About the team
Droyd builds autonomous robotic systems that automate repetitive manual work in real environments. Our robots run under tight latency, reliability, and hardware constraints, which makes software a core part of everything we ship.
Our software team builds the systems that connect models to hardware, manage fleets, and keep robots operating in production.
About the role
As a Software Engineering Intern at Droyd, you’ll work across our backend and systems software stack. You’ll help build the infrastructure that powers learning, inference, control, and fleet operations for our robotic arms.
This role is based in San Francisco, CA. We’re an in-person company. We build faster that way.
In this role, you’ll
Design and implement backend systems that integrate AI models with robotic hardware
Work on projects such as data pipelines, embedded and systems software, observability tooling, and fleet infrastructure
Help build and optimize low-latency streaming and video processing pipelines
Support integrations with external robotic systems, including ROS2 nodes and hardware interfaces
We’re looking for candidates who
Are current juniors or seniors (or equivalent) studying computer science, computer engineering, or a related field
Are comfortable programming in languages such as Python, C++, or Rust
Have interest or experience in systems programming, embedded software, or robotics
Are willing to balance school and work in a fast-paced environment
Take ownership, learn quickly, and can carry projects forward with guidance
Nice to have
Experience with Linux systems, networking, or process management
Exposure to hardware interfaces such as UART, I2C, CAN, or similar protocols
Familiarity with cloud platforms, CI/CD, or real-time systems
About Droyd
Droyd builds autonomous robotic systems to automate manual work for enterprises. We design the hardware, write the control and software stack, and deploy robots that operate in real production environments.
If we do this right, robots stop being demos and start being tools people rely on every day.
Join us and help build systems that ship.
