Robotics Electronics Hardware Engineering Intern - 2024 Fall/Winter

Full Time | On-Site

Date: 07/30/24

​


Trossen Robotics has a robust internship/apprenticeship program where students work alongside experienced engineers to be mentored and build valuable engineering skills that can not be taught in a classroom. We don’t stick our interns in a corner to grind away on boring projects for months. Our interns work hands on with the whole team on the company's top tier projects.

​

Interns will be in design & strategy meetings, participate in key architectural decisions, and exposed to the full spectrum of product design and development in the world of robotics. We also host build nights where engineers from all departments hang out and work on company and personal projects where we order pizza, crank up the radio and have a good time building robots and skill development after hours.

​

At Trossen Robotics we maintain a casual atmosphere while working on serious projects in a bleeding edge industry. If you want to accelerate your learning, build valuable experience on your resume, and have fun doing it, we want to hear from you.
