Hardware / Mechanical Engineering Internship (Hardware · Internship (Spring & Summer 2027))

Join Simbe, a leading robotics company, as a Hardware/Mechanical Engineering Intern. You will work alongside our Hardware Engineering team, contributing to the design, testing, and improvement of the Tally autonomous robot platform. This internship offers hands-on experience in building physical robotic systems and solving real-world mechanical engineering problems. You will have a defined project aligned with the team's priorities, gain exposure to the full product lifecycle, and learn from experienced hardware engineers.
