- Work in an international, agile team buildingautonomous robotic systems
- Contribute to softwarethat is tested on realrobotic platforms and in thefield
- Gain hands-onexperience with state-of-the-art technologies inrobotics,autonomy, and multi-agentsystems
- Workcloselywithexperiencedrobotics andembeddedengineers
- Takeownership ofmeaningful technical projects while receiving guidancefrom theteam
- Benefit from asteep learning curve and a collaborative engineering culture
As a Software Engineering Intern, you will contribute to the development and validation of our multi-UAV system, with a particular focus on software tooling, simulation, and system observability.
Depending on your background and the project, you may also contribute to areas such as SLAM, navigation, perception, planning, or multi-agent coordination. This is a hands-on internship where you will develop and test software, work with real robotic systems, and see how your work performs beyond simulation.
- Develop data-driven dashboards andtools to monitor,analyze, andvisualize system performance
- Extend our simulationframework with KPIs,automated scenarios, andevaluation workflows
- Analyze simulation andfield-test data toidentify issues andopportunities forimprovement
- Contribute to thecore robotics stack in areassuch as estimation, perception, planning, control, or missionexecution
