Work as a Mechanical Engineering Intern designing and prototyping robotic sensor kits. Own structural design, thermal and enclosure development, perform FEA and tolerance/DFM analysis, coordinate suppliers, build prototypes, and validate hardware in field environments while collaborating with perception, robotics, and electrical teams.

The Role
Minimum Requirements
What You'll Do
At moss.ag, we build robots to go where humans won't, digitizing the physical outdoor world to make it machine-readable. Starting with tree farms — where a single field holds millions of plants no human has ever fully inventoried. 🌲🤯🌳
We’re a small team of practical engineers with a long-term vision. We focus on real, messy, on-the-ground problems today, while working toward a future where autonomous field robots make harsh outdoor jobs easier and safer.
If our mission aligns with how you work and think, we’d love to learn more about you!
Join us as a Mechanical Engineering Intern on a fast-moving team of seven. Here, you’ll build things that actually get deployed. You’ll own projects across structural design, thermal performance, and packaging for our next-generation robotic sensor kits.
Be ready to work through the full hardware development cycle: concept CAD, rapid prototyping, FEA, DFM iteration, supplier coordination, assembly, and field validation in live farm environment.
We're looking for both a full time engineer, and intern candidates for co-ops, summer, and/or part-time roles.
- Track record of hands-on personal projects (outside the classroom) demonstrating hardware skills
- Demonstrated understanding of structural analysis and failure modes of complex mechanical systems
- Proficiency in CAD software and FEA modeling
- Solid understanding of GD&T
- Comfortable making first-principles engineering trade-offs, even with partial information
- Experience integrating sensors, compute, and/or power systems into physical assemblies
- Comfortable building, assembling, and debugging physical hardware
- Conceptualize new mechanical architectures for robotic systems in harsh environments
- Lead design reviews internally and externally with suppliers and partners
- Develop enclosure systems for thermal management, vibration resistance, and weather protection
- Perform tolerance analysis and DFM reviews with manufacturing partners
- Own prototype builds and field-test validation
- Collaborate closely with perception, robotics, and electrical teams to optimize full-system integration

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
