Intern, Hardware

About Baseline Robotics

Open source revolutionised how we write software, but its impact on robotics stays limited due to expensive hardware accessible only to well-funded labs. We run that hardware as shared infrastructure for the broader community, billed only for active station time. For a given task, policies are evaluated under similar conditions, giving researchers common ground for fair comparisons.

In this role you will

• Assemble, calibrate, and bench-test stations until each runs a task reliably.
• Design and make fixtures, mounts, and task reset mechanisms.
• Log failures such as worn parts, loose connectors, or drifting cameras, and fix them.

What we hope you’ll bring

• Hands-on experience with physical hardware, wiring, and benchwork.
• CAD experience (SolidWorks, Fusion 360) for fixtures, mounts, or grippers.
• Python experience to script tests and log sensor data.

We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every qualification.

Details

• Location: Zurich, Switzerland, on-site 5 days a week.
• Duration: 3-6 months.
