Intern, Mechanical Design - Wiring Harness- Fall 2026

About MindMind Robotics is building Physical AI for real-world industrial deployment, starting with the factory floor. We believe the hardest problems in AI are solved when researchers and engineers are hands-on with the physical world every day - and we're looking for people who are passionate about robotics, value ownership, and are excited to tackle difficult problems. Join us if you want to move beyond digital intelligence and put intelligence into motion.About the roleAs a Hardware Engineering Intern at Mind Robotics, you’re an active contributor, not an observer. Embedded directly alongside our senior hardware engineers, you will drive critical components of our roadmap with clear, high-visibility milestones. You'll get your hands dirty, solve complex physical systems problems, and see your work built directly into the robot.ResponsibilitiesModel and maintain 3D wire harness routing in 3DEXPERIENCE/CATIA within system-level robot assemblies — clearances, service loops, tie-down and clamp locationsCreate 2D harness drawings and flattened formboard layouts, including wire run lists, connector tables, detail views, and general notesSelect connectors, contacts, backshells, strain reliefs, grommets, and sleeving; build and maintain the associated BOMsWork with electrical engineering to translate schematics and pinout tables into physical harness architectureApply routing rules: minimum bend radius, shield termination, power/signal separation, abrasion protection, and strain relief at every breakoutBuild prototype harnesses on the board — cut, strip, crimp, terminate shields, apply sleeving and heat shrink — then continuity- and pinout-test everything before it goes on a robotInstall harnesses into robot assemblies and drive what you learn back into the model and drawing: interference, insufficient slack, connectors you can’t reach with a hand toolPackage DFM/RFQ documentation for harness suppliers and contract manufacturers, and help resolve their feedbackMaintain revision control and release documentation in our PLM systemQualificationsCurrently enrolled in a Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or related programWorking proficiency in 3D CAD at the assembly level, not just part modeling. We run 3DEXPERIENCE/CATIA — solid SolidWorks, Creo, or NX experience transfers fineAbility to read and produce clear engineering drawings; working knowledge of GD&T and dimensioning conventionsComfort reading electrical schematics, block diagrams, and pinout tablesHands-on build skills: soldering, crimping, and assembling something electromechanical that had to work. Project team wiring counts — FSAE, Baja, robotics competition, rocketry, UAV, or serious personal buildsDetail orientation. A transposed pin number in a run list becomes a failed buildYou are comfortable with ambiguity, move fast, and have an “engineering curiosity” that drives you to understand how the entire system works, not just your part
