Assembly Operator Intern

RIVR

RIVR, part of Amazon is a robotics company pioneering Physical AI through real-world doorstep delivery. Founded in 2024 as an ETH Zurich spin-off, RIVR developed wheeled-legged robots designed to operate in complex, unstructured environments such as stairs, gates, doors, and uneven urban terrain. We believe that achieving general physical intelligence requires solving real customer problems in the real world, where robots can learn from rich operational data at scale. Following our acquisition by Amazon in March 2026, we are continuing this mission with greater reach and speed. By combining custom robot hardware, onboard autonomy, and cloud-based coordination, RIVR, part of Amazon is building the next generation of safe, reliable autonomous robots for last-mile delivery. Job Description As a core executor of robotic hardware assembly, be responsible for the accurate assembly of a full range of robotic components, including robotic joints, structural parts, harness and other key components. Strictly follow assembly process requirements and operating specifications to ensure that assembly accuracy meets product standards. Perform IQC inspections according to the Inspection manual and keep a good record.

SE3 Labs

🚀 JOIN SE3 LABS AS DRONE TEST & FIELD INTERN Help us get our autonomous systems airborne and pushed to their limits. Turn advanced designs into robust, field-proven, real-world solutions. Early team, deep tech, high impact. ABOUT SE3 SE3 Labs is building Spatial AI by combining 3D computer vision with large language models (LLMs). We believe the ability to reason about and act within physical space is foundational to unlocking the next generation of automation, from construction to smart infrastructure, and ultimately, defence. Now, we’re building the physical platform to bring Spatial AI to life. That means high-performance, real-world robotic systems (starting with UAVs) and we’re looking for a hands-on operator who’s ready to fly, demonstrate and perfect these machines with us. ABOUT THE ROLE As our Drone Assembly Working Student/ Freelancer, you’ll play a key role in getting and keeping our fleet of autonomous drones in the air. Working as part of our development team, you will bring new drones to life where hardware and software come together and test their capabilities systematically in the real world. Your contribution will determine how well we understand our technology and define the path of our future development. WHAT YOU’LL WORK ON * Integrate & Checkout: Work hand-in-hand with our hardware & software developers and technicians to complete integration and get new UAVs to flight readiness. * Fly, Test-Fly, Deploy and Fly: Flash, tune and operate drones from backpackable quadcopters to multi-meter wingspan fixed-wings. * Test & Feedback: You drive qualification and development flight testing in the field * Improve & Suggest: Spot bugs and design flaws, propose & evaluate improvements, and help us move faster and build better.
