At ADI, you will learn from the brightest minds who are here to help you grow and succeed. During your internship, you will make an impact through work on meaningful projects alongside a team of experts. Collaborating with colleagues in an environment of respect and responsibility, you will create connections that will become a part of your professional network.

ADI’s culture values aligned goals, work‑life balance, continuous and life‑long learning opportunities, and shared rewards. The internship program features various lunch‑and‑learn topics and social events with other interns and full‑time employees.

At ADI, our goal is to develop our interns so they are the first to be considered for full‑time roles.

Analog Garage

At the Analog Garage, we invent what’s next. We are an innovation engine where small, highly interdisciplinary teams tackle hard problems, rapidly prototype novel technologies, and translate breakthrough ideas into real‑world impact.

If problem‑solving through teamwork is in your DNA—and you’re excited by inventing new electromechanical systems that enable the future of robotics—this could be the perfect role for you. Our Advanced Robotics team is focused on creating foundational technologies that help our customers build smarter, more capable robotic systems that transform how work gets done.

Role Overview

As an Intern Mechanical Engineer in the Analog Garage, you will assit in developing innovative hardware designs to enable our customers to build and deliver robotics solutions to their own problems or those of their customers. The ideal candidate has experience working on robots and robotic subsystems. You will work closely with experts in electronics, sensing, actuation, controls, and software to take concepts from early exploration through functional prototypes—and, in some cases, into productization paths for ADI customers.

This position reports to the Principal Engineer of the Mechanical Team of the Advanced Robotics Group.

Key Responsibilities

• Collaborate with a highly interdisciplinary team to develop robotic systems and subsystems
• Produce CAD designs and drawings of robotic systems and subsystems
• Communicate design intent, results, and tradeoffs clearly through sketches, CAD, documentation, and reviews
• Assemble robotic systems and subsystems from components
• Implement control algorithms to control robot motion
• Run robotic experiments and collect robot training data

Basic Qualifications

• Currently enrolled in a Master’s or PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Robotics or a related field
• Strong fundamentals in mechanical design, materials properties, material selection, and manufacturing processes
• Proficiency with CAD tools such as SolidWorks (strong preference), Onshape, or equivalent, including best practices for part design, assemblies, and tolerance specification
• Basic understanding of control algorithms and some experience in deploying them on hardware
• Proven ability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly using clear, simple language and visuals
• Strong analytical skills, attention to detail and effective communication is a must.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience developing and testing mechanical robotics equipment
• Proficiency with SolidWorks
• Experience in the design and deployment of robotic control algorithms
• Experience in actuation and motor development or deployment

Why the Analog Garage?
