Description
About Flexion:
At Flexion, we're building the intelligence layer powering the next generation of humanoid robots. Our mission is to accelerate the transition from fragile prototypes to real-world deployment of humanoids. We are founded by leading scientists in robot reinforcement learning (ex-Nvidia, ex-ETH Zürich) and backed by leading international VC firms. Within a few months, we’ve gone from our first line of code to deploying real humanoid capabilities with our partners.
The role
We're looking for a hands-on Robotics Engineering Intern (Mechatronics) who loves taking an idea from sketch to working hardware on a real robot. You'll design and integrate mechatronic extensions to our robot fleet - manipulators, sensor payloads, custom mounts - and own them end-to-end: from initial concept and CAD design through fabrication, software integration, commissioning, and testing in the field.
This is a rare chance to see your own designs come to life on humanoid robots. You'll work alongside experienced engineers and pick up the integration and debugging skills that only come from putting your parts on a robot and watching what happens. If that sounds like something that would be fun for you, we would love to hear from you.
Key responsibilities
Design mechatronic extensions to our robot fleet (for example new manipulators, sensor payloads etc)
Maintain our robot fleet
Design mechatronic extensions to our robot fleet - new manipulators, sensor payloads, mounting systems, and custom hardware
Take designs from concept through CAD, prototyping, and fabrication to a validated, robot-ready component
Integrate your hardware with our software stack, including drivers, interfaces, and commissioning on real robots
Test and iterate on your designs based on real-world performance, and refine them until they hold up in daily use
Support the maintenance, repair, and readiness of our robot fleet
Document your designs, integration steps, and lessons learned so the team can build on your work
Requirements
Currently pursuing an MSc in Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, or similar
Hands-on experience with robotic systems
Experience with at least one CAD software
Good programming skills in C++
Familiar with Linux/Ubuntu environments
Autonomous working style
Currently pursuing an MSc in Robotics, Mechatronics, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field
Hands-on experience with robotic or mechatronic systems (coursework, personal projects, internships, or lab work)
Solid experience with at least one CAD tool (SolidWorks, Onshape, or similar)
Good programming skills in C++
Comfortable working in Linux/Ubuntu environments
Autonomous and collaborative working style - you take ownership of a component from first sketch to working hardware
Professional working proficiency in English
Nice to Have
Experience with rapid prototyping and fabrication (3D printing, CNC, machining)
Hands-on electronics skills (soldering, PCB design, sensor integration, debugging with multimeters or oscilloscopes)
Familiarity with ROS/ROS 2 or similar robotics middleware
Python for scripting, tooling, or test automation
Basic Git and version control experience
A portfolio of builds, robots, or custom hardware projects you're proud to show off
Benefits
Competitive compensation
A front-row seat at one of Europe's most ambitious robotics companies
An energetic, collaborative team with a bias for action
