The posting

At Toyota Research Institute (TRI), we’re on a mission to improve the quality of human life. We’re developing new tools and capabilities to amplify the human experience. To lead this transformative shift in mobility, we’ve built a world-class team advancing the state of the art in AI, robotics, driving, and material sciences.

This is a paid 12-week internship opportunity and is a hybrid, in-office role.

Here’s a glimpse into the Internship experience from some of our TRI interns!

The Team

The Prototyping and Research Operations (PROps) team supports and operationalizes TRI’s robotics research to succeed at scale in laboratory and deployment environments. We work across engineering and operations disciplines to develop robot hardware and testing setups, as well as operate and deploy robotic research systems to collect data for researchers. Our team administers the two prototyping laboratories within TRI and uses those facilities to prototype research hardware.

The Internship

The intern who joins our team will have the opportunity to contribute to the work of our various research support projects and the daily tasks that keep our researchers productive by:

  • Maintaining and improving the lab: This will include working with the lab manager on organizational tasks, fulfilling fabrication requests, maintaining and fixing the manufacturing equipment and robot systems, and improving lab workflow and tooling, allowing for more efficient use of the lab space.
  • Supporting our operations projects: This will require our intern to collaborate with Research Operations Engineers to design and coordinate events, improve data collection processes, and maintain testing and deployment documentation to support the research and engineering teams.

Qualifications

  • Engineering, Robotics, or Computer Science student (undergrad junior or senior, or a master’s student).
  • Driven to learn new skills and become adept at new systems, processes, and tools.
  • Experience with rapid prototyping tools (3D printers, laser cutters, hand tools, etc.. ) and time spent in a lab environment designing, prototyping, and manufacturing components and assemblies.
  • Experience in creative and novel mechanical, electrical or software design work and employing rapid prototyping techniques to improve your iterative design process.
  • A safety-first mentality.
  • Familiarity with UNIX/Linux systems.
  • Experience executing and summarizing system tests and results.

Bonus Qualifications

  • Electronic assembly skills like crimping, soldering, and wire routing.
  • Experience with large scale data collection efforts.
  • Computer building/commissioning skills such as GPU, Operating System or power supply installation.
  • Familiarity with hand tools & hardware. Any service, repair or design work with complex mechanical systems is a plus.
  • Familiarity with CAD (preferably OnShape) software.
  • Basic machining skills on a lathe or mill.
  • Experience designing for small-scale contract manufacturing and assembly.
  • Understand software development processes and the tooling required to enact them, such as version control (e.g., Git) and CI/ CD (e.g., Jenkins).
  • Working knowledge of Asana and Gsuite.
  • Demonstrable communication skills, written and verbal, including utilization of design documents and systems drawings.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
