Key job responsibilities

Job Description

As a SLAM Intern, you will join our team to advance the localization and mapping capabilities of our last-mile delivery robot. Your work will directly shape how our robot perceives and navigates complex urban environments from benchmarking existing approaches to prototyping novel algorithms and validating them on hardware. This role offers hands-on experience in spatial perception, algorithm development, and real-world deployment within a dynamic and collaborative environment.

We are committed to finding and nurturing exceptional talent; our internships are a key pathway to recruiting outstanding graduates who can make a significant impact in our team.

Important Notice

For this position, we are only able to accept applications from citizens of Schengen Area countries. This restriction does not apply to ETHZ and EPFL students who are required to complete compulsory internships as part of their studies.

What you'll be doing

Work closely with senior engineers to integrate SLAM modules with hardware components and contribute ideas to enhance system robustness and accuracy.

Support the team in benchmarking, evaluating, and developing novel state-of-the-art localization and mapping algorithms for robotic applications.

Engage in continuous learning and gain exposure to recent developments from the SLAM and computer vision literature.

A day in the life

As a Specialised Software Development Engineer, you'll immerse yourself in challenging projects that push the boundaries of technology.

Your day might involve fine-tuning perception algorithms for drone navigation, developing simulation scenarios to test edge cases in warehouse robotics, or collaborating with and learning from hardware engineers to optimize software for new sensor configurations.

You'll work closely with as well as learn from roboticists, ML scientists, and systems engineers to solve complex challenges in autonomy and participate in design reviews for new robotic features.
