Why RoboForce
RoboForce is an AI robotics company developing Physical AI–powered Robo-Labor for dull, dirty, and dangerous work. The company’s robots are engineered for demanding industrial environments, with a focus on real-world deployment and scalability.
We are looking for a motivated Robotics Electrical Engineering Intern to join our team. This role is a hands-on opportunity to bridge the gap between hardware design and embedded software. You will be instrumental in bringing our in-house electronics boards to life by debugging hardware circuits and developing the firmware that drives them.
You will work alongside a team of world-class researchers and engineers on ambitious, real-world problems at the intersection of foundation models, decision-making, and robotics. This is an opportunity to help shape core research directions, build cutting-edge systems, and contribute to work with strong potential for publication at top-tier conferences.
Responsibilities
- Perform circuit validation including power-on tests, signal integrity checks, and continuity testing
- Troubleshoot hardware issues using oscilloscopes, multimeters, and logic analyzers
- Develop, test, and maintain embedded firmware for Arduino (C++) and STM32 (C) platforms using open-source libraries
- Implement and debug communication protocols including CAN bus, I2C, SPI, and UART
- Validate communication protocols with Linux-based environments
- Ensure reliability and robustness of firmware in real-world conditions
- Manage end-to-end documentation, turning complex debugging and firmware details into clear, actionable guides for engineers.
Requirements
- Currently pursuing a BS, MS or PHD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field
- Proficiency with the Arduino ecosystem and experience or strong interest in STM32 (HAL/LL or STM32CubeIDE)
- Understanding of CAN bus architecture and messaging
- Hands-on experience with lab tools (oscilloscopes, digital multimeters, function generators)
- Strong C/C++ programming skills for embedded systems
- Familiarity with Linux environments (command line, basic system operations)
- Experience with Python for scripting, testing, or automation
- Requires 5 days/week in-office collaboration with the teams.
Bonus Qualifications
- Experience with PCB design tools (Altium, KiCad, or Eagle)
- Basic SMD soldering skills for hardware fixes
- Familiarity with Git for version control
- Project experience in motor control, sensor fusion, or robotics
- Experience using Python for hardware interfacing or data analysis in embedded systems
Benefits
- Company-provided lunch and dinner, a fully stocked kitchen, and team events.
The US salary for this intern position is $6,500 per month.
