Robotics Embedded Systems Intern

Robot.com is looking for a Robotics Embedded Systems Intern to join our Autonomy Department. This is a chance to work on real-world robotics challenges where your technical curiosity, creativity, and problem-solving skills will have a direct impact. From DAY 1, you'll take on meaningful responsibilities and contribute to projects that advance our delivery robots' capabilities.

Common Skills We're Looking For
  • Programming: Python (Medium/High), C++ (Medium/High), ROS/ROS2 (Low/Medium/High).
  • Tools & DevOps: Docker (Low/Medium), Git (High), experience with development environments, good documentation and coding practices. Hardware & APIs: Previous integration of APIs and sensors (2D/3D LiDARs, Stereo Cameras, IMU, GPS/RTK, regular cameras).
  • Embedded Systems: ARM architectures, IoT platforms/services, firmware management, OTA updates. Debugging & Maintenance: Bug tracking, troubleshooting, and solving integration issues. Chill if you don't check every box—you'll learn as you grow with us.
What You'll Do as a Robotics Embedded Systems Engineer
  • Develop & Maintain Software: Design, test, and refine software for robotics and AI applications.
  • Integrate Systems: Connect software, embedded hardware, and data pipelines into unified robotic solutions. Optimize Performance: Tune algorithms and improve system efficiency.
  • Debug & Solve Issues: From firmware bugs to hardware malfunctions.
  • Manage Releases: Handle firmware, OS, dependencies, and over-the-air updates for robot fleets.
  • Hardware Integration: Work with communication protocols for sensors, actuators, and robot boards.
  • Firmware & Containers: Maintain embedded firmware, manage containers, and support CI pipelines. Documentation & Security: Keep detailed documentation and follow best practices for privacy and security.
About the Team

At Robot.com, we believe robotics will play a key role in solving the last-mile delivery problem. Our Autonomy team is developing control, perception, vision, and analysis systems to make delivery faster, safer, and more reliable.

The Role

You'll collaborate with roboticists, hardware engineers, IT software developers, and ML experts to ensure system requirements are met. Your work will involve:

  • Design analysis and system characterization.
  • Controller design and system integration.

Running test programs to deliver robust, scalable, and high-performing robots.
