About MESH
MESH is automating rebar fabrication and construction processes using robotics and software. Our mission is to bring modern robotics and industrial-grade automation to one of the most fragmented and under-invested industries, enabling faster, safer, and more precise construction through systems that integrate seamlessly into existing workflows.
We design and deploy robotic solutions that operate in harsh, real-world production environments — not labs or demos. Our work spans mechanical systems, robotics, software, and industrial automation, with a strong focus on robustness, simplicity, and deployability.
MESH is based in Switzerland, with in-house workshops and robot testing facilities. We work closely with partners across the construction and machinery ecosystem and regularly test our systems in production and on-site environments. We value close collaboration and hands-on engineering and primarily work on-site with our hardware.
About the Role
We are looking for highly motivated interns to join our engineering team. You'll be exposed to real-world engineering challenges from day one, working directly on features and developments that translate into our products — not side projects or simulations. Depending on your background and interests, your work can lean more mechanical, more automation/controls, or more robotics.
You'll work closely with our engineers in our workshop and testing facilities, seeing your designs and code go from concept to deployment on real machines operating in demanding production environments.
Tasks
What You Could Work On
Designing and iterating on mechanical components and subsystems for robotic machines
Building and testing electro-mechanical assemblies and fixtures
Developing and tuning automation/control logic (PLC, motion control, sensors, actuators)
Supporting robotics integration — kinematics, end-effectors, perception, or motion planning
Debugging and improving system robustness based on real-world testing and field data
Contributing to test rigs, prototypes, and documentation for our production systems
Requirements
What We're Looking For
Currently pursuing a degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Automation, Robotics, or a related field
Strong hands-on instinct — comfortable in a workshop, prototyping, and iterating quickly
Solid fundamentals in mechanical design (CAD), and/or controls, and/or robotics, depending on focus area
Practical, pragmatic problem-solving mindset — you like building things that actually work outside the lab
Ability to work independently while collaborating closely with a small, fast-moving team
Fluent in English; German is a plus
Available to work on-site in Switzerland
What We Offer
Ownership of features and developments that interface with out existing products
Hands-on experience with robotics and automation systems in real production and on-site environments
Close collaboration with experienced engineers across mechanical, robotics, and software disciplines
Access to our in-house workshops and robot testing facilities
A front-row seat to building industrial-grade automation for an industry that badly needs it
Applicants must be legally authorized to work in Switzerland or be eligible to obtain the required Swiss work authorization without employer-sponsored visa support.
