Software Engineering Internship

ANYbotics is a fast-growing tech company dedicated to shaping the future of mobile robotics across multiple industries. Join our highly talented and motivated team of more than 190 people and work on cutting‑edge robot technology. We are open to internships all year round and post regularly.

We’re always looking for passionate, curious, and motivated interns to join our mission.

This is your chance to collaborate with world‑class experts, gain real‑world experience, and make meaningful contributions in a fast‑paced, interdisciplinary environment.

We are looking for a 6‑month intern to join our Spatial Intelligence (Perception) team and help shape how our robots perceive and interact with complex environments. In this role, your primary focus will be driving the evaluation, benchmarking, and integration of next‑generation sensor technologies. You will play a key role in evolving our sensing stack, developing and integrating robust drivers in ROS2, and bridging the gap between hardware and software.

This is a highly hands‑on opportunity where you won’t just sit behind a screen; you will actively transition from writing clean code to building your own prototypes, handling the physical wiring, and testing your configurations in our local facilities. Alongside your core sensor initiative, you will assist the team with on‑demand technical challenges, gaining broad exposure to a production‑grade robotics pipeline.

You will work closely with experienced robotics experts who will provide dedicated guidance and mentorship throughout your journey. The preferred starting date is July or August 2026, and this full‑time, paid internship lasts for six months.

ANYbotics transforms industrial plants in the energy, process, and utility sector by introducing robotics to a wide range of novel applications that so far were beyond reach. Our customers are large asset operators and industrial service providers pioneering the use of robotics technology for inspection and maintenance. Our mobile robot ANYmal uses legs for extreme mobility in complex environments, camera‑ and LIDAR‑based sensing for full autonomy and obstacle avoidance, and AI for high‑quality and consistent inspection results.

We develop numerous customized hardware systems, including the entire robotic platform, actuators, sensors, inspection payloads, charging systems, and all related ANYbotics electrical hardware.

• Drive the evaluation, benchmarking, and testing of state‑of‑the‑art sensors (including vision, 3D/LiDAR, and acoustic technologies).
• Develop and integrate robust sensor drivers and communication interfaces within our ROS2 environment.
• Deploy, test, and validate your software and hardware integrations directly on our physical robotic platforms in local testing facilities.
• Analyze, troubleshoot, and improve our current sensing stack to enhance data quality, reliability, and pipeline efficiency.
• Collaborate closely with other perception engineers, assisting with ad‑hoc, on‑demand technical tasks and contributing to daily problem‑solving.

• Currently pursuing or recently completed a degree (Bachelor’s, Master’s, or Ph.D.) in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical/Mechanical Engineering, or a closely related field.
• Solid programming proficiency in C++ (including CMake) and/or Python.
• A proactive, hands‑on mentality—you enjoy getting away from the screen to wire up sensors, debug hardware, and see your code run on physical robots.
• Practical, hands‑on experience working with ROS2 and a foundational understanding of robotic perception pipelines.
• Highly self‑coordinated and structured, with the ability to drive an independent project forward while maintaining open, proactive communication with the team.
• Fluent in English (written and spoken).

• Experience configuring or processing data from specific sensor modalities (e.g., depth cameras, LiDAR, ultrasonic, or acoustic sensors).
• Familiarity with containerization and deployment tools like Git and Docker.
• Prior experience with hardware communication protocols (Ethernet, GMSL, Serial, CAN, etc.).
• Experience with practical hardware…
