About the role
We’re looking for an ambitious, self-starting, hands-on mechanical engineering co-op to join the team building Atlas, our humanoid robot. Our co-ops design, build, and test prototypes; they investigate weird problems; and they run experiments of all kinds.
About the company
Boston Dynamics is a world leader in mobile robots, tackling some of the toughest robotics challenges. For years, our awe-inspiring viral videos on YouTube have shown the world what remarkably capable robots can do. Now we are quickly becoming a recognized leader in automation solutions for industrial applications, warehouse logistics and general purpose labor.
What our co-ops do
•
Work with mechanical, electrical, and software engineers to help design and support complex robotic systems
•
Plan and perform verification and validation testing on prototype and production systems
•
Design and develop new features for existing products
•
Troubleshoot issues, perform root cause failure analysis and design/implement corrective actions to sustain existing products
•
Design and release parts and assemblies using Catia CAD software
•
Develop and maintain product support documentation including bills of material (BOMs) and detailed part/assembly drawings
•
Support system design analyses, including reliability, DFM / DFA, cost-reduction
What we want to see in our co-ops:
•
A demonstrated passion for robotics and mechanical design
•
Design experience w/ 3D CAD tools (CATIA, Solidworks, Onshape, &c.)
•
That you’re hands-on. Our best co-ops can and want to build, assemble, and troubleshoot stuff
•
That you can write well. A poorly written test plan, report, or spec robs the team of the knowledge we need to make our robots even better.
•
That you’re working toward a BS or MS in Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, or similar
Nice to Have:
•
You know Python, LabView, MATLAB, or similar
•
You know some FEA/CFD tools
•
You have designed stuff for manufacturing (eg injection molding, castings, extrusions, sheet metal, weldments, &c.)
•
You’re acquainted with ASME drafting standards including GD&T, (Y14.5-2018)
•
You’ve worked systems comprising sensors, actuators and mechanisms
Additional Info:
•
Public transportation is accessible from Boston/Alewife.
