Engineering Intern (m/w/d)

About this role

As a Summer Engineering Intern at Charge Robotics, you'll work on real hardware and software systems that power our robotic factories, contributing directly to the deployment of gigawatts of clean electricity generation. You will be based out of our East Bay HQ with possible opportunities to travel to customer field deployments to see your work deployed in the field. You will be given a project to own and drive forward through the summer, closely collaborating with our small engineering team.

What you'll be working on

• Contributing to the design, testing, or manufacturing of mechanical, electrical, or software systems for our robotic factory
• Working with cross-functional teams (mechanical, electrical, manufacturing, software, supply chain) on real engineering challenges that affect our production timeline
• Documenting your work, creating validation/test procedures, or developing tools/automation to improve our engineering and manufacturing processes

You

• Are pursuing a degree in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, computer science, mechatronics, or a related field (graduating 2027 or later)
• Have hands-on experience with robotics projects and enjoy building things (personal projects >> coursework)
• Are comfortable working in a fast-paced startup environment with ambiguity and evolving priorities
• Are based in or can relocate to the SF Bay Area for summer 2026, and able to work 5 days/week from our San Leandro HQ for 12 weeks
• Are excited to work with (and safely climb into) giant robots
• Gain satisfaction from personally playing a part in mitigating climate change

It'd also be nice if you

• Have experience or coursework in robotics, industrial automation, controls, or manufacturing systems
• Are familiar with CAD tools (SolidWorks, AutoCAD), programming languages (Python, C++), or electrical design software
• Have worked on projects involving mechanical systems, embedded systems, motor control, sensors, or factory automation
• Are comfortable with hands-on work in a shop/factory environment
