Intelligent software orchestrates advanced robots in a high-density, end-to-end system - reinventing warehouse automation for increased efficiency, speed and flexibility.\nTimeframe: Summer (May-Aug 2027)\nAt Symbotic, Early Career talent plays a meaningful role in helping us reimagine the future of supply chain automation. Through our Internship and Co-op programs, students have the opportunity to contribute to real projects, collaborate with experienced engineers and business leaders, and gain hands-on exposure to the technologies powering our end-to-end robotics and automation solutions. We are looking for curious, motivated students who are excited to solve complex problems, bring new perspectives to cross-functional teams, and see their work make an impact in a fast-moving, innovative environment.\nAlong the way, Interns and Co-ops are supported through mentorship, professional development, networking opportunities, and a robust calendar of events designed to help them build community and grow their careers. Symbotic offers transportation and housing benefits for students who meet our relocation requirements.\nContinue reading below to learn more about this exciting opportunity!\nAbout the Opportunities\nSymbotic’s Hardware Engineering team is a dynamic community of innovators designing the technology that powers our integrated systems. Intern opportunities in our Hardware function include:\nMechanical interns turn ideas into reality by designing and prototyping robotic components while gaining hands-on experience with CAD, SolidWorks, and other technologies that keep our robotics systems running.\n Electrical interns play a key role in sustaining and enhancing our system by managing cables, troubleshooting power issues, and testing and debugging circuit boards (PCBs). \nTesting interns will ensure seamless interaction between hardware and software systems through building test fixtures, developing test plans, and conducting root cause analyses. \n Industrial Controls interns support onsite installations, working hands-on with programmable logic controllers (PLC).\nWhat You’ll Do:\nAssist one of our various Hardware Engineering teams with designing, documenting, building, testing and debugging of the latest technologies and engineering designs. \nDesign parts for various manufacturing processes, including machining, casting, sheet metal, plastics, and fabricated assemblies using CAD. \nAssemble electromechanical assemblies, fixtures utilizing hand tools, measurement equipment and machine tools. \nAssist in debugging issues with the bot Mechanical and Electro-mechanical systems and components. \nDevelop and execute robot motion scripts (python) to control single-axis repetitive movements and coordinate complex multi-axis behaviors in support of test requirements.\nCreate and manage Bills of Materials (BOMs) and Engineering Change Orders (ECOs).\nContribute to the design and implementation of PLC hardware and software systems. \nInform reliability test plans to identify failure modes early in development cycles. \nConduct root cause analysis of system failures to support engineering development. \nWhat you’ll need\nCurrently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in engineering required (Systems, Robotics, Mechanical, Electrical, Computer Science, or related engineering/technical field). \nFamiliarity with developing tests for integrated systems with a high degree of hardware and software complexity, preferably robotics or automation. \nFamiliarity with Python.\nKnowledge of complex electro-mechanical applications including technologies such as robotics, vision, safety-critical systems, multi-axis sensors, localization methods, actuators, and control algorithms. \nStrong analytical, creative problem solving, critical thinking, and organizational skills. \nOutstanding communication skills with demonstrated ability to organize and present data. \nExperience with programmable logic controllers (PLC) a plus\nMechanical: Working knowledge of GD&T and other drawing standards. Experience using SolidWorks or equivalent 3D design software. Familiarity with manufacturing processes: machining, casting, sheet metal, plastics, fabricated assemblies, etc.\nOur Environment\nUp to 10% of travel may be required. Employees must have a valid driver’s license and the ability to drive and/or fly to client and other customer locations. \nThe employee is responsible for owning a credit card and managing expenses personally to be reimbursed on a bi-weekly basis.\n#LI-Onsite \nAbout Symbotic\nSymbotic is an automation technology leader reimagining the supply chain with its end-to-end, AI-powered robotic and software platform.
