Mechatronics Intern - Hardware & Supply Chain

Anyware Robotics builds general-purpose mobile manipulator robots for industrial applications. The Mechatronics Intern will design and build robotic hardware while engaging with suppliers and managing inventory, providing a comprehensive view of the operations behind robotics manufacturing.

What you'll do:

• Design and prototype mechanical components for next-generation Pixmo robots using SolidWorks (parts, assemblies, drawings, basic GD&T)
• Support assembly, testing, debugging, and validation across a wide range of systems — servo motors, robotic arms and end effectors, batteries and power systems, vacuum systems, sensors, and actuators
• Optimize for performance, durability, manufacturability, and cost, working alongside software, electrical, and systems engineers
• Work directly with suppliers on lead times, pricing, and availability — including sourcing new vendors and participating in cross-border negotiation in both Mandarin and English
• Make sure hardware is ready for builds, testing, and customer deployments
• Own inventory management for robotic parts and assemblies
• Coordinate international shipping, customs, and delivery timelines
• Report and present directly to executives
• Learn how global trade and logistics work in practice, and see firsthand how engineering decisions ripple into cost, schedule, and scalability

What they're looking for:

• Pursuing or recently completed a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field
• Fluent in Mandarin Chinese — both spoken and written — for supplier communication
• Hands-on experience with SolidWorks (parts, assemblies, drawings)
• Exposure to motor systems and/or vacuum systems
• Genuine interest in both engineering and supply chain/operations
• Comfort with 3D printing, shop tools, and lab builds
• Familiarity with manufacturing processes (machining, sheet metal, weldments)
• ~1 year of hands-on experience from industry, startups, internships, or engineering clubs/teams

Benefits:

• On-site in Fremont, CA, with extended hours during major delivery milestones
• Minimum 3 months; longer commitments strongly preferred
• Strong performers have a clear path to full-time conversion
• Real Impact: Your work does not stop at a demo. Everything we build ships to real customer sites, where Pixmo is deployed in production solving real problems at scale. You will see your contributions running in production, not sitting in a lab.
• An A+ Team: Anyware Robotics is built by top talent. Our team has collectively earned six Best Paper Awards and Finalist honors, including the ICRA 2025 and ICRA 2024 Best Paper Awards.
• An A+ Robot: Pixmo won the MHI Best Innovation Award at both ProMat 2025 and MODEX 2026, the two largest logistics automation shows in North America. This is the first time in history a robotics company has won this prestigious award back-to-back. Pixmo also earned a 2026 RBR50 Robotics Innovation Award, naming it one of the 50 most innovative robotics solutions globally.
• Fast Growth: You will take on real ownership and real responsibility from day one. With the team doubling every year, there is plenty of room to step up and shine.
• Generous Equity: Every team member receives meaningful equity. We want the people building Anyware to share fully in what we create together.
