Triton Robotic Endoscopy will disrupt flexible endoscopy and set a new standard in outcomes for decades to come.
TITLE: Robotics Systems Engineering Co‑op DURATION: 6‑9 months START DATE: Winter 2026 POSITION SUMMARY: We are seeking a current mechanical, electromechanical, robotics, aerospace, or equivalent undergraduate or graduate student to join us for a spring and summer co‑op. In this role you will gain valuable hands‑on experience developing mechatronic systems for novel medical robotic applications all while learning from a world class team of engineers. The ideal candidate is motivated, determined, and proactive, and acts with passion and intensity in a fast‑paced and collaborative environment.
ESSENTIAL CANDIDATE RESPONSIBILITIES:
Design and build prototype mechatronic systems for research and product development purposes
Integrate software and hardware and test the integrated system in clinically relevant conditions
Characterize and analyze robot performance data using Python or other programming language
Use data‑driven systems analysis to provide design input to hardware and software teams
Support clinical development labs while learning the clinical use case
Perform root cause analysis of robot bugs and failures
Design and build test fixtures
Work effectively within the confines of a regulated, quality‑system driven, FDA‑monitored medical device environment
Work well both independently and as part of a fast‑moving, collaborative team
THE IDEAL CANDIDATE:
Undergraduate or Graduate student majoring in Mechanical Engineering or other electromechanical engineering field
Specific hands‑on experience with:
Mechatronics
Robotics & controls fundamentals including kinematics, dynamics, sensors, and actuators
Python or Matlab for scripting and data analysis
Basic understanding of brushless motors, different sensor types, power transmission methods, etc.
Experience with Robot Operating System (ROS) and one programming language (C, C++ etc.)
Bonus: ability to use SolidWorks and 3D printing for rapid prototyping
A demonstrated desire to play an important role in a small, lean, medical device start‑up
