About Us
- We are building autonomous vehicles for last mile delivery. Our autonomous electric vehicles are engineered to thrive in complex urban environments.
The Role
- We're looking for a Field Engineering Intern to join our autonomous vehicle team for six months. This is a hybrid role: monitoring vehicles during testing and developing software/tooling. Because this role involves physically driving and testing vehicles, it is an on site, full time position.
What You'll Do
- Monitor autonomous vehicles during testing, serving as a trained safety driver.
- Follow and help refine test protocols, safety procedures, and pre drive checklists.
- Monitor vehicle behavior and system performance; document disengagements, edge cases, and anomalies.
- Collect, log, and annotate data from test drives.
- Help develop, test, and maintain vehicle software and internal tools.
- Triage and reproduce issues; work with engineers to debug and resolve them.
- Support routine vehicle readiness tasks such as sensor checks, calibration, and basic diagnostics.

- Programming experience in Python and/or C++.
- Familiarity with Linux and version control (Git).
- Strong attention to detail, good situational awareness, and ability to stay calm under pressure.
- Genuine interest in autonomous systems, robotics, or self driving technology.
Nice to Have
- Coursework or hands on experience with robotics, ROS, control systems, or sensors (LiDAR, radar, cameras).
- Experience building internal tools, scripting, or working with data analysis pipelines.
- Familiarity with vehicle systems, embedded software, or CAN bus.
What You'll Gain
- Direct, hands on experience driving and supporting real autonomous vehicles.
- Mentorship from experienced engineers and exposure to the full autonomy stack.
- The chance to see your software and process improvements used daily by the team.
