## Job description

**Engineering Co-op – Advanced Manufacturing Engineering (AME)**

  

This 6-month Co-op will begin on January 4th, 2027, in our Waltham, MA robotics factory.  

**Public Transportation is Accessible from Boston/Alewife.**

  

**Boston Dynamics** is a world leader in mobile robots, tackling some of the toughest robotics challenges. While our awe-inspiring [viral videos on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/BostonDynamics) show what remarkably capable robots can do, our focus is on scaling automation solutions for industrial applications and warehouse logistics. We are seeking a talented, self-motivated, hands-on engineering co-op to help design, integrate, and optimize the manufacturing systems that bring our robots to life.

  

**The Team:**

As an Advanced Manufacturing Engineering (AME) Co-op, you won't be stuck doing repetitive busywork. You will join an integrated, cross-functional team that brings together Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, and Factory Automation. Working closely with a dedicated mentor across robot platforms like Spot, Stretch, and Atlas, you will get real-world experience learning how we build, automate, and scale complex robotics hardware.

  

 **Day to day activities:**

-   **Time Studies & Process Improvement:** Conduct time studies on the production floor, gather assembly data, and help to spot bottlenecks and improve efficiency.
-   **Layout & Workstation Design:** Use 2D/3D CAD to help design and update factory floor layouts, ergonomic workbenches, and custom assembly tools/fixtures.
-   **New Product Support:** Assist engineers with prototype builds by reviewing Bills of Materials (BOMs), testing assembly sequences, and helping identify manufacturing improvements early in design.
-   **Work Instructions & Tooling:** Support building, testing, and documenting clear step-by-step assembly instructions and shop-floor tooling for our production technicians.
-   **Automation & R&D Projects:** Support the prototyping, setup, and testing of new manufacturing tools, fixtures, and robotic automation cells.
-   **Hands-On Troubleshooting:** Help investigate assembly issues, test fixes, and collaborate with Production and Quality teams to keep builds running smoothly.

**Desired skills:**

-   Current student enrolled in a degree program in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Robotics Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or relevant fields.
-   Familiarity with 2D/3D CAD tools (such as SolidWorks, Catia, or AutoCAD) through coursework, clubs, or prior internships.
-   Ability to read basic mechanical assembly drawings and Bills of Materials (BOMs).
-   Hands-on experience building, tinkering, or troubleshooting mechanical or electro-mechanical projects (e.g., machine shop work, FIRST/VEX Robotics, Formula SAE, or personal builds).
-   Basic experience with Excel and programming/scripting (e.g., Python or MATLAB) for analyzing data.
-   Eagerness to learn, ask questions, and work hands-on alongside engineers and technicians on the factory floor.

  

The pay range for this position is between $32 to $37 per hour.
