• Work in an international, agile team building autonomousroboticsystems
• Contribute to software thatistested on real robotic platforms and in the field
• Gain hands-on experiencewith state-of-the-art technologies in robotics, autonomy, and multi-agent systems
• Work closelywithexperiencedrobotics and embeddedengineers
• Take ownership of meaningfultechnicalprojectswhilereceiving guidance from the team
• Benefitfrom a steeplearningcurve and a collaborative engineering culture

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

• 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

You do not need to bring all of these — experience from university projects, research, student teams, personal projects, or previous internships counts. 

• Experiencewith ROS or ROS 2
• Experiencewith real robots, embeddedsystems, or hardware-in-the-loop setups
• Exposure to SLAM, navigation, computer vision, estimation, filtering, planning, or control
• Interest or experience in multi-agent systems, swarming, or distributedrobotics
• ExperienceworkingwithLiDAR or camera data
• Exposure to PX4 or ArduPilot
• Experiencewith simulation frameworkssuch as Gazebo, Isaac Sim, or Unreal Engine
• Experiencewithembedded platforms, GPUs, or networking
• Exposure to machine learningmethods

• Strong problem-solvingmindset and willingness to learn
• Structured and reliable way of working
• Comfortableworking in an environmentwhere not everyproblem has a predefined solution
• Collaborative and open to technical feedback
• High ethical standards and disciplinedworkethic
• Extra-curricular engineering projects, roboticscompetitions, research, or othertechnicalachievements are a plus
