics & Integration

Integrate actuators, encoders, limit switches, force sensors, and other sensors into mechanisms
Assist with motor control tuning (PID, current/velocity/position control)
Support integration with embedded controllers and robot compute platform
Help bring up hardware in ROS / ROS2 (launch files, topics, TF, basic debugging)
Participate in system-level integration between mechanical hardware, electronics, and software
Help debug electromechanical issues (misalignment, noise, vibration, wiring faults, grounding)

Experimentation & Iteration

Design and execute experiments to validate mechanisms
Analyze results and propose design improvements
Iterate quickly based on test and field feedback
Document designs, test results, and assembly procedures

Required Qualifications

Recently completed degree in Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, Mechatronics, or related field
Hands-on prototyping experience
Basic understanding of robotics fundamentals (kinematics, actuators, sensors)
Familiarity with at least one programming language (C/C++)
Comfortable working in Linux environment
Experience with microcontrollers (Arduino, STM32, ESP32, etc.)
Experience with rapid prototyping (3D printing, laser cutting, CNC)
Experience with robotics competitions or projects
Basic electronics skills (reading schematics, using multimeter)

What We’re Looking For

Builder mindset with strong curiosity
Comfortable with ambiguity and fast iteration
Strong problem-solving skills
Willingness to work across mechanical, electrical, and software domains
Ownership mentality

What You’ll Gain

Hands-on experience building an autonomous construction robot
Exposure to real-world robotics product development
Opportunity to contribute to core product architecture
Potential for full-time offer based on performance
