We are a fast-paced and focused team, with the goal of pushing the frontier of human-robot interaction by making technology more legible, emotionally intuitive, and intentional.\n\nWhat to expect\nWe're looking for a hands‑on electrical engineering intern who wants to help design the hardware that makes LeLamp tick. You'll work on the electronics at the core of the robot's expressiveness (power, sensing, actuation, and computation), contributing to designs from schematic to physical board. This role requires regular bench work, including soldering, board rework, signal probing, and direct hardware debugging. You'll work closely with the CEO and founding team to design, validate, and iterate on the PCBAs that make up LeLamp's electrical architecture and support integration as the full system comes together.\n\nIn this role, you will:\n\nContribute to PCBA design and validation for robot subsystems including power distribution, motor control, sensing, and compute integration.\n\nHelp develop early electrical concepts and assist with trade studies to support architecture decisions.\n\nSupport schematics and layout work through fabrication and bring‑up, iterating quickly based on test results.\n\nDebug hardware issues systematically and close the loop with clear documentation.\n\nReview schematics, layouts, and BOMs alongside teammates.\n\nSupport system integration and cross‑boundary debugging between hardware and firmware.\n\nPerform hands‑on bench work including soldering small components, rework, probing, and board bring‑up.\n\nHelp shape the platform's electrical architecture as it evolves.\n\nYou may be a good fit if you:\n\nAre pursuing a degree in Electrical Engineering and have hands‑on project or coursework experience (personal projects, club teams, prior internships, or research all count).\n\nAre fluent in Altium or similar tools across schematics and layout.\n\nDocument clearly and drive issues to resolution.\n\nAre comfortable at the bench with soldering, rework, probing, and prototype iteration.\n\nHave experience involving power electronics, motor control, sensing systems, or embedded robotics hardware.\n\nHave experience programming microcontrollers, DSPs, or FPGAs.\n\nAre comfortable working in environments where architecture is still evolving and your input shapes direction.\n\nYou will be a strong fit, if you:\n\nHave strong EE fundamentals and curiosity about analog issues inside digital systems, ESD / signals connected to the outside world, voltage mismatch issues, and component behavior details.\n\nLove being at the bench as much as at the computer, and hardware is not abstract to you.\n\nMove quickly through iteration cycles and don't wait for perfect information to make progress.\n\nTake ownership over your work end to end, from first schematic to working hardware in the robot.\n\nWork well in small, collaborative teams where electrical and mechanical are in constant conversation.\n\nCare about what the electronics enable: expressiveness, responsiveness, and the feeling that the robot is alive.\n\nThe early team becomes the DNA of the company. We set ourselves and others to a high standard, and we respond with kindness when things get hard but keep everyone accountable. This requires us to be curious, creative, and diverse in our thinking and approach.\n\nWe’re proud to be an equal opportunity employer and consider all qualified applicants regardless of race, color, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, disability, age, or veteran status. Even if you don’t meet every single requirement, we encourage you to apply.
