This mechanical engineering co-op role at ESTAT, a Pittsburgh-based startup, focuses on designing custom robotics components like clutches and brakes using electroadhesive technology. The position involves creating CAD models, performing stress analysis and FEA, translating designs into production files, and managing supplier interactions. Key responsibilities include participating in customer meetings, conducting quality control, and improving existing design tools to accelerate development. The role appeals to students seeking hands-on experience in a fast-paced environment where they can contribute to patentable inventions and work on cutting-edge products that redefine robotic efficiency. The position offers a collaborative culture with a strong emphasis on data-driven decision-making and offers the potential for a second rotation to help large corporate partners implement these technologies.
