- Take ownership of meaningfultechnicalprojectswhilereceiving guidance from the team
- Benefitfrom a steeplearningcurve and a collaborative engineering culture
Your mission
Join our robotics team working on autonomous systems that operate as coordinated, distributed agents in real-world environments.
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-drivendashboards and tools to monitor, analyze, and visualize system performance
- Extendour simulation frameworkwith KPIs, automated scenarios, and evaluation workflows
- Analyze simulation and field-test data to identify issues and opportunities for improvement
- Contribute to the corerobotics stack in areas such as estimation, perception, planning, control, or mission execution
- Collaboratecloselywithrobotics, simulation, embedded, and domain experts
- Gain practicalexperiencedeveloping and validating software for complexautonomoussystems
Your profile
- Currentlypursuing or recentlycompleted a Master'sdegree in Robotics, Computer Science, AutonomousSystems, Electrical Engineering, or a relatedfield
- Good programmingskills in C++, ideally modern C++ (17/20)
- Solid foundation in algorithms, data structures, and software engineering
- Basic understanding of robotics concepts such as coordinate frames, sensor data, estimation, planning, or control
- Comfortableworking in Linux
- Curious about complexroboticsystems and motivated to understand how thingsworkbeyondyourindividual component
- Able to workindependently on a definedtechnicalproblemwhileactivelyseeking feedback whenneeded
- Genuine interest in autonomoussystems, robotics, and defensetechnology
