Robotics Production Internship

About us:

We’re a Series A company building intelligent, endearing robots for consumer use at home. The home autonomy space has been dramatically overlooked when it comes to robotics. While the last decade has seen an influx of companies promising self-driving cars and intelligent humanoids, none are delivering these solutions reliably or affordably. Meanwhile, regular people are still stuck spending dozens of hours per week on repetitive household chores.

At Matic, we're leveraging advanced technology to address this problem. We've started by reimagining what autonomous floor cleaning robots can achieve using AI and computer vision with our flagship product. From there, our goal is to continue automating other forms of household labor, shipping realistic, affordable, and privacy-first robots to our users while building iteratively toward more complex tasks and capabilities over time.

About the role:

As a Production Intern, you’ll participate in the build out and ramp up of Matic’s early production facilities based in Mountain View, California. The ideal candidate will have a keen interest in working in a fast-paced manufacturing environment, assembling components and systems for various products. The job will require assembly, repair and of critical subassemblies and quality control infrastructure while work closely with team members from our hardware, software, and product teams.

Matic’s production team is dynamic, highly cross functional and very motivated with a deep love for robots. If you’re passionate about great design and obsessed with getting the details right, we’d love to talk to you about how you can work with us to help bring pioneering innovation in home robotics to consumers.

• Identify opportunities to improve production throughput, reduce scrap or improve safety and or quality of life.

• Design fixtures, equipment and processes if needed to implement such improvements.

• Collaborate cross-functionally to resolve production related roadblocks.

What we look for:

• Formal prior experience in formal production is not necessary, however experience in engineering and design will be advantageous.

• Hands-on ability to build electro-mechanical assemblies.

• Quick learner, adaptable to changing priorities, and effective communicator.

• Strong work ethic, team-oriented attitude.

• Ability to work in a fast-paced environment, maintain high standards of work, and exhibit strong interpersonal and communication skills with your teammates.
