Intern - Electrical Engineer

About this role

Human Computer Lab, a robotics startup, seeks an electrical engineering intern to design and validate PCBAs for LeLamp, an expressive consumer robot. You'll work hands-on from schematic through board bring-up, debugging hardware and supporting system integration with the founding team in San Francisco.

What you'll do

• Design and validate PCBAs for power distribution, motor control, sensing, and compute subsystems
• Perform hands-on bench work including soldering, rework, probing, and board bring-up
• Debug hardware issues systematically and document findings
• Support schematic and layout work from fabrication through testing and iteration
• Review schematics, layouts, and BOMs with teammates
• Collaborate on system integration and hardware-firmware cross-boundary debugging

What they're looking for

• PCB design using Altium or similar tools (schematics and layout)
• Soldering and component rework
• Oscilloscope and signal probing
• Power electronics and motor control experience
• Microcontroller or embedded systems programming
• Robotics hardware or sensing systems knowledge
• Strong analog and digital circuit fundamentals
• Technical documentation and problem-solving
