Robotics Mechanical Engineering Intern

Skills

About the Role

You will design, prototype, test, and iterate robotic hardware for real-world deployment. You will create mechanical parts and CAD models, perform engineering analysis, support fabrication and testing, and collaborate on system integration.

Requirements

• Currently pursuing a Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, Mechatronics, or a related field, or graduated within the past 6 months.
• Strong mechanical design fundamentals.
• Experience with SolidWorks or Fusion 360.
• Hands-on experience designing and building mechanical hardware through coursework, research, internships, robotics teams, or personal projects.
• Familiarity with manufacturing processes such as CNC machining, sheet metal, or 3D printing.
• Able to work on-site in Milpitas, CA, five days per week (40 hours/week).
• Experience with robotic arms, actuators, transmissions, mobile robots, or end-effectors.
• Familiarity with GD&T, tolerance stack-up, FEA, and DFM.
• Machine-shop or rapid-prototyping experience.
• Experience taking a design from CAD to manufactured and tested hardware.

Responsibilities

• Design mechanical parts, mechanisms, and assemblies for robotic systems.
• Create and update 3D CAD models and engineering drawings.
• Perform basic engineering analysis, tolerance checks, and FEA.
• Support prototype fabrication, assembly, testing, and design iteration.
• Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, and robotics engineers during system integration.

Benefits

• Company-provided lunch and dinner.
• Fully stocked kitchen.
• Team events.
