Stanford undergraduate / Class of 2029
I’m Marcus Albrecht, a Stanford undergraduate. My work focuses on mechanical design, prototyping, and fabrication, from adjustable mechanisms to complete electromechanical builds.
Seeking summer 2027 internships
01 / Selected work
Three original builds documenting the design process, fabrication, integration, and testing.
Independent personal project
A 1.5 m wingspan aircraft designed and fabricated from scratch, integrating propulsion, radio control, and four servos into an approximately 400 g airframe.

Stanford Product Realization Labs
A scissor-lift desk lamp with adjustable height, a swiveling head, and spotlight-to-floodlight beam control.
Independent personal project
A functional rowing ergometer built from timber, repurposed bicycle components, and readily available hardware for approximately €150.
Kit-based robotics and Stanford workshop builds
04 / Kit-based robotics
Assembled and programmed an Adeept robotic arm, configured servo controls, and tested coordinated movement across five degrees of freedom.
My work focused on assembly, servo configuration, and coordinated motion using the kit’s mechanism and electronics. The underlying robot design is Adeept’s.
05 / Kit-based robotics
Assembled an ELEGOO Smart Robot Car Kit V4.0, an Arduino-based educational robot combining a wheeled chassis, electronic modules, sensors, and a camera.
This is a kit-based assembly project using ELEGOO’s design. The manufacturer’s platform includes obstacle-avoidance and line-tracking modules, remote-control options, and supplied example code.

02 / Industry experience
At Xcelsitas AG, I worked from hospital end-user feedback to practical design concepts — looking for low-cost ways to address medical-device and equipment issues without unnecessary complexity.
Product Development & Design Intern
August 2026 – present
Identified design issues affecting clinical workflows through feedback from hospital end-users and documented cable- and equipment-related problems.
Distinguished product and material defects from damage caused by operational wear, then developed low-cost design concepts with part specifications, sketches, and visualizations.
Designed and 3D-printed functional prototypes and presented concepts and recommendations to the OEM supplier for further development.
Internship work is summarized at a high level. Internal device drawings and supplier-specific information are not included here.
03 / Background
I’m a Stanford undergraduate with an intended major in Mechanical Engineering. My projects span mechanical design, prototyping, fabrication, and electromechanical assembly.
I row for Stanford and am a five-time German national champion. I represented Germany at the 2024 World Rowing U19 Championships, winning bronze in the men’s eight.
