Description

Why RoboForce

RoboForce is an AI robotics company developing Physical AI–powered Robo-Labor for dull, dirty, and dangerous work. The company’s robots are engineered for demanding industrial environments, with a focus on real-world deployment and scalability.
 
We are looking for a motivated Mechanical Design Engineer Intern to join our team. This is a hands-on opportunity to design, prototype, test, and iterate on robotic hardware for real-world deployment. You will work alongside experienced mechanical, electrical, and robotics engineers on ambitious, real-world problems. You will help turn ideas into tested hardware and see how your designs perform as part of complete robotic systems.

Responsibilities

  • Design mechanical parts, mechanisms, and assemblies for robotic systems.
  • Create and update 3D CAD models and engineering drawings.
  • Perform basic engineering analysis, tolerance checks, and FEA.
  • Support prototype fabrication, assembly, testing, and design iteration.
  • Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, and robotics engineers during system integration.
Requirements
  • Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, Mechatronics, or a related field, or graduated within the past 6 months.
  • Strong mechanical design fundamentals.
  • Experience with SolidWorks or Fusion 360.
  • Hands-on experience designing and building mechanical hardware through coursework, research, internships, robotics teams, or personal projects.
  • Familiarity with manufacturing processes such as CNC machining, sheet metal, or 3D printing.
  • Able to work on-site in Milpitas, CA, five days per week (40 hours/week)
Bonus Qualifications
  • Experience with robotic arms, actuators, transmissions, mobile robots, or end-effectors.
  • Familiarity with GD&T, tolerance stack-up, FEA, and DFM.
  • Machine-shop or rapid-prototyping experience.
  • Experience taking a design from CAD to manufactured and tested hardware.

Benefits

  • Company-provided lunch and dinner, a fully stocked kitchen, and team events.
Compensation: $6,000-$6,500 USD per month
