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.
