About the role
As an Autonomy & Robotics Engineering Intern, you will work alongside a team of skilled engineers to support the development of autonomous behaviors, machine perception, and robotic control systems for unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and other advanced platforms. You’ll gain experience in algorithm development, simulation, and integration on real hardware in a fast-paced, collaborative R&D environment. This internship provides a hands-on opportunity to apply your academic knowledge to cutting-edge autonomy applications, with mentorship and support from senior engineers.
What you'll bring
- In order to comply with the requirements of the ITAR and/or the EAR, applicants will be asked to provide specific documentation to verify U.S. person status under the ITAR and the EAR.
- See 22 CFR § 120.15.
- Some positions will require current U.S. Citizenship due to contract requirements.
- Experience with Robot Operating System (ROS)
- Vision-based perception (e.g., feature tracking, template matching, visual odometry)
- Trajectory planning, GNC algorithms, or control systems
- Embedded systems or low size, weight, and power (SWaP) devices
- Exposure to simulation tools, real-time systems, or experimental robotics
- Involvement in robotics competitions, clubs, or research projects
- Team-oriented mindset with strong collaboration skills
- Comfortable asking questions and taking initiative to solve problems
- Thrives in a dynamic, deadline-driven R&D environment
