Intern - Mechatronics Engineer

Build and iterate on prototyping rigs — mechanical assembly, wiring, and basic controls integration

Take on lower-level controls tasks (sensor wiring, calibration, simple test scripts) that free up our controls and mechanical engineers for deeper domain work

Support mechanical design tasks as needed — CAD iteration, fixture design, fit checks

Bridge mechanical and controls as the product matures — run reliability/test-rig cycles, troubleshoot integration issues, and translate mechanical design changes into controls adjustments

Document test results and communicate issues clearly to the team

Are pursuing a degree in Mechatronics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field

Have some exposure to CAD (SolidWorks, Onshape, Fusion360, or similar) and basic controls/embedded work, from class projects, personal builds, or prior internships

Have hands-on experience with rapid prototyping, machining, microcontrollers, or simple test rigs

Are comfortable jumping into unfamiliar systems and can create order through chaos

Care about users and feel ownership over outcomes, even for systems you don't own

Think holistically about systems and approach problems with creative, outside-the-box solutions

Are a jack-of-all-trades who's drawn to hands-on prototyping over deep specialization in one domain

Move quickly and work well in rapid iteration cycles

Take ownership over the systems you touch, even when they're not "yours"

Work well in small, collaborative teams, without needing much day-to-day mentorship

Are curious, resourceful, and motivated to solve difficult problems

The early team becomes the DNA of the company. We set ourselves and others to a high standard, and we respond with kindness when things get hard but keep everyone accountable. This requires us to be curious, creative, and diverse in our thinking and approach.
