Company Overview

Each year, 2.5 trillion hours are spent on household chores. At Matic, we’re on a mission to recapture that lost time, and we’re doing it by revolutionizing home robotics.

Our first product, also called Matic, is a Wall-E-esque floor cleaning robot. We've built what amounts to "full self-driving in the home” with real-time 3D mapping, adaptive path-tracking, and a precise semantic understanding of the home. Our breakthroughs in spatial AI allow Matic to work reliably in real homes, using only RGB cameras and neural networks running on-device.

Privacy First

What happens in the home, stays in the home. Our robots are private by design, with all data processing performed by the robot itself, not in the cloud.

Our Approach

Before the iPhone, consumers adopted several distinct devices; cell phones, PDAs, and portable music players each served a particular need. We believe in a similar progression for home robotics, starting with single-purpose robots and building iteratively toward more complex capabilities over time.

Our Culture

Matic is a tight-knit and collaborative team, singularly focused on building products our customers will cherish. We're ultra-hardworking people committed to solving tough problems that save precious time and energy.

We're looking for a Mechanical Design interns to join us on the ground floor, with a runway for huge and immediate impact.

What you'll do:

• Work on end-to-end design and manufacturing of parts and sub-assemblies

• Fabricate prototypes, iterate rapidly, advance your concepts through to high volume production

• Develop specifications and accelerated test plans to validate the product for its determined lifetime

• Component-level testing for performance, durability, reliability, and variability

• Complete and release component designs and documentation, including 2D drawings

• Collaborate with a multi-disciplinary team of subject matter experts to create a cohesive and balanced product

• Establish relationships with vendors, suppliers, and CMs in a startup environment
  

What we look for:

• Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field, and in the senior year of study

• Ability to commit to a 6-month internship (with potential extension up to 12 months), working on-site at our Mountain View facility in California

• Demonstrated hands-on project experience in mechanical design (academic, research,

• internships, or personal projects), ideally on consumer-facing products

• Foundational understanding of materials and high-volume manufacturing methods such as Injection Molding

• Proficiency in SolidWorks or similar 3D CAD modeling software

• Working knowledge of GD&T, basic finite element analysis (FEA), and design for reliability concepts

• Thrives in a fast-paced, startup environment and is eager to take on challenging, hands-on work

• High level of ownership, curiosity, and pride in delivering quality work

• Knowledge of GD&T, finite element analysis and design for reliability concepts

• Comfort with fast-paced, startup atmosphere -- you don’t shy away from the hard work

• High level of maturity, ownership, and pride in your work
