WestmagEngineering Intern (Jan 2027)
South San Francisco · Internship
Why join Westmag?
Every drone has four motors and every robot has tens of actuators, so the makers of both could come to rely on an American supplier. Westmag, a South San Francisco motor maker, raised an $11M Seed in June led by Andreessen Horowitz and Menlo Ventures, bigger than most seeds at its stage. All 16 open roles are new in 30 days, eight in engineering, so the team is still forming.
