Mechanical Engineer - Advanced Robotics Intern

Analog Devices • Wilmington, MA

1d • $22 - $41

About The Position

Analog Devices’ Analog Garage is an innovation engine where interdisciplinary teams rapidly prototype novel technologies and translate ideas into real-world impact. The Advanced Robotics team develops foundational technologies to help customers build more capable robotic systems.

As an Intern Mechanical Engineer, you will assist in developing hardware designs for robotics solutions. You will work with experts in electronics, sensing, actuation, controls, and software to take concepts from early exploration through functional prototypes and, in some cases, toward productization for ADI customers. The position reports to the Principal Engineer of the Mechanical Team of the Advanced Robotics Group.

The internship program includes meaningful project work alongside experts, opportunities to learn and build professional connections, lunch-and-learn topics, and social events. ADI aims to develop interns for consideration for future full-time roles.
