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!
As a Robotics Engineer Intern, you’ll work hands-on with our ROS 2 stack to advance perception, SLAM, and navigation for various types of robots. You’ll contribute to focused components that strengthen the reliability and autonomy of our robotic platform. You’ll ship code that runs in the field and learn how to productize research-grade robotics.
This role is highly practical: you’ll help build, test, and refine navigation and mapping pipelines, ensure robust ROS 2 integrations, and follow strong engineering practices with Docker and modern workflows. You’ll gain exposure to cutting-edge field robotics while working alongside our core engineering team.
We're looking for a motivated robotics student who’s excited to apply their 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.
