What are the responsibilities and job description for the Mechatronics Intern - Hardware & Supply Chain (2026 Fall) position at Anyware Robotics?
What You'll Do
Engineering & Hardware Design and prototype mechanical components for next-generation Pixmo robots using SolidWorks (parts, assemblies, drawings, basic GD&T). Support assembly, testing, debugging, and validation across a wide range of systems — servo motors, robotic arms and end effectors, batteries and power systems, vacuum systems, sensors, and actuators. Optimize for performance, durability, manufacturability, and cost, working alongside software, electrical, and systems engineers.
Supply Chain & Operations Work directly with suppliers on lead times, pricing, and availability — including sourcing new vendors and participating in cross-border negotiation in both Mandarin and English. Make sure hardware is ready for builds, testing, and customer deployments. Own inventory management for robotic parts and assemblies. Coordinate international shipping, customs, and delivery timelines.
Business Exposure Report and present directly to executives. Learn how global trade and logistics work in practice, and see firsthand how engineering decisions ripple into cost, schedule, and scalability.
Who We're Looking For
We're less interested in a checklist of credentials and more interested in how you think. The strongest candidates will demonstrate:
Qualifications
The expected salary range for this role is from $25-$35/hour depending on experience and qualifications.
Benefits include daily meal, per diem, and unlimited snacks and beverages in the office.
Equal Opportunity Statement

Who We're Looking For
We're less interested in a checklist of credentials and more interested in how you think. The strongest candidates will demonstrate:
- Systematic, logical, methodological thinking — you break problems down and work through them with structure
- Independent thought and critical thinking — you question assumptions, dig for root causes, and form your own opinions
- The willingness to speak up — you share ideas confidently, including in front of senior leaders, and push back when something doesn't make sense
Qualifications
- Pursuing or recently completed a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field
- Fluent in Mandarin Chinese — both spoken and written — for supplier communication
- Hands-on experience with SolidWorks (parts, assemblies, drawings)
- Preferred: ~1 year of hands-on experience from industry, startups, internships, or engineering clubs/teams
- Exposure to motor systems and/or vacuum systems
- Genuine interest in both engineering and supply chain/operations
- Comfort with 3D printing, shop tools, and lab builds
- Familiarity with manufacturing processes (machining, sheet metal, weldments)
- On-site in Fremont, CA, with extended hours during major delivery milestones
- Minimum 3 months; longer commitments strongly preferred
- Strong performers have a clear path to full-time conversion
- Real Impact: Your work does not stop at a demo. Everything we build ships to real customer sites, where Pixmo is deployed in production solving real problems at scale. You will see your contributions running in production, not sitting in a lab.
- An A Team: Anyware Robotics is built by top talent. Our team has collectively earned six Best Paper Awards and Finalist honors, including the ICRA 2025 and ICRA 2024 Best Paper Awards.
- An A Robot: Pixmo won the MHI Best Innovation Award at both ProMat 2025 and MODEX 2026, the two largest logistics automation shows in North America. This is the first time in history a robotics company has won this prestigious award back-to-back. Pixmo also earned a 2026 RBR50 Robotics Innovation Award, naming it one of the 50 most innovative robotics solutions globally.
- Fast Growth: You will take on real ownership and real responsibility from day one. With the team doubling every year, there is plenty of room to step up and shine.
- Generous Equity: Every team member receives meaningful equity. We want the people building Anyware to share fully in what we create together.
The expected salary range for this role is from $25-$35/hour depending on experience and qualifications.
Benefits include daily meal, per diem, and unlimited snacks and beverages in the office.
