About the role#
This internship focuses on the development and validation of metrology methods for haptic performance in stylus and tablet systems. You will work within an interdisciplinary environment to characterize haptic feedback, refine measurement tools, and translate experimental findings into product recommendations. This role is designed for students interested in hardware, sensing, human-computer interaction, and experimental measurement.
What you'll do#
- Design test setups and develop fixtures for calibration and measurement procedures.
- Run experiments to evaluate vibration, force, latency, frequency response, pressure sensitivity, and user-perceived haptic quality.
- Collect, clean, and visualize data to identify trends, variation, and sources of error.
- Define performance metrics, test protocols, and reporting formats for haptic features.
- Collaborate with hardware, firmware, software, mechanical, UX research, and quality teams.
- Investigate new sensors, measurement equipment, and industry practices.
- Support root-cause investigations and suggest improvements to test designs or processes.
- Maintain lab records, experiment logs, and technical presentations.
- Present a final project summary to technical stakeholders.
What you'll need#
- Current enrollment in a bachelor or master degree program in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics, Robotics, Human-Computer Interaction, Materials Science, or a related field.
- Interest in haptics, sensing, precision measurement, stylus input, or consumer electronics.
- Familiarity with experimental methods, data collection, and basic statistical analysis.
- Strong analytical skills and a commitment to measurement repeatability.
- Ability to work safely in a laboratory or prototyping environment.
- Clear written and verbal communication skills.
Location & details#
- Location: Corning, New York.
- Term: Summer 2027.
- Modality: On-site.
- Employment: Full-time.
- Compensation: Paid position ($1,635.00 - $3,185.00 biweekly, based on location and year in school).
- Sponsorship: This position does not support immigration sponsorship.
