* Job Responsibilities:

**## Magna Corporate R&D in Toronto is seeking a talented, visionary, and self‑motivated Robotics Engineering Summer Student to join the Advanced Robotics Group for a four‑month internship term. As part of Magna Corporate R&D’s Advanced Manufacturing department, the Robotics Group is dedicated to creating new automation solutions that increase efficiencies through advanced robotic technologies.

The ideal candidate is an MS/MEng or BS/BEng student, in at least their 3rd year, studying Electrical, Mechanical, Mechatronics, or a related engineering field with a focus on Robotics. Candidates should have experience with ROS(2), Python, robotic programming and controls, and initial exposure to validation processes for functional and reliability evaluation of complex robotic systems. Additional experience in machine vision/image analysis, tactile perception, and/or sensor‑fusion techniques is preferred.

This position is crucial to the Advanced Robotics Group and provides the opportunity to work in a culture that fosters creativity and problem‑solving. The successful candidate will be part of a tightly knit development team that is building advanced manufacturing solutions for the future.## Major Responsibilities
* Contribute to operating the newly built advanced robotics lab at the Magna Innovation Campus Toronto, including communication with internal and external stakeholders, and the development of test and validation plans, including resources and materials.
* Work on the definition, technical feasibility analysis, and hardware and software specification of test solutions applicable to various advanced robotic technologies, including object recognition, machine vision, motion planning, tactile perception, and dexterity.
* Collaborate with cross-functional engineering, product management, and/or program management to drive new product development programs from concept to production.
* Understand system requirements, work with the team to establish and validate operational windows, design experiments, and define test plans.
* Implement test systems, including proposing appropriate hardware (e.g., fixtures, sensors, actuators) and interfacing electrical or computer systems (e.g., data acquisition systems).
* Execute test plans, collect test data, perform data analysis, and report and present the results.
* Attend technical conferences and stay connected with academic progress to learn new tools and methodologies and stay up to date on market and technical trends.
* Comply with designated ISO/TS 16949 responsibilities, Health & Safety (H&S) rules and practices, and Magna policies, procedures, and practices.## Knowledge and Education
* MS/MEng or minimum 3rd-year BS/BEng student in Electrical, Mechanical, Mechatronics—or similar engineering—with a focus on Robotics.
* Capabilities in ROS and Python programming; other programming languages such as C/C++ and familiarity with NVIDIA’s ISAAC Robotics Framework, etc., are an asset.
* Initial experience in working with robotic control systems, PLCs, and related communication interfaces.
* Familiarity with AI/ML methods, in particular for computer-vision tasks, tactile sensing, etc.
* Understanding of motion…
