Join us as a Mechanical Engineering Intern on a fast-moving team of seven. Here, you’ll build things that actually get deployed. You’ll own projects across structural design, thermal performance, and packaging for our next-generation robotic sensor kits.
Be ready to work through the full hardware development cycle: concept CAD, rapid prototyping, FEA, DFM iteration, supplier coordination, assembly, and field validation in live farm environment.
We're looking for both a full time engineer, and intern candidates for co-ops, summer, and/or part-time roles.
Minimum Requirements
- Track record of hands-on personal projects (outside the classroom) demonstrating hardware skills
- Demonstrated understanding of structural analysis and failure modes of complex mechanical systems
- Proficiency in CAD software and FEA modeling
- Solid understanding of GD&T
- Comfortable making first-principles engineering trade-offs, even with partial information
- Experience integrating sensors, compute, and/or power systems into physical assemblies
- Comfortable building, assembling, and debugging physical hardware
What You'll Do
- Conceptualize new mechanical architectures for robotic systems in harsh environments
- Lead design reviews internally and externally with suppliers and partners
- Develop enclosure systems for thermal management, vibration resistance, and weather protection
- Perform tolerance analysis and DFM reviews with manufacturing partners
- Own prototype builds and field-test validation
- Collaborate closely with perception, robotics, and electrical teams to optimize full-system integration
