Job Description:

Boston Dynamics is seeking a passionate and driven Robotics Software Intern to join the Spot Autonomy team. You'll take on a research-to-production project advised by our autonomy engineers that allows you to test your results on our fleet of in-house robots. Your work will focus on scaling data capabilities and prototyping next-generation features that enhance how Spot explores and understands its environment. This internship demands a passion for robotics, a strong problem-solving aptitude, and a desire to learn in a dynamic, collaborative environment.

Job Responsibility:

  • ML-based Robot Navigation: Contribute to the research and development of modern robot autonomy approaches (and the necessary tooling), such as end-to-end navigation policies, or traditional SLAM + ML hybrid approaches
  • Simulation Development: Build out simulation capabilities, including diverse environments and dynamic animations, to improve sim-to-real reliability
  • Autonomy Prototyping: Develop and implement prototype features for next-gen autonomy, such as autonomous exploration
  • Hardware Validation: Conduct thorough testing and debugging of designs using our in-house robot fleet in real-world environments

Requirements:

  • Actively pursuing a PhD or research-based Master’s degree in Robotics, Computer Science, or a related field
  • Strong proficiency in C++ and/or Python
  • Familiarity with navigation fundamentals (Path Planning, SLAM) and/or Reinforcement Learning and/or LLM/VLM/VLA models
  • Experience with machine learning frameworks such as PyTorch or TensorFlow

Nice to have:

  • Experience with robotics simulation environments (e.g., Isaac Sim, MuJoCo, Gazebo)
  • Experience working directly with robot hardware
  • Proven track record of implementing autonomous mapping or exploration algorithms
