Internship
Robotics Intern - Winter 2026
Job description
This intern will participate as a team member of the robotics firmware team, contributing to the bring up of firmware components including hardware drivers, communication protocols, and controls functions that allow the robot to communicate, actuate, estimate, and meet the product specifications required for launch of the product.
Job responsibilities
- Support the development and tuning of motion control components for multi-axis robotic systems, including actuator control, trajectory generation, and path execution.
- Implement and test control loops for position, velocity, torque, and force control, and compare real-world behavior against model-based predictions.
- Contribute to state estimation work, including sensor fusion and Kalman filter–based estimators, in both simulation and on hardware.
- Work with distributed communication interfaces (e.g. CAN, NATS, ROS2) to move data between controllers, sensors, and actuators.
- Support motor and sensor bring-up, including calibration, diagnostics, and characterization of encoders, IMUs, and BLDC/stepper/servo drives.
- Iterate between simulation and hardware testing to reproduce corner cases, debug issues, and improve robustness.
- Write clear, maintainable C++ and Python for both real-time and high-level control software.
