Robust AI is looking for a hands-on intern to support the testing and validation of mobile robotic systems. This role focuses on executing experiments—both in simulation and on real robots—to verify system behavior under real-world constraints. You'll contribute to evaluating how navigation, perception, and control systems perform under varying conditions, and help report findings that shape future development.
Requirements
- Proficiency in Python or C++, especially for scripting and data analysis.
- Familiarity with Linux-based development and testing environments.
- Comfort with robotics experimentation and troubleshooting in resource-constrained and real-time systems.
- Experience with ROS1 or ROS2, rviz, and associated developer tools.
- Exposure to Docker and containerized workflows.
- Familiarity with robotics simulators (e.g., Gazebo, Isaac Sim).
- Exposure to cloud or CI tooling (e.g., GitLab runners, AWS, GCP) for experiment execution and test data storage.
Responsibilities
- Assist in debugging issues encountered during testing across the autonomy stack (e.g. navigation, controls, perception).
- Collect and process log data to assess system behavior and reliability.
- Conduct statistical analyses and summarize results in clear, well-written reports.
- Develop and execute experiments—both in simulation and on physical robots—including failure case reproduction, performance benchmarking, and validation scenario authoring.
- Execute test plans developed by engineering and product teams for system-level validation.
Other
- Strong communication skills and attention to detail, especially in technical writing and documentation.
