Robotics Engineer Intern – Full Stack Rover / Teleoperation System

We are looking for a Robotics Engineer Intern to help build a full-stack long-distance GPS + camera-operated rover with remote control, live video streaming, GPS tracking, obstacle detection, audio interaction, lighting, delivery compartment, and solar charging integration.

This is a hands-on role for someone who wants to work across mechanical, embedded, software, and systems integration layers of a real robotics product.

The intern will contribute to the development of a rover platform with features such as:

• Remote driving over cellular internet
• Front and rear cameras
• GPS-based tracking and waypoint navigation
• Obstacle detection and auto-stop logic
• Emergency stop and signal-loss safety behavior
• Headlights, taillights, and horn/speaker control
• Text-to-speech audio interaction
• Package delivery compartment
• Solar charging station and auto-docking support

• Assist in designing and prototyping the rover chassis, component layout, and mounting system
• Work on ESP32 / microcontroller-based motor and sensor control
• Support integration of GPS, cameras, speaker, lighting, and obstacle sensors
• Help develop communication between rover hardware and web/mobile control interface
• Contribute to telemetry, safety logic, and remote command execution
• Test power systems, battery performance, and charging workflows
• Support documentation, wiring diagrams, BOM, and technical notes
• Collaborate with mechanical, embedded, and software team members
• Debug hardware, firmware, and integration issues during development

• Strong interest in robotics, mechatronics, or embedded systems
• Basic knowledge of electronics, motors, sensors, and microcontrollers
• Familiarity with ESP32 , Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or similar platforms
• Understanding of serial communication, PWM, GPIO, and sensor interfacing
• Basic programming ability in C/C++ / Python
• Willingness to work on hardware testing, iteration, and troubleshooting
• Good problem-solving and documentation skills

• Experience with ROS / ROS2
• Experience with GPS modules, motor drivers, and camera systems
• Exposure to WebSockets, MQTT, or remote device control
• Knowledge of battery systems, BMS, and power distribution
• Basic CAD or mechanical design experience
• Familiarity with computer vision, streaming, or telemetry dashboards
• Experience building DIY robots, rovers, RC vehicles, or automation systems

• Curious and builder-minded
• Comfortable with trial, error, and fast iteration
• Detail-oriented with safety-first thinking
• Able to communicate clearly with engineers and non-engineers
• Excited to work on a real-world robotics product from scratch

By the end of the internship, the candidate should gain exposure to:

• Full-stack robotics system design
• Embedded control for mobile robots
• Remote operation and telemetry architecture
• Hardware-software integration
• Practical safety design for autonomous/teleoperated systems
• Product development from prototype to test-ready build
