We aim to deploy one million humanoid robots in the next 10 years, eventually producing and deploying > 10M robots per year. Our robots are designed to tackle manual labor across manufacturing, warehouse, logistics and more.\nFounded just less than two years ago, we have already built eight generations of humanoid robot prototypes, secured venture backing, and attracted major customers eager to try out our solution. With real time human oversight and a powerful data flywheel, we are building embodied AI systems that can work in the real world in the same way as we do.\nWhat we believe:\nWe are all about our customers. We talk to real folks in the industry to find out what they actually need, then we build products that solve those problems. Simple as that. \nWe are agnostic to different technical approaches. There is no single “silver bullet” for real world robotics. We stay open-minded, keep learning, and try whatever works best. \nWe keep it practical. For example, our robots have wheels, not legs (no backflips in the near future). We don’t waste time over-engineering fancy features that don’t make a real difference for our customers’ success. \nThe role:\nWe are seeking a Mechatronics Engineer Intern with a passion for both mechanical and electronics engineering. You will assist in building and integrating the physical components of our robots, from arms and end effectors to sensors and mobile platforms. This position offers a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience while shaping the next generation of humanoid robots. This role is in person for our Chicago office.\nWhat you will do:\nAssemble humanoid robots.\nDesign and fabricate custom hardware parts using CAD for 3D printing, sheet metal, and CNC milling.\nSet up and route cables, power supplies, and sensors (depth cameras, RGB cameras, LiDAR).\nAssist in firmware-level tasks and communication protocols (RS232, I2C, CAN bus) to ensure everything connects properly.\nBuild temporary testing platforms, create CAD models for custom parts, order them, and oversee final assembly.\nWork closely with senior engineers to conduct assembly, testing, and validation of robotic prototypes in lab and customer sites.\nRequirements\nWhat you will bring:\nProficiency in CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, Fusion 360) for part design and fabrication.\nBasic knowledge of communication protocols (RS232, I2C, CAN bus) and common embedded firmware concepts.\nHands-on experience with 3D printing, basic machining, and electronics assembly.\nStrong problem-solving mindset and eagerness to take on new challenges in a fast-paced startup environment.\nExperience with aluminum extrusions, sheet metal design, and CNC manufacturing.\nFamiliarity with ROS/ROS2 and basic robotics concepts.\nPrior experience assembling robots, drones, or other complex mechatronics systems.\nThis role requires shifting working schedules and travelling in different US cities from time to time.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3048,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Industrial
