Robotics Software Engineering Intern

At Flexion, we're building the intelligence layer powering the next generation of humanoid robots. Our mission is to accelerate the transition from fragile prototypes to real-world humanoid deployment. We are founded by leading scientists in robot reinforcement learning (ex-Nvidia, ex-ETH Zürich) and backed by leading international VC firms. Within a few months we’ve gone from our first line of code to deploying real humanoid capabilities with our partners.

Your Role: We’re looking for a talented and highly motivated Robotics Software Engineering Intern to join our team in Zürich. In this role, you will have the opportunity to work on different parts of our state-of-the-art software stack: You may work on the advancement of our ML Ops infrastructure (GPU training infrastructure, data/model store, etc.), our DevOps (CI, code build and automated testing infrastructure) or our robot operations tooling (deployment and runtime management), depending on your experience and our current needs. This is a unique opportunity to learn from our world-class team of engineers and scientists, and contribute to our foundational software development.
