Robotics Engineering Intern
Role
We are looking for a fast learning robotics engineering intern with a hands on attitude to help coordinate our growing fleet, test robots and support customer deployments.
We are looking for someone to start as soon as possible, ideally by December 1st, for at least 6 months.
Key Responsibilities
Investigate robot issues in the field, find the root cause and pinpoint which component is faulty.
Design and run robot tests, both factory acceptance tests and pre deployment tests.
Keep our robots running by using data analysis to find common failures and passing them to the development team.
Coordinate the release of new software features and deploy them to the robot fleet.
Background
Pursuing a BSc or MSc in robotics, mechanical engineering, computer science or equivalent.
Hands on experience with robotics, ideally involving both software and hardware.
Familiar with common robotics tools like Ubuntu, ROS, Python, shell, Docker, etc.
Multidisciplinary and not scared to get your hands dirty, whether replacing robot parts or learning new programming languages and tools.
Goal driven and independent: getting robots working properly is the top priority, and you can figure out how to do it.
Good English skills (C1 level).
Honest comments
You will learn a lot about robotics, infrastructure and testing in this role, but it is not a software development role. You will build tools to test and debug, but not core algorithms like navigation or perception.
You will have to handle chaotic situations with several robot issues at the same time.
If you think you don’t tick every box, don’t worry. We want someone who can learn fast and has the right attitude to make it work. So just give it a go. We reply to every application.
