Robotics Hardware Intern

About the Role

As a Robotics Hardware Intern, you will support the hardware engineering team in designing, prototyping, and testing physical components and systems for our robots. This role offers practical experience in mechanical design, electronics, and system integration within a dynamic and collaborative environment. We are committed to finding and nurturing exceptional talent; our internships are a key pathway to recruiting outstanding graduates who can make a significant impact on our team.

Join us in reinventing how robots can integrated into our society through innovative soft robotic solutions. If you are a motivated person, with a passion for tech, willing to show your potential, and eager to grow within a fast‑paced robotics startup, we would love to hear from you.

Important Notice

For this position, we can unfortunately only accept applications from citizens of Schengen Area countries. This restriction does not apply to ETHZ and EPFL students who are required to complete compulsory internships as part of their studies.

Responsibilities

• Support the design and development of mechanical structures, electronics, sensors, or actuators for robotic systems.
• Aid in building prototypes, conducting tests, and analyzing results to improve hardware performance.
• Help create documentation detailing hardware specifications, assembly instructions, and test procedures.
• Work closely with senior engineers to integrate hardware with software systems and contribute ideas for optimization.
• Gain hands‑on experience in CAD software, electronics, and mechanical design principles.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in a relevant field such as Engineering, Robotics, Automotive or Aerospace.
• Experience in CAD software for mechanical design (Fusion 360 preferred).
• Familiarity with rapid prototyping techniques (3d printing, laser cutting)
• Strong problem‑solving skills, adept at debugging and optimizing hardware components.

Bonus Points

• We love to see candidates who like to build stuff. If you are a maker in your spare time, don't forget to include pictures or reports of your hands‑on projects.
