OCEAN ROBOTS PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT DESIGN & ENGINEERING INTERNSHIP Description You will help develop Protei, the shape-shifting autonomous sailing robot from idea to product. You will take part in the whole process from concept, design, to rapid prototyping, testing at sea to optimizing for manufacturing, to shipping, distribution, to participating in large public presentations & demos. Your day to day job will be technical (Mechanical / Electrical Engineering / Product design) and require you to be fluent in English and Chinese in both daily and technical vocabulary. A large part of the work will also be research in design and sourcing part, interacting with retailers and factories in Hong Kong and Shenzhen. You will work closely with CEO Cesar HARADA with hands on fabrication, simple coding with Gabriella LEVINE, as well as 3D on the computer, sourcing parts, running errands and testing in the water. You will also take part in the birth of a vibrant global online-community passionate about the oceans and robotics. Dates Oct 1 : Deadline to apply Oct 6 : If we have not contacted you by then, we are sorry, you have not been selected. Oct 7 -14 : Interviews Oct 15 : start of internship April 2014 : End of internship. Possibility of employment following internship.
