Quality Control Intern

Trexo Robotics is enabling mobility by building powered wearable robots. Our first product is a robot for children with movement disorders such as Cerebral Palsy, and it allows kids to walk, in many cases, for the first time in their lives. The device is currently being used by hundreds of families and the best hospitals across North America.

We are constantly working towards building mobility solutions for all. At Trexo Robotics, you will find a flat organization where you can work with highly optimistic, low ego, and exceptionally talented individuals who look forward to solving hard problems.

We are looking for a Quality Control Intern to support our Quality and Manufacturing teams. You'll be hands-on with incoming inspection, in-process checks, device testing, documentation, and continuous improvement activities. This role is ideal for someone who likes precision, enjoys working with physical products, and wants real exposure to regulated product development (medical/assistive devices) in a robotics startup environment. While we prefer students completing this internship as part of their co-op program, we also welcome recent graduates looking to gain their first hands-on experience in quality control.

You'll work closely with Quality, Manufacturing, Engineering, and Operations teams to ensure products meet Trexo's high standards before reaching families.
