Intern, Hardware

About Baseline

Open source revolutionised how we write software, but its impact on robotics stays limited due to expensive hardware accessible only to well‑funded labs. We run that hardware as shared infrastructure for the broader community, billed only for active compute. For a given task, policies are evaluated under similar conditions, giving researchers common ground for fair comparisons.

• Assemble each station from arms, frames, cameras, and on‑station compute into one working rig.
• Bring each station up through calibration and bench tests until a task runs reliably.
• Design and fabricate fixtures, mounts, and reset mechanisms keeping tasks repeatable between runs.
• Track fleet failures (worn parts, loose connectors, drifting cameras) and fold fixes back in.

• Experience with physical hardware.
• Hands‑on experience with wiring, benchwork, and mechanical drawings.
• CAD modelling experience (Solid Works, Fusion 360) for fixtures, mounts, grippers, etc.
• Python experience to script tests and log sensor data.

We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every qualification.
