About the Role
Human Computer Lab is developing character robots that feel alive and responsive, starting with LeLamp, a robot that explores a new category of consumer robotics where everyday objects become interactive. The goal is to advance human-robot interaction by creating technology that is legible, emotionally intuitive, and human-centered, laying the groundwork for a new generation of robots for everyday environments. This internship focuses on supporting LeLamp's development through a blend of mechanical prototyping and controls work.
Responsibilities
- Build and iterate on prototyping rigs, including mechanical assembly, wiring, and basic controls integration.
- Perform lower-level controls tasks such as sensor wiring, calibration, and writing simple test scripts.
- Assist with mechanical design tasks, including CAD iteration, fixture design, and fit checks.
- Facilitate the integration of mechanical and controls as the product matures by running test-rig cycles, troubleshooting integration issues, and translating mechanical design changes into controls adjustments.
- Document test results and clearly communicate identified issues to the team.
Requirements
- Pursuing a degree in Mechatronics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
- Some exposure to CAD (SolidWorks, Onshape, Fusion360, or similar) and basic controls/embedded work from class projects, personal builds, or prior internships.
- Hands-on experience with rapid prototyping, machining, microcontrollers, or simple test rigs.
- Comfortable jumping into unfamiliar systems and creating order.
- A focus on users and a sense of ownership over outcomes.
- Ability to think holistically about systems and approach problems creatively.
- A generalist approach across the physical stack.
- Ability to work quickly in rapid iteration cycles.
- Willingness to take ownership over systems.
- Ability to work collaboratively in small teams with minimal mentorship.
- Curiosity, resourcefulness, and motivation to solve difficult problems.
