Paid Internship : Hardware Robotics R&D (Mechatronics, 3D Design, ROS 2)

**Role** : Full Time, Onsite (Bangalore) **Experience Required** : Interns and Freshers/Recent Grads (Electronics, Mechatronics, Robotics Engineers - Full Stack : Hardware + Software) with 0-2Yrs hands-on experience. **Must Have Hands-on Skills** (do not apply if you don't have the below skills, resume will not been reviewed) 1. Mechanical + Core Electronics 2. At least 100+ hours of 3D Design (Fusion preferably) & 3D Printing (FDM) experience 3. IOT and Embedded (Arduino & Sensors, STM boards, LoRA, GSM/GPS, IMUs etc) 4. Hands-on knowledge of ROS2, Gazebo, URDF (must have built some working robotic/ mechatronic prototype hardware - not just simulation) **Good To Have Skills** 1. PCB Design and Fabrication hands-on skills 2. Hands-on experience with flight controllers, Power distribution boards, battery management system 3. Advanced fabrication skills like CNC machining (3-axis or 5-axis) Sheet metal forming Carbon fiber composite fabrication **Key Responsibilities (Research & Development - Engineering) :** 1. **Mechatronics R&D & Rapid Prototyping** * Assist in the design and development of robotic systems (bipedal robots, manipulators, ornithopters, bionics). * Hands-on experience in Core electronics, embedded systems and firmware development (STM32, ESP32, IOT Sensors) * Assist in wiring, testing, and integrating microcontrollers, power systems, drivers, and sensors. * 2 and 3 Layer PCB prototyping skills (EasyEDA or KiCad) * Using 3D Design and 3D Printing skills for rapid prototype development **2. Robotics, Control Systems and Simulation** * Implement and tune PID and model-based controllers for robotic actuation. * Work with simulators such as Gazebo, Webots, Isaac Sim, or custom simulation environments. * Perform kinematic, dynamic, and structural analysis to validate designs. * Implement ROS1/ROS2 nodes, topics, services, and actions. * Integrate sensors (IMUs, encoders, force sensors, cameras) and actuators (servos, BLDCs, ESCs, linear actuators). * Develop URDF/SRDF models and integrate them into simulation. **3. Impact - Make In India, Viksit Bharat Mission, Future Innovators** * All GiftdMinds Engineers dedicate 15-20% of time and effort mentoring some of the brightest young minds - GiftdMinds students (age 10-15yrs) with hands-on advanced R&D research and practical skill development in the field of Space-Tech, UAVs, Mechatronics, Robotics, EVs and beyond. This is what we'll be building at GiftdMinds currently. The selected candidate will be **working on one of these based on his/her skill-set level** , hands-on experience and knowledge depth. 1. In house 3DPrinter with 3D Laser cutting swappable rig 2. 12 inch, collapsible, Dobsonian Telescope with automated star tracker 3. RC Plane with FPV + Head tracking camera control 4. Autonomous Unmanned Underwater Vehicle UUV / ROV (Submarine) and Swarm Drones 5. A Disney BDX droid like bipedal Robot 6. A solid motor amateur (COTS and SRAD), sounding Rocket with target apogee of 10Kms 7. A Radio and Satellite communication Ground station for HAM Radio, geo-stationary, FM satellites, International Space Station (ISS) and Radio Astronomy **About GiftdMinds :** GiftdMinds Learning Pvt.
