Retrofit a low‑speed campus EV’s pedals and steering column with commercial linear actuators and a worm‑gear DC motor; produce CAD brackets and wiring harnesses.
Companion project
This hardware role runs alongside a Control‑Software internship (see “Autonomous Vehicle Retrofit – Software” on Riipen). If you’d like to pair up with a software‑focused learner, please note it in your cover letter.
Key tasks
- Select actuators and motor.
- Compare COTS vs. custom hardware ROI.
- Coordinate sensor pin‑outs with software intern.
- Fit brackets to vehicle chassis and test.
Desired outcomes
- Describe linear and worm‑gear actuators in autonomous vehicles.
- Generate STEP/STL files for 3‑D‑printable brackets.
- Build an ESP32 DAC/PWM throttle emulator (0–5 V).
- Validate actuator stroke/torque; deliver BOM ≤ CA $200.
- Provide install photos and a 2‑minute demo video.
Deliverables
- Hardware kit (CAD, wiring, BOM).
- 5–7‑slide executive deck on install & torque data.

À propos de l'entreprise
At Telebotics, we're on a mission to transform urban logistics through autonomous technology that addresses the industry's most pressing challenges.
THE PROBLEM
The final mile of delivery represents over 50% of total logistics costs, while driver shortages and urban congestion continue to worsen. Meanwhile, emissions regulations are pushing companies toward sustainable solutions.
OUR SOLUTION
We equip existing electric vehicles with modular autonomy kits that scale from remote assistance to full autonomy, enabling businesses to adapt at their own pace while dramatically reducing delivery costs and environmental impact.
OUR VISION
A future where autonomous delivery vehicles seamlessly navigate urban environments, making cities more livable, commerce more efficient, and transportation more sustainable.
