Robotics RnD Internship

We are seeking a Master’s-level intern to contribute to several advanced initiatives in robotics, embedded systems, and automation. The intern will work closely with engineers and researchers in the fields of mechatronics and control systems to design, develop, and validate real-world robotic components and applications.

Potential Projects for internships:

Develop graphical user interfaces (GUIs) in the Rust programming language to support robotics control and data visualisation.

Develop and test algorithms for robot perception, planning, and control to improve indoor navigation and inspection capabilities.

Design and test electronic printed circuit boards (PCBs) for the indoor inspection drone, including component selection and validation.

Design and prototype mechanical parts for drone structures and payload mechanisms, ensuring stability and performance.

Design and implement dedicated drone testing and calibration benches to evaluate flight behaviour, sensor accuracy, and system reliability.

Required Qualification

Currently pursuing or recently completed a Master’s degree in Robotics, Mechatronics, Computer Engineering, Electronics, or a related field.

Qualifications Linked to the Project

Proficiency in Rust, Python, or C++ for system and interface development or

Knowledge of robotics fundamentals (kinematics, dynamics, control systems) or

Experience in PCB design and testing (e.g., Altium, KiCad, or similar tools) or

Familiarity with mechanical design tools (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, or equivalent) or

Understanding of embedded systems and sensor integration for drones or

Strong problem-solving skills, creativity, and ability to work in a multidisciplinary R\&D environment

Welcome to Flybotix, where innovation meets safety and efficiency. We believe that indoor inspections should be safe and cost-effective. We're dedicated to minimizing human exposure to hazardous environments while boosting efficiency. With our ASIO drone and software, we've transformed confined space inspections. ASIO allows for over 20 minutes of visual inspection in the field, keeping humans out of harm's way. We've doubled the flight time compared to our closest competitor, replacing complex helicopter mechanisms with innovative technology. We serve a range of industries globally, including sewer management, hydro power plants, oil \& gas, maritime, and chemical plants. Our ASIO drone offers unmatched flight time, making your inspections efficient and reliable. Join us in revolutionizing the future of industrial inspections, prioritizing safety and efficiency!

We are a passionate, ambitious, and respectful team, where our impact counts. We work hard and know each other beyond first names. We create and succeed whilst working mostly in our office based close to Lausanne. We grow and look forward to having more amazing people!
