Full-Stack Robotics Engineer Summer 2026 Intern

About CircuitHub

CircuitHub is reshaping electronics manufacturing with The Grid —a factory-scale robotics platform designed to make small-batch, high-mix electronics assembly radically more efficient. Think semiconductor-fab levels of precision applied to the chaotic world of prototyping and low-volume production. The result? A 10x throughput improvement in one of the world’s most foundational industries.

We’ve raised $20M from top-tier investors including Y Combinator and Google Ventures—and we’re already profitable. Our customers include industry leaders like Tesla, Meta, and Zipline.

The Grid isn’t a prototype—it’s live, scaling fast, and already delivering real revenue. This summer, we’re opening up our factory floor to a select group of interns to work directly on the systems that keep it running.

What We’re Looking For

• We’re hiring summer robotics interns to join our engineering team in Western Massachusetts. This is a hands-on role—expect to spend your time embedded in the factory, working on real hardware and software systems, not hypothetical projects.

• You’ll help tune camera networks, debug robot reliability issues, prototype mechanical and software fixes, and run experiments to push throughput higher.

• This is not a “shadow and observe” internship. You’ll contribute directly to live production.

• Who This Internship Is For

• This role is for students or early-career engineers who have already built real robotic or mechatronic systems—through classes, side projects, competitions, labs, or startups.

• We’re looking for people who:

• Think in systems and can diagnose problems from first principles

• Aren’t afraid to get hands dirty with both hardware and code

• Can work autonomously and communicate clearly to a team

• Want to see their work running in production, not just in a simulation

• Example Internship Projects

• Configure and debug a distributed GigE vision system

• Analyze end effector behavior from video and prototype design tweaks

• Build and deploy a small test rig for in-line PCB validation

• Collect performance data to inform our automation roadmap

• Why This Internship Matters

• You’ll spend the summer inside one of the most advanced electronics assembly systems in the world. Your work will have real impact on production, not just on a demo bench.

• This is a chance to see how frontier robotics and automation actually operate at factory scale—and to get experience that sets you apart from the typical internship track.

• What Will Set You Apart

• Hands-on experience building robots, automation systems, or mechatronics projects

Skills in mechanical CAD, Python or C++, and basic electronics/debugging

• Experience troubleshooting under pressure (competitions, labs, hackathons, jobs)

• Curiosity, resourcefulness, and bias toward action

• Key Tools & Technologies

• Python for control and automation

• Beckhoff TwinCAT for industrial PLC integration

• SolidWorks and/or Fusion 360 for mechanical design

• GigE Vision, industrial sensors, motion control systems

• Location: On-site in Western Massachusetts

• Duration: 10–12 weeks, Summer 2026

Compensation: Paid internship
