About the role#
As an Electrical Engineering Intern, you will work on the core electronics that drive robot expressiveness, including power, sensing, actuation, and computation. You will work closely with the founding team to design, validate, and iterate on PCBAs, taking ownership of hardware from initial schematics to physical board bring-up. This role requires regular bench work, including soldering, board rework, and signal probing.
What you'll do#
- Contribute to PCBA design and validation for robot subsystems, including power distribution, motor control, sensing, and compute integration.
- Develop early electrical concepts and assist with trade studies to support architecture decisions.
- Manage schematics and layout work through fabrication and bring-up, iterating based on test results.
- Debug hardware issues systematically, document findings, and support cross-boundary debugging between hardware and firmware.
- Review schematics, layouts, and bills of materials with the team.
What you'll need#
- Currently pursuing a degree in Electrical Engineering with hands-on experience through projects, clubs, research, or prior internships.
- Fluency in Altium or similar tools for schematics and layout.
- Experience with power electronics, motor control, sensing systems, or embedded robotics hardware.
- Experience programming microcontrollers, DSPs, or FPGAs.
- Proficiency in bench work, including soldering, rework, and probing.
- Ability to work in an evolving environment where your input shapes the platform's architecture.
Location & details#
- Locations: San Francisco, California or Toronto, Ontario.
- Term: Summer 2026.
- Modality: On-site.
- Employment: Full-time internship.
- Compensation: Paid position.
