Role at a Glance

In this Test and Reliability Engineering Internship you will be working on ensuring the overall system deliverable is a world class robotics platform. You will be working closely with individual design engineers in the Mechanical and Electrical teams and also working with team leads to improve overall reliability and performance of our robotic systems. This team has a primary focus on the success of the entire product and not any one individual component. As such, you will be working on pre and post production release testing with analysis and reporting to confirm/refute our ability to operate effectively in our design envelope.

Gecko’s engineers are project and mission driven and as part of the team supporting deployment of our systems in the field, you will be working on a project that is expected to make a direct difference to our operational effectiveness. A substantial part of the experience will be spent in our 10,000 sq ft lab space which is equipped with everything you need to develop, build and test these projects. You will be paired with a strong mentor who will ensure you are building solutions that work in as close to real world conditions as possible. This isn't a sideline experience; you'll work alongside our current full-time engineers on meaningful tasks, contributing to the development of impactful products. Gecko is committed to offering opportunities that inspire individuals who are self-motivated, thrive in a small company environment, and passionate about creating phenomenal products that address significant problems.
