Robot Development Intern

Robot brains can't do anything useful without the right bodies. Neo Cybernetica is building an on-site multidisciplinary intern team to prototype novel robotic systems, and we’re looking for engineers who are excited to contribute to either of two key areas:

1) Mechanical / Hardware / Fabrication: design, build, and iterate on robot bodies and mechanisms

2) Software / Controls / Systems: program, sense, and control those bodies in the real world

You don’t need to do both – we’re actively looking for people who specialize in either. What matters most is that you're excited to work closely with teammates across disciplines in a fast-paced, hands-on startup environment. You’ll work alongside some of the brightest minds in robotics – a star engineering team pushing boundaries, designing, building, testing mechanical and electrical subsystems for robot prototypes. 

You will learn to build and test complex, real-world robot systems and learn about the unique challenges of building and integrating robot hardware and software. You'll get exposure to a variety of fabrication techniques, programming languages and integration strategies for robotics.

Technical Requirements: Mechanical Track

• Knowledge of Mechanical Engineering, with a focus on mechanism design
• Experience with 3D CAD modeling (Fusion 360, SolidWorks, etc.)
• Familiarity with 3D/FDM printing and related materials
• Basic skills in wiring and soldering for electrical assemblies
• CNC machining is a plus; willingness to learn on the job is essential
• Will also consider applicants who want to learn to design and fabricate electrical PCBs

Technical Requirements: Software Track

• Coursework in introductory robotics
• Experience programming embedded systems, real robots or robot simulation
• Familiarity with using git and the unix command-line interface
• C++ or Rust knowledge is a plus; willingness to learn on the job is essential
• Computer vision is a plus

If you loved being on an FRC robotics team building and coding for cool robots at a fast pace, then this role is for you!
