We are seeking a motivated Mechatronics Engineering Intern to join our robotics and automation team supporting advanced semiconductor manufacturing.
This internship provides hands-on experience designing, building, programming, testing, and deploying robotic and automated systems. The intern will work alongside mechatronics engineers and technicians on multidisciplinary projects involving robotics, mechanical design, controls, sensors, machine vision, motion systems, and industrial automation.
Our team develops automation solutions ranging from robotic material-handling systems and precision electromechanical mechanisms to sensors, actuators, controls, and advanced automation platforms used within semiconductor manufacturing.
What You'll Do
As a Mechatronics Engineering Intern, you may
Assist with the design, development, assembly, and testing of robotic and automated equipment.
Develop mechanical parts, assemblies, fixtures, and prototype mechanisms using CAD.
Integrate motors, actuators, sensors, cameras, PLCs, controllers, and industrial I/O into mechatronic systems.
Assist with wiring, mechanical assembly, cable routing, component mounting, and system bring-up.
Support PLC, robot, motion-control, and equipment programming.
Configure I/O and assist with motion tuning, HMI setup, and system integration.
Develop test setups and conduct experiments to characterize system performance.
Troubleshoot mechanical, electrical, controls, and software issues during prototype development.
Participate in design reviews, equipment testing, FAT activities, and system validation.
Collect and analyze engineering data to evaluate performance, reliability, and opportunities for improvement.
Create engineering documentation such as CAD drawings, test plans, work instructions, wiring diagrams, design documentation, and test reports.
Work with mechanical, electrical, software, manufacturing, facilities, and process engineering teams to solve real production automation problems.
Minimum Qualifications
Currently pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's degree in one of the following or a closely related field:
Mechatronics Engineering
Mechanical Engineering
Robotics Engineering
Electrical Engineering
Controls / Automation Engineering
Candidates should also have
A strong interest in robotics, automation, and multidisciplinary engineering.
Fundamental understanding of mechanical systems, electronics, sensors, motors, or control systems.
Experience with engineering design or hands-on technical projects through coursework, student teams, research, internships, or personal projects.
Ability to approach problems methodically and troubleshoot complex systems.
Ability to work effectively within a multidisciplinary engineering team.
Good written and verbal communication skills.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience in one or more of the following areas is desirable, but not required:
3D CAD and mechanical design
Robotics or autonomous mobile robots
PLCs and industrial controls
Python, C/C++, MATLAB, or similar programming languages
Machine vision and industrial cameras
Servo motors, stepper motors, and motion-control systems
Sensors, actuators, and data acquisition
Industrial communications such as EtherCAT, Ethernet/IP, Modbus, or IO-Link
Electrical schematics and wiring
Rapid prototyping, machining, or 3D printing
Robot programming
Controls or HMI development
Engineering testing and data analysis
Semiconductor manufacturing or other advanced manufacturing environments
What You'll Gain
This is intended to be a hands-on engineering internship. Interns will have the opportunity to:
Work on automation equipment that can progress from concept and prototype through testing and deployment.
Gain practical experience integrating mechanical, electrical, controls, and software systems.
Work directly with robotics and automation hardware.
Learn engineering practices used in a semiconductor manufacturing environment.
Participate in real design reviews, troubleshooting, testing, and system validation.
Build experience tackling multidisciplinary engineering problems where mechanical design, electronics, controls, and software all interact.
Ideal Candidate
The strongest candidate does not necessarily have experience with every technology listed above. We're looking for someone who likes building things, enjoys figuring out how machines work, and is comfortable moving between mechanical, electrical, controls, and software problems.
Experience from Formula SAE, FIRST Robotics, university robotics teams, makerspaces, research labs, capstone projects, machine shops, personal robotics projects, or similar hands-on activities would translate particularly well to this internship.
