Mechatronics Engineer, Intern
About Us
Parametric is building robots to automate physical labor in the real world. We're a small team of staff-level engineers moving fast from prototype to product, and we're hiring for a fall/winter internship position.
About The Role
You'll collaborate with our hardware engineering team to design the electrical architecture of our mobile manipulation platform: power, wiring, and the buses that tie actuators, sensors, and compute into one working robot. You'll write the bring-up and validation code for the subsystems you build and hand off clean, working interfaces to software engineers. This is an in-person role in our San Francisco office. We are unable to provide visa sponsorship at this time.
What You'll Do
- Design electronics layout, harnessing, and cable routing for systems that move
- Integrate actuators, sensors, and compute
- Write bring-up, validation, and diagnostic code for the hardware you build
- Debug electromechanical issues at the bench and on the robot
- Work with vendors as we move toward production
What We're Looking For
- Previous internships or club experience in robotics or electromechanical systems
- Experience integrating motor controllers, encoders, and sensors on real hardware
- Ability to write the code that brings hardware up and proves it works
- Proficient at making things: CAD, 3D printing, and general fabrication
- Comfortable with ambiguity, fast iteration, and full ownership at an early-stage startup
The strongest applications show us what you've built. Include a portfolio, photos, or links to your work.
