Your internship would revolve around real-world industry deployments taking us from a TRL of 7 to 9. You may be remunerated with a combination of salary and share options. The following tracks are available, you would probably be doing a couple of them up to your preference, with examples of what has been done by previous interns (plus most of assembly has been done by interns):

Mechanical experiments and design

• Experiments - E.g. designing variations to the grout extruder to allow less waste and better reliability

• Design - Most design will be iterative revisions of the version 5 robot and its accompanying peripherals, with supervision from the full-time employees

Mechanical manufacturing, assembly and testing

• 3D printing - Slicing prints, setting up, maintaining, and repairing printers (Bambu P1, Elegoo Neptune 3, Modix).

• Outsourcing manufacturing - Maintaining the Bill of Materials and liaising to manufacture custom parts e.g. mechanical parts (3D-printed, machined, or otherwise), or electrical harnesses with partnering manufacturers.

• Power tools - Fabricating parts by hand to quickly iterate to test concepts.

• Assembly - E.g. installing in inserts, bolting parts together, bonding via various adhesives.

• Testing - Testing the robot’s performance, making minor adjustments to ensure it is running to specification

Robotics DevOps & Real World Industry Trials

• Understand the whole project and run our ROS2 stack on the robot.

• Create reproducible testing methodology and evaluate metrics on the robot.

• Be in charge of robot deployment to the various construction sites, and the surrounding logistics involved.

• Explore and procure new parts/new materials for overall robot usage performance improvement.

• On-site Deployment - Operating and testing the robot in real world conditions with the aim of improving the reliability and performance of the robot, as well as the overall on-site processes.
