Full job description
About the job We're looking for a Mechanical Design Engineer Intern to create a novel, top-secret product for our humanoid platform, taking it from CAD to deployed reality within a tight-knit team that has been shipping units for the past year.
About Feather Feather is a VC-backed startup assembling a world-class team to build general-purpose robots. While competitors pursue end-to-end integration, we are focused on creating the best labor platform on which others will build, monetize, and scale, fostering an ecosystem of solutions akin to Apple’s or Nvidia’s.
We’ve moved through the hardware lifecycle at lightspeed -- building our first prototype in two months, fulfilling our first order in nine months (vs. 31 months for Figure), and working with a $4B revenue manufacturer. Our units are deployed across several fields today, including cooking, retail, manufacturing, and more.
Responsibilities
- Design mechanical components and assemblies for humanoid robots, from concept through production
- Own design for manufacturability, prototyping quickly with 3D printing and machining before developing long-term processes and materials that scale
- Write and integrate control software for the mechanisms you design
- Build, test, iterate, and debug on real hardware
What we're looking for
- Pursuing or recently graduated with a B.S. or higher in Mechanical Engineering or a related field
- Hands-on robotics experience – you have built a robot or other complex electromechanical system before
- Industry manufacturing experience (e.g., injection molding, DFM at volume) preferred
- Fluency with CAD and rapid prototyping
- Software fluency is a plus
- 3D printing proficiency
- GD&T
- Documentation and technical writing
Why Join Us
- Be the architect of a novel humanoid platform instead of working on only one small fragment
- Shape the future of robotics and physical AI in a talented, driven team that values ownership, speed, and creativity
- Opportunity to convert to full-time available for top performers
