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.
