Robotics Intern

About the Role

We are looking for a hands-on Robotics Intern who wants to learn how real robot systems are built, integrated, and tested, working alongside our senior engineers on live robotics and automation programs. This internship is suited for a student or early-career engineer who has built small robotics projects, is comfortable writing code on Linux, and wants to see their work run on real or simulated robots.

Key Responsibilities

• Developing ROS 2 nodes, launch files, and configuration for robot software stacks.
• Integrating sensors such as cameras, LiDARs, IMUs, and encoders, and checking their data.
• Writing Python or C++ utilities, test scripts, and small tools for the engineering team.
• Running tests on real robots and in simulation, and recording outcomes.
• Robot bring-up support: performing wiring checks, calibration steps, and parameter tuning under guidance.
• Logging, rosbag recording, data visualization, and basic debugging of robot behaviour.
• Documenting setups, procedures, and test results.
• Working closely with senior engineers, taking ownership of tasks, reproducing issues, and reporting clear findings.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Working knowledge of Python or C++.
• Comfort with Linux, the terminal, and Git.
• Basic understanding of ROS or ROS 2 concepts such as nodes, topics, services, and TF.
• Familiarity with coordinate frames and basic robot kinematics at a coursework level.
• At least one robotics, embedded, or automation project that can be explained in detail.
• Willingness to work on hardware, follow test procedures, and debug patiently.
• Clear written communication for reporting progress and issues.

Good to have

• Robot software: ROS 2, MoveIt 2, Nav2, RViz.
• Simulation: Gazebo, NVIDIA Isaac Sim, Webots.
• Hardware and embedded: Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, Jetson, serial / CAN interfaces.
• Perception basics: OpenCV, depth cameras, AprilTag / ArUco markers.
• Participation in robotics competitions, student robotics teams, or open-source robotics projects.

Qualifications

• You should be comfortable picking up a defined task, learning the tools it needs, testing it on a robot, and reporting honestly on the result.
• Ability to learn quickly.
• Not afraid of hardware.
• Desire to grow into an engineer who can bring a robot system up end-to-end.
• This is an internship position.
