Introduction
At iRobot, our mission is to empower people to do more by building the world's
most thoughtful robotics and intelligent home innovations. By interning with
the Automation team, you will have hand in improving the efficiency in how we
manufacture, test, and qualify our new and existing products. While
collaborating with Program, Electrical, Mechanical, Software, and Systems
teams, you will grow interdisciplinary engineering skillsets that will help
you excel into a dynamic engineering career.
As a part of our Automation team, you will work under the guidance of a mentor
who is experienced in your pursued degree to plan, design, develop and support
automation projects (hardware and software).
Our team is looking for undergraduate students to work full-time (40hrs;
M-F) at our Bedford, MA office from May to June. Students must be within a
commutable distance to the Bedford, MA office.
Because Automation requires interdisciplinary engineering, what you do is
dependent on where you want to grow!
CAD, PCB & control panel design support for fixture development and
modifications
Manage requirements for complex electromechanical systems with a
significant software component
Test and evaluate fixtures hardware for reliability
Document and manufacture build process of fixtures
Participate in various phases of our product development process
Collect, interpret, and document data collection
