Robotics Firmware Intern - Drone Platform & Systems

Join the Wingtra team and become part of this venture-backed robotics scaleup with a global and international team of 125+ dedicated Wingtranauts who want to see their actions have a positive and lasting impact on the world. Founded more than 8 years ago at ETH Zurich, Europe’s leading robotics university, our goal is to build the best aerial robots to digitize the world at the push of a button and set the basis for faster and better decisions. Wingtra provides efficient and reliable data solutions to a variety of industries ranging from mining, construction and agriculture to humanitarian organizations, environmentalists and wildlife monitoring groups.

We are reaching for the stars and together we might just get there. Open communication, asking hard questions and valuing diverse viewpoints are but a few things that will help us achieve our goals. Above all we will never stop learning and striving to help each other reach our maximum potential.

During your internship at Wingtra, you will be fully onboarded into the highly cross-functional team that developed the WingtraRAY drone from the ground up. You will get the opportunity to solve real-world applied robotics problems in a hands-on approach across the full development cycle. 

Your solutions will be used by customers operating in challenging environments worldwide. Beyond the technical work, you will take part in the daily life of the team, including technical discussions, flight-test preparation, reviews, feedback sessions and team events. We want to support your growth in a professional engineering environment that goes beyond the purely technical domain.

This role focuses on the drone platform software layer: system integration, embedded services, diagnostics, payload and component communication, validation and testing. It is distinct from our guidance, navigation and control internships, which focus on flight-control algorithm development.

The earliest starting date is August/September and duration will be 5 to 6 months or longer - applications for later in the year cannot be given priority. Thank you for understanding. 

Important: Due to holidays until 1st of July, expect delayed answers.
