Robotics Engineering Intern
About The Position
Our mission is to accelerate the construction of critical infrastructure on Earth while pioneering technologies to enable humanity to build beyond Earth. Starting with Cosmic-1 – a system that installs solar panels 10x faster than today’s methods, helping us transition to a clean energy future and laying the groundwork for the future of autonomous construction. The Role As a Robotics Engineering Intern, you will join the team as a full-fledged contributor: designing, building, and shipping core technologies that operate on live customer projects in the field. You’ll work with us to tackle meaningful, challenging problems across hardware, software, and system integration. This is a rare opportunity to: Work on hard, meaningful problems that impact the future of infrastructure and energy. Collaborate with a world-class team from NASA, SpaceX, Google, Built Robotics, and others. Rapidly grow, learn, and lead within a quickly scaling company.
Requirements
- Strong fundamentals in engineering, robotics, algorithms, or systems development
- Demonstrated proficiency in key technical skills: Software : C++, Python, Linux, algorithms, and systems programming Hardware : mechanical/electrical design, CAD, prototyping, test and measurement, and mechatronics
- Ability to thrive in fast-paced environments and deliver high-quality work under tight timelines
- Excellent communication and teamwork skills
- Passion for building autonomous systems that operate in the field
Nice To Haves
- Experience in engineering clubs or project teams such as: robotics teams, Formula SAE, rocketry or autonomous drone/vehicle teams
- Participation in robotics, ML, or hardware research projects
- Personal robotics or engineering projects (e.g., GitHub, competitions, custom builds)
- Familiarity with ROS 2, simulation tools, or robotics frameworks
- Previous internship experience
Responsibilities
- Contribute directly to the development of mission-critical robotic systems used in active customer deployments
- Participate in rigorous testing, validation, and documentation to ensure safety and reliability
- Collaborate closely across hardware and software teams to diagnose and resolve system-level issues
- Support field testing, data collection, and on-site system bring-up
- Communicate progress clearly and take ownership of deliverables
- Design and prototype mechanical, electrical, or mechatronic components for next-generation autonomous construction systems
- Execute hardware-software integration, subsystem bring-up, and reliability testing
- Build test rigs, perform hands-on debugging, and support iteration on structures, sensor, actuator, and compute subsystems
- Develop across the full robotics software stack—from low-level drivers to high-level autonomy and application logic
- Contribute to perception, navigation, planning, machine learning, controls, and real-time system components
- Push production code to live robots operating in the field and support iterative testing in simulation and real-world environments
