About the Role
Skydio is seeking a Frontend Software Engineer Intern to join the Remote Flight Deck (RFD) Platform team. This role involves building the browser-based piloting experience that public safety, critical infrastructure, and enterprise customers rely on for drone operations. As an intern, you will ship production features and have the opportunity to contribute to areas beyond the frontend.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and implement pilot-facing features to enhance operator decision-making during drone flights.
- Apply curiosity, technical skill, and a collaborative approach to contribute to Skydio's mission.
- Collaborate with product managers, designers, and engineers to deliver high-quality features.
Project examples include:
- Enhancing the multi-cockpit view for simultaneous drone pilot management.
- Implementing camera controls such as click-to-focus.
- Adding map layers, like live flight-path breadcrumbs.
- Rendering Augmented Reality (AR) bounds for subject tracking and drone following.
Requirements & Tech Stack
- Solid software engineering foundation and a commitment to writing clean, well-architected code.
- Experience in modern web development with React, TypeScript, GraphQL, and WebGL/Three.js.
- Experience building and maintaining scalable APIs, services, and integrations for handling large datasets.
- Familiarity with robotics software development concepts is a bonus.
Qualifications
- Junior, senior, or MS-level student with meaningful project or internship experience developing modern web applications that connect to backend APIs and data systems.
- Obtaining FAA Part 107 certification within the first 60 days of employment is strongly encouraged for all Skydio employees and required for certain positions.
