Our Mission

At Laelaps AI, we believe robotics is entering a transformative decade, much like the arrival of the internet. Advances in AI, cloud computing, and hardware are reshaping what autonomous systems can do. Our mission is to build the intelligent software that powers physical security in the real world - enabling robots and sensors to handle dangerous and critical tasks that humans shouldn't have to. By engineering the orchestration layer for intelligent security, we aim to create a world that is safer, more secure, and more resilient.

We're a strong founding team based in Zurich, backed by visionary investors and advisors. We are engineering the future of security today!

The Role

As a Hardware Intern, you'll contribute to the mechanical, electrical, and electromechanical systems of our autonomous security platforms across ground, aerial, and stationary form factors. You'll get hands-on experience taking robotics hardware from concept to fielded systems, working alongside the Hardware Lead and the broader engineering team.

This role is highly practical: you'll help with CAD work, electronics integration, sensor mounting, ruggedization, and bring-up. You'll learn how robotics hardware actually gets built and what it takes for it to survive in the real world.

What You'll Work On

Who We're Looking For

We're looking for a motivated mechanical, electrical, or mechatronics student excited to apply academic training in a fast-moving startup. You'll be surrounded by a team that values learning, experimentation, and building things that actually work in the real world.
