We are looking for a Robotics & Automation Engineering Intern who wants to build real machines that operate in scientific laboratories. Candidates must be willing to work out of our office in Frederick, MD five days per week.
This is not a simulation or purely software role — you will work on physical robotic systems that combine:
-
robotic manipulators
-
electronic control systems
-
sensors and instrumentation
-
mechanical tooling and fixtures
-
software that coordinates complex experimental workflows
You will help design, build, and debug automation systems that run real experiments in real laboratories.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys building things that move, sense, and interact with the physical world.
What You’ll Work On
You may work on projects such as:
-
Designing and implementing robotic workflows for automated laboratory experiments
-
Integrating robotic arms with laboratory instruments and sensors
-
Developing embedded electronics and control systems for automation hardware
-
Writing software that coordinates robotic motion and experimental protocols
-
Designing mechanical fixtures, tooling, and robotic end-effectors
-
Building prototypes and testing new automation concepts
-
Debugging complex hardware/software interactions in real-world systems
-
Improving the reliability and performance of robotic laboratory workflows
Your work will directly contribute to building systems that scientists use to accelerate discovery.
Technologies You May Work With
Depending on the project, you may work with:
-
Robotic manipulators and motion systems
-
Python / C++ control software
-
Robotics frameworks (ROS or similar)
-
Microcontrollers and embedded systems
-
Electronic circuit design and hardware interfaces
-
Sensors, actuators, and motor control systems
-
Mechanical design and rapid prototyping (CAD, 3D printing, machining)
-
Laboratory automation devices and instrumentation
You will gain experience integrating electronics, mechanics, and software into real robotic systems.
