Robotic Engineer, Internship

About AerX Space Labs

AerX Space Labs is developing intelligent robotic and autonomous systems, including aerial drones, quadruped robotic dogs, autonomous ground robots, and underwater robotic platforms. We seek motivated, technically capable, and hands-on robotics interns who can contribute to the design, development, assembly, programming, and testing of real-world robotic systems. This opportunity is for students passionate about transforming engineering concepts into functional prototypes.

Key Responsibilities

• Robotics Design & Mechanical Development

• Design robotic structures, chassis, joints, mounting systems, and mechanical assemblies.

• Develop 3D CAD models using SolidWorks, Fusion 360, CATIA, or equivalent tools.

• Support mechanical design for quadruped robots, autonomous ground vehicles, and robotic mechanisms.

• Select motors, actuators, gearboxes, bearings, and mechanical components.

• Support 3D printing, fabrication, prototype assembly, and mechanical testing.

• Electronics & Embedded Systems

• Select and integrate microcontrollers, sensors, motor drivers, and communication modules.

• Work with Arduino, ESP32, STM32, Raspberry Pi, or NVIDIA Jetson platforms.

• Integrate servo motors, BLDC motors, encoders, IMUs, LiDAR, and cameras.

• Assist with power distribution, battery management, and electronic troubleshooting.

• Develop and test embedded control systems.

• Robotics Programming & Autonomous Navigation

• Develop robotic control software using Python and C/C++.

• Work with ROS/ROS 2 for robotic communication, control, and navigation.

• Implement motion control, locomotion, obstacle avoidance, and path planning.

• Support SLAM, sensor fusion, and autonomous navigation.

• Integrate real-time sensor data with robotic control systems.

• AI & Computer Vision Integration

• Integrate cameras and AI vision systems into robotic platforms.

• Support object detection, human detection, obstacle recognition, and intelligent surveillance applications.

• Work with OpenCV, PyTorch, TensorFlow, or YOLO-based detection systems.

• Assist with deploying AI models on edge computing devices.

• Support integration with Mirador AI for intelligent perimeter surveillance and automated alerts.

• Prototype Assembly & Testing

• Assemble complete robotic prototypes.

• Perform hardware and software integration.

• Troubleshoot mechanical, electrical, and programming issues.

• Conduct controlled indoor and outdoor testing.

• Document engineering designs, test results, component specifications, and improvements.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Students pursuing or recently completing:
• B.E./B.Tech – Robotics & Automation
• Mechatronics Engineering
• Mechanical Engineering
• Electronics & Communication Engineering
• Electrical & Electronics Engineering
• Computer Science / Artificial Intelligence

Students from other disciplines with demonstrated robotics project experience are also welcome.

• Essential Skills (Practical experience in at least two):

• Mechanical design and CAD modelling

• Robotics hardware assembly and fabrication

• Embedded systems and motor control

• Python, C/C++, or ROS 2

• Sensors, actuators, and electronic integration

• Autonomous navigation or computer vision

• Preferred Experience:

• Built a working robotic prototype.

• Participated in robotics competitions, hackathons, or university robotics clubs.

• Developed quadruped robots, robotic arms, mobile robots, drones, or autonomous vehicles.

• Worked with 3D printing, electronics prototyping, and hardware debugging.

• Published robotics projects on GitHub or maintained technical project portfolios.

Previous commercial work experience is not mandatory. Demonstrated practical capability is more important than academic grades.

What We Expect

• Hands-on builders, not just theoretical learners.
• Capable of understanding an engineering requirement and quickly developing a functional prototype.
• Comfortable assembling, programming, testing, and troubleshooting hardware.
• Able to work independently while collaborating with mechanical, electronics, and AI teams.
• Interested in contributing directly to real product development.
• Disciplined about engineering documentation, safe testing, and meeting project milestones.

Selection Process

• Stage 1 – Project Portfolio Review: Submit photographs, videos, GitHub repositories, or technical descriptions of personally developed robotics projects.
• Stage 2 – Technical Interview: Assessment of mechanical design, electronics, embedded systems, robotics programming, and troubleshooting skills.
• Stage 3 – Practical Engineering Assessment: Shortlisted candidates may complete a small, time-bound robotics design or programming task.
• Stage 4 – Final Selection: Based on technical capability, practical experience, problem-solving skills, and readiness to contribute.

Internship Benefits

• Work on real-world robotics and autonomous systems.
• Hands-on exposure to mechanical design, electronics, AI, and robotic software development.
• Opportunity to contribute to the development of AerX robotic products.
• Technical mentoring and collaborative engineering experience.
• Internship completion certificate upon successful participation.
• Potential consideration for full-time engineering opportunities.
