Location: San Francisco, CA | Hybrid | Duration: 10–12 weeks

Join us in building next-generation autonomous underwater robots for disaster response—systems designed to navigate floods, inspect submerged infrastructure, and assist first responders in harsh environments. As a Mechatronics Intern, you’ll be hands-on with the full engineering lifecycle: design, prototype, test, and iterate in the field.

Responsibilities

• Design and prototype mechanical components for underwater robotic platforms using CAD and 3D printing

• Integrate and test electromechanical systems including thrusters, servos, sensors, and microcontrollers

• Support the development of rugged, water-resistant subsystems for real-world deployment

• Collaborate with embedded systems and autonomy engineers to refine and test robotic behaviors in simulated and field conditions

• Create and refine test rigs for performance validation and stress testing

• Contribute to automated test pipelines for electromechanical reliability

Qualifications

• Pursuing a Bachelor's or Master’s in Mechanical, Electrical, Mechatronics, or related engineering discipline (2025–2026 graduation preferred)

• Strong CAD experience (Fusion 360, SolidWorks) and experience with 3D printing or rapid prototyping

• Hands-on experience with electromechanical systems: BLDC motors, servos, ESCs, sensors

• Familiarity with Python for data logging, analysis, and test automation

• Exposure to embedded systems and C++ for low-level control

• Ability to diagnose, debug, and improve hardware/software interfaces

• Self-driven, resourceful, and excited to solve problems in real-world environments

You’ll work at the edge of robotics and real-world impact—building machines that move through water, not just code. If you're passionate about making hardware that matters and want to help shape the future of robotic disaster response, we want to hear from you.

We’re building rugged underwater robots designed for disaster response—navigating submerged environments, supporting emergency ops, and surviving extreme conditions. As an Embedded Systems Intern, you’ll help develop the firmware and low-level control systems that power autonomous navigation, sensor integration, and mission-critical reliability.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain embedded firmware for microcontrollers controlling motors, sensors, and power systems

• Interface with hardware components including IMUs, pressure sensors, GPS, and sonar modules

• Implement communication protocols (UART, I2C, SPI, CAN) for reliable onboard and remote data transfer

• Optimize real-time performance, fault handling, and power management on embedded systems

• Support integration testing of embedded software with mechanical systems in lab and field environments

• Collaborate with autonomy and hardware teams to align software behavior with mission requirements

Qualifications

• Pursuing a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechatronics, or related field (graduating 2025–2026)

• Experience writing embedded C/C++ for microcontrollers (e.g., STM32, Arduino, ESP32, or similar)

• Familiarity with RTOS concepts, timers, interrupts, and low-level debugging tools

• Understanding of control systems and motor drivers (BLDC, servo, ESCs)

• Exposure to sensor integration and calibration

• Basic experience with Python for test scripting or data logging

• Ability to independently debug hardware/software issues and document findings clearly

You'll help build the nervous system of our robots—ensuring they sense, decide, and act under pressure. If you're excited by building systems that must just work underwater during real emergencies, we want you on the team.
