Mechatronics Internship (Summer 2026)

Tuesday Lab • New York, NY

8d

About The Position

Tuesday Lab builds delightful robots. We are driven by a desire to make everyday life easier and more fun through cutting-edge robotics. If you love taking things apart to see how they work, watch videos of robots doing tricks, and take inspiration from sci-fi rather than real life, you should come work at the Lab.
We are engineers, researchers, and builders who love living among our creations. Our mission is to make the magical world of animated objects accessible to everyone.

Requirements

• Currently pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's degree in a related technical field, such as Mechatronics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Robotics.
• Hands-on experience with prototyping, assembly, and testing of electromechanical systems.
• Proficiency in CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, Fusion 360) and the ability to read and interpret engineering drawings.
• Familiarity with basic data acquisition and analysis tools (e.g., Python, MATLAB, or similar).
• Experience with instrumentation (e.g., multimeters, oscilloscopes, load cells) and setting up test environments.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills.

Nice To Haves

• Prior internship experience in robotics, hardware testing, or product validation.
• Familiarity with standard industry testing procedures (e.g., environmental testing, reliability testing).
• Experience with PCB design, embedded systems, or basic programming for microcontrollers (e.g., Jetson, Arduino, Raspberry Pi).
• Working knowledge of robot kinematics and controls.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain test fixtures and validation rigs for robot prototypes.
• Conduct extensive testing and validation of the robot and its various subsystems (e.g., actuators, sensors, kinematics, power systems).
• Develop and execute detailed test plans, analyze results, and document findings to inform design iterations.
• Work collaboratively with cross-functional teams (Mechanical, Electrical, Software) to validate system parameters and ensure all necessary requirements are met.
• Rapidly prototype and iterate on mechanical and electrical designs to improve test performance and reliability.
• Assist in the characterization of system performance under various operating conditions.

Benefits

• The opportunity to play a critical role in developing the future of home robotics. Your successful data collection effort will make the difference between a delightful companion and a dysfunctional boondoggle.
• Work alongside smart, collaborative experts who love playful applications and are excited about building the future.
