Product Management Internship, Human-Robot Interaction
THE TEAM
Born from X, the moonshot factory, and working alongside teams at Google, we’re building a new type of robot. One that can learn by itself, to help anyone with (almost) anything. With one foot in today, and the other in tomorrow, we seek to turn the helper robots of science fiction novels into reality. Doing this requires taking on the hardest problems in robotics. All so we can work towards a future where helper robots are a part of a better everyday, for everyone.
We know that no company, no moonshot, no wild idea is greater than the efforts of the people behind it. Our team is thoughtful, driven and deliberately diverse, working together in a creative and collaborative environment, where everyone’s perspectives and expertise is valued.
We’re looking for an HRI PRODUCT MANAGEMENT INTERN FOR SUMMER 2023 that will bring their creative experience and unique perspective to the way our robots interact with humans.

Born from X, the moonshot factory, and working alongside teams at Google, we’re building a new type of robot. One that can learn by itself, to help anyone with (almost) anything.
Our vision is to build robots that will be as transformative to the physical world, as our computers are in the digital world.
But to get there, we first need to take on the hardest problem in robotics — building robots that can learn how to help us with just about anything.
