Manufacturing Engineering Intern

About the role#

As a Manufacturing Engineering Intern, you will help design, build, and scale the manufacturing systems used to create home robots and data collection devices. This role involves a balance of engineering design and hands-on production support, focusing on the transition from early-stage builds to mass production.

What you'll do#

• Support the design and development of mechanical jigs and fixtures for robotic and wearable devices.
• Contribute to DFM/DFA efforts to ensure designs scale effectively from prototypes to high-volume production.
• Work directly with vendors and suppliers on prototyping, tooling, and production readiness.
• Analyze and optimize manufacturing processes to improve efficiency, reduce waste, and maintain quality standards.
• Create and maintain process documentation, including workflows and standard operating procedures.
• Conduct time and motion studies to identify bottlenecks and support the build team in meeting production milestones.
• Evaluate and recommend equipment and technologies to support efficient manufacturing.

What you'll need#

• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's degree program in Mechanical, Manufacturing, or Electrical Engineering.
• Prior mechanical or manufacturing engineering experience through internships or project work.
• Strong CAD skills and familiarity with rapid prototyping techniques such as 3D printing and machining.
• Understanding of DFM/DFA principles.
• Experience working on consumer hardware, robotics, or compact devices.
• A hands-on approach to problem-solving and the ability to iterate quickly.
