Marketing Intern

DeepAware (Silicon Valley Robotics Center) builds the full stack for physical AI — spanning hardware, data, and training.

We source and ship robots and robotics parts across the US within 72 hours: humanoid robots, quadrupeds, robotic arms, tactile sensors, cameras, and dexterous hands. Beyond hardware, we help enterprises collect teleoperation data, build reinforcement learning environments, and deploy robots into production.

Our early customers include AI data centers, industrial operations, research labs, and event producers. We're solving real problems at the intersection of AI, robotics, and supply chain — and we're moving fast.

If you're excited about building the physical automation layer for the AI era, and want to work across software, hardware, and real-world deployment — you'll fit right in at DeepAware.

About us

Robotics Center of Silicon Valley is the full-stack robotics supply chain — hardware, data, AI training, and live deployment under one roof. Backed by Y Combinator (S25) and NVIDIA Inception, our San Francisco lab puts 60+ robot platforms within reach and powers one of the largest real-robot datasets anywhere. We're building the infrastructure layer for physical AI.

About the role

We're looking for a Marketing Intern to build and scale the marketing engine of a fast-growing robotics company from the ground up. You'll work directly with leadership across everything it takes to grow our brand and community — content, social media, events, and campaigns — and shape how the world sees a YC-backed robotics startup. This is a hands-on role with real ownership from day one.

What you'll do

• Create content across LinkedIn, X, YouTube, TikTok, and our blog — from robot demo videos to product launches
• Grow and engage our community of robotics researchers, founders, and AI engineers
• Plan and promote culture and community events, including our monthly community meetups
• Support product marketing — website copy, launch announcements, and go-to-market campaigns for new robots and datasets
• Track marketing performance and turn the data into what we do next
• Build and document marketing processes and brand guidelines as we scale

What we're looking for

• Strong writing and communication skills, with an eye for what makes content land
• A proactive, "post it and learn from it" mindset
• Comfort juggling multiple workstreams and shifting priorities in a fast-paced environment
• Genuine interest in startups, robotics, or AI is a plus; familiarity with short-form video or design tools (CapCut, Figma, Canva) is a bonus
• Able to work on-site in San Francisco

Why join us

You'll shape how a YC-backed robotics company tells its story to the world, work alongside engineers and researchers building real robots, and gain broad marketing experience across content, community, and events that you can't get at a big company. As one of our early marketing hires, you'll have real ownership and a direct line to leadership.

DeepAware (Silicon Valley Robotics Center) operates across three layers of the robotics stack:

Hardware supply chain. We source robots and parts from leading global manufacturers (Unitree, Deep Robotics, Paxini, Intel Realsense, OpenArm, and more) and run a fast-turn inventory and logistics operation — getting any SKU into US customers' hands within 72 hours.

Data and training. We build teleoperation data collection pipelines, simulation environments in Isaac Gym / MuJoCo, and reinforcement learning policies for manipulation and locomotion. Much of this lives at the sim-to-real boundary, which is where most of the hard engineering is.

Deployment. We integrate robots into real-world environments — AI data centers (cable management, inspection, thermal monitoring), industrial floors (quality inspection, material handling), and live events (interactive humanoid demos with scripted interaction flows).

Our stack includes Python, ROS2, PyTorch, Isaac Sim/Lab, custom teleoperation rigs, and integrations with inventory/logistics systems. We're a small, fast-moving team that ships.
