Autonomous Vehicle Field Engineering Internship

Join Our Autonomous Vehicle Revolution

We're transforming last-mile delivery with autonomous electric vehicles, designed to thrive in urban environments. Our team of engineers, researchers, and vehicle specialists is taking autonomous vehicles from the test track to the real world, empowering businesses with a frictionless, around-the-clock delivery experience.

The Role: We're seeking a Field Engineering Intern to join our team for six months. This hybrid role combines on-road and closed-course testing with software and systems development, making it an ideal opportunity for an engineering student eager to blend time behind the wheel with real-world software work.

Responsibilities:

• Monitor autonomous vehicles during testing, acting as a trained safety driver.
• Follow and refine test protocols, safety procedures, and pre-drive checklists.
• Monitor vehicle behavior and system performance, documenting disengagements, edge cases, and anomalies.
• Collect, log, and annotate data from test drives to support autonomy and engineering teams.
• Develop, test, and maintain vehicle software and internal tools.
• Triage and reproduce issues, working with engineers to debug and resolve them.
• Support routine vehicle readiness tasks, such as sensor checks and diagnostics.
• Contribute to code reviews, documentation, and continuous improvement of field procedures.

Qualifications:

• Pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Robotics, Mechanical, Electrical, Computer, or Software Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field.
• Programming experience in Python and/or C++.
• Familiarity with Linux and version control (Git).
• Strong attention to detail, situational awareness, and calmness under pressure.
• Genuine interest in autonomous systems, robotics, or self-driving technology.

Nice to Have:

• Coursework or hands-on experience with robotics, ROS, control systems, or sensors.
• Experience building internal tools, scripting, or working with data-analysis pipelines.
• Familiarity with vehicle systems, embedded software, or CAN bus.

What You'll Gain:

• Direct, hands-on experience driving and supporting real autonomous vehicles.
• Mentorship from experienced engineers and exposure to the full autonomy stack.
• The chance to see your software and process improvements used daily by the team.
