About the Role

Join us as a Mechanical Engineering Intern on a fast-moving team of five. Here, you’ll build things that actually get deployed. You’ll own projects across structural design, thermal performance, and packaging for our next-generation robotic sensor kits. Be ready to work through the full hardware development cycle: concept CAD, rapid prototyping, FEA, DFM iteration, supplier coordination, assembly, and field validation in live farm environment.

Responsibilities

  • Conceptualize new mechanical architectures for robotic systems in harsh environments
  • Lead design reviews internally and externally with suppliers and partners
  • Develop enclosure systems for thermal management, vibration resistance, and weather protection
  • Perform tolerance analysis and DFM reviews with manufacturing partners
  • Own prototype builds and field-test validation
  • Collaborate closely with perception, robotics, and electrical teams to optimize full-system integration

Requirements

  • Track record of hands-on personal projects (outside the classroom) demonstrating hardware skills
  • Demonstrated understanding of structural analysis and failure modes of complex mechanical systems
  • Proficiency in CAD software and FEA modeling
  • Solid understanding of GD&T
  • Comfortable making first-principles engineering trade-offs, even with partial information
  • Experience integrating sensors, compute, and/or power systems into physical assemblies
  • Comfortable building, assembling, and debugging physical hardware

About the Company

  • At moss, we build robots that scan trees! But at our core, we’re solving a much bigger problem: enabling autonomous farming.
  • We’re a small team of practical engineers with a long-term vision. We focus on real, messy, on-the-ground problems today, while working toward a future where autonomous farming helps make agriculture more sustainable and accessible.
