Intern - Mechatronics Engineer

Human Computer Lab is a research lab building character robots that feel alive and responsive. Our first robot, LeLamp, explores a new category of consumer robotics where everyday objects become interactive and help us reshape our attachment to technology.

Our goal is to push the frontier of human-robot interaction by making technology more legible, emotionally intuitive, and human-centered. We are building the foundation for a new generation of robots designed for everyday environments.

We're looking for a mechatronics intern who can move fluidly between mechanical prototyping and controls work to support LeLamp's development. You'll build and iterate on prototyping rigs, take on lower-level controls and calibration work that currently competes for our engineers' time with deeper domain work, and support mechanical design tasks as needed. As the platform matures, this role will increasingly bridge mechanical and controls — running test-rig cycles, troubleshooting integration issues, and translating mechanical design changes into controls adjustments. This is a hands-on role for someone who'd rather be a generalist across the physical stack than specialize narrowly in one domain this early in their career.

In this role, you will:
