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 Mechanical Design Engineer Intern to join our team. This is a hands-on opportunity to design, prototype, test, and iterate on robotic hardware for real-world deployment. You will work alongside experienced mechanical, electrical, and robotics engineers on ambitious, real-world problems. You will help turn ideas into tested hardware and see how your designs perform as part of complete robotic systems.Responsibilities

- Create and update 3D CAD models and engineering drawings.
- Perform basic engineering analysis, tolerance checks, and FEA.
- Support prototype fabrication, assembly, testing, and design iteration.
- Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, and robotics engineers during system integration.
- Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, Mechatronics, or a related field, or graduated within the past 6 months.
- Strong mechanical design fundamentals.
- Experience with SolidWorks or Fusion 360.
- Hands-on experience designing and building mechanical hardware through coursework, research, internships, robotics teams, or personal projects.
- Familiarity with manufacturing processes such as CNC machining, sheet metal, or 3D printing.
- Able to work on-site in Milpitas, CA, five days per week (40 hours/week)
- Experience with robotic arms, actuators, transmissions, mobile robots, or end-effectors.
- Familiarity with GD&T, tolerance stack-up, FEA, and DFM.
