Mechanical Design Engineer

Company Description Devol Robots is building physics-aware embodied AI that enables robots to see, feel, and predict physical interaction in complex manipulation tasks. The company focuses on turning high-level objectives into precise, human-safe robotic actions across a wide range of platforms, including robotic arms, bimanual, and humanoid systems. Its patent-backed technology replaces rigid, scripted behaviors with adaptable, goal-seeking autonomy that performs reliably at scale. Devol Robots offers deployment-ready solutions designed to bring advanced robotic capabilities into real-world environments and industries.

Role Description The Mechanical Design Engineer intern will support the design and development of robotic hardware components, mechanisms, and assemblies that integrate with Devol Robots embodied AI systems. Day-to-day responsibilities include creating and updating 3D models and engineering drawings, assisting in mechanical analysis and calculations, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to refine product requirements. The intern will participate in prototyping, testing, and design iterations to improve performance, safety, and reliability of robotic systems. This is an internship role that is on-site, located in Damansara, and requires close collaboration with engineering and product teams in the lab and workshop environment.
