Role summary
Seeking a Software Engineering Intern to work hands-on with autonomous robots in warehouse environments. The intern will contribute directly to the production codebase using C++ and Python, tackle projects for new features, and build/test software for real robots. Requires a strong grasp of C++, Python, Linux command-line experience, and an interest in hardware interaction. Experience with Git is essential. Preferred skills include ROS2, Docker, computer vision, autonomous navigation, motion planning, or control systems.
We’re looking for an intern to work hands-on with our robots. We deploy these robots autonomously in warehouses so there is a lot on the stack of things to get them working flawless. If you’re interested in autonomous navigation, motion planning, or control systems, please feel free to apply.
**What you’ll do:**
* Contribute directly to our production codebase in C++ and Python.
* Contribute fresh ideas and implementations.
* Tackle projects that will directly help our team implement a new or improved feature
* Build and test software for real robots!
**Qualifications/Requirements**
* Currently pursuing a degree or recent grad in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
* Strong grasp of C++ and Python.
* Linux experience, comfortable working in a command-line environment (you know your way around Ubuntu).
* You have an interest in how software interacts with physical hardware (sensors, motors, or embedded boards like Raspberry Pi/Jetson).
* Experience with Git contributions and Git best practices in a team environment
**Nice To Haves**
* Experience with ROS2
* Experience using Docker
* Past projects in computer vision, autonomous navigation, motion planning, or other robotics-related domains
**What makes you an ideal fit**
* Contribute ideas and work with autonomy when on projects
* Tenacity and desire to tackle problems others may see as ‘too difficult’
* Creative problem solving
* Passion for engineering
### **About the interview**
There’ll be 2-3 interviews discussing your skills and past projects. The final interview will consist of administrative and logistics details around hiring.
