Software Engineer, Robot Autonomy, Intern

Our Mission

At Laelaps AI, we believe robotics is entering a transformative decade, much like the arrival of the internet.

Advances in AI, cloud computing, and hardware are reshaping what autonomous systems can do.

Our mission is to build the intelligent software that powers physical security in the real world - enabling robots and sensors to handle dangerous and critical tasks that humans shouldn't have to.

By engineering the orchestration layer for intelligent security, we aim to create a world that is safer, more secure, and more resilient.

We're a strong founding team based in Zurich, backed by visionary investors and advisors. We are engineering the future of security today!

The Role

As a Software Engineer intern on Robot Autonomy, you'll work on the software that runs on our legged security robots: how they perceive their surroundings, know where they are, and move through real customer sites on patrol.

You'll join the team that owns everything on the robot and take a well-scoped problem from first experiment to a result that runs on hardware.

The role focuses on building software for the robot autonomy stack that runs in the field. We'll agree your focus area with you during the interview process, based on your strengths and the team's priorities, and we expect you to own it from day one.

This role is hands-on. You'll work with real sensor data and field logs, test on physical robots, and see first-hand why a robot that works in the lab can still fail on a live site at night, in rain, or after the layout changes.

What You'll Work On

Who We're Looking For

We're looking for a strong robotics student who wants to see their work run on real robots, not only in simulation.

You don't need every item below, but you should meet the core requirements and bring depth in at least one area of the autonomy stack.

You'll join a small team that moves fast, expects ownership, and holds work to the standard of running on live customer sites.

Nice to Have
