Deployment Mechatronics Intern

As a Deployment Mechatronics Intern at ERIC Robotics, you will support the deployment, assembly, calibration, and field testing of robotic systems. This role focuses on hands-on work with mechanical systems, sensors, wiring, and robotic hardware during pilots and field deployments.

You will work closely with the engineering team to ensure that robotic systems are properly assembled, calibrated, and ready for real-world operation.

This is a hands-on engineering internship, not a desk-only role.
