Engineering Intern
OpenMind, San Francisco
The role
THIS IS A HANDS-ON INTERNSHIP FOR AN ENGINEERING STUDENT WHO WANTS THEIR WORK TO SHIP ON REAL ROBOTS HEADED TO REAL CUSTOMERS, NOT A CLASS PROJECT THAT ENDS AT THE DEMO. THE ENGINEERING WORK AT OPENMIND CENTERS ON A VARIETY OF TASKS ACROSS ROBOTICS AND SOFTWARE: INTEGRATING NEW ROBOT PLATFORMS INTO OUR STACK AND EXPANDING WHAT THAT STACK CAN DO. YOU WILL WORK DIRECTLY ALONGSIDE OUR ROBOTICS AND DEPLOYMENT ENGINEERS, AND INTERNS AT OPENMIND ARE TREATED AS ENGINEERS: YOU WILL OWN TASKS END TO END, YOUR WORK WILL SHIP, AND YOU WILL SEE IT RUNNING IN THE FIELD.
The scope is deliberately broad. Depending on your interests and strengths, you might work on data collection infrastructure, internal tools and UI, reinforcement learning experiments, SLAM and navigation, or the integration and testing that brings a new robot platform online.
What you will do
- Integrate new robot platforms into our software stack: SDK integration, sensor configuration, calibration, and validation
- Build and extend data collection infrastructure and pipelines for our robot fleet
