Teams at Deft AI, Inc.

Mechanical Engineering Intern designing robotic humanoid hand and wheeled robot components. Responsibilities include CAD design, structural analysis, prototyping, manufacturing optimization, actuator and electronics integration, supplier coordination, testing, validation, and fixture development. The intern will collaborate cross-functionally and help move designs from concept through production in a fast-paced environment.

Own end-to-end mechanical design of robotic humanoid hands and end-effectors, including mechanisms, actuators, transmissions, structural analysis, tolerance analysis, and manufacturing drawings. Lead rapid prototype-build-test iterations, collaborate with electrical and software teams, manage suppliers, and take electromechanical products from concept through production.

Own the robot’s industrial design from concept through production, including form, materials, finishes, and color. Build the company’s visual brand, design system, marketing assets, website, trade show presence, and demo videos. Design operator-facing UX for robot monitoring and control, collaborate closely with engineering teams, and establish design workflows and future team structure. The role requires having shipped a physical product into medium-to-high volume production.
