Systems & Control Intern (6-Months)

Mission:

Our Performance Engineering team plays a key role in optimizing the performance of our industrial indoor drone system, working across disciplines to enhance scanning efficiency in warehouse environments. By analyzing various system components - such as path planning, charging cycles, and data acquisition - our team identifies opportunities for improvement, helps define development priorities, and drives efforts to increase the rate at which our drones scan inventory.

Your Role:

• Extend and improve our simulation test pipeline for continuous monitoring of the drone performance
• Contribute to the design, implementation, and refinement of modeling, simulation, and data analysis tools that help predict and monitor drone performance
• Identify and implement new features in our simulation software, visualize and analyze the output data, and compare to existing mathematical models
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams and challenge existing assumptions and processes
• Gain a deep understanding of complex robotic systems while developing practical skills in data science and software engineering alongside a team of dedicated engineers.

Your Experience:

• Degree (BSc) in robotics, mechanical engineering, computer science, or relevant field
• Strong academic record and demonstrated ability to convert theory into practice
• Practical knowledge of Python (additional plus: knowledge of C++ and experience with Git)
• Deep understanding of system modeling and control is highly desired
• Experience with graphically representing complex data (creating plots, diagrams, schematics, …)
• Fluent in English, both written and spoken

Who You Are:

We are looking for a team player who is also capable of working autonomously, with excellent interpersonal and communication skills. You have analytical thinking, a creative approach to problem-solving, and a desire to understand complex systems. Your working method is structured and results-oriented, and you are curious and eager to leave your comfort zone to learn something new.
