I share some tips on "How to Land a Great Robotics Internship!" and building your resume to differentiate. 

  1. Simulation experience is in demand. Highlight the tools you've used. NVIDIA Omniverse IsaacSim skills are particularly in demand.
  2. Low-level debugging skills are extremely valuable. Learn to use the oscilloscope and trace back to the firmware.
  3. Highlight any experience you have in the workforce. If you've worked in a warehouse or grocery store or hospital or anywhere where you've seen the opportunity to automate physical tasks, that's valuable.
  4. If you can't land a role with a big tech company or a robotics startup, look around for roles that get you hands-on mechanically or electrically for the summer, maybe helping install a 6DOF arm with a local manufacturer, or repairing equipment.
