Overview

This internship offers hands-on experience in a cross-functional engineering team working directly with the CTO. Interns will contribute to projects spanning drone hardware, embedded software, mechanical design, computer vision, and web applications. Ideal candidates are self-driven builders with experience in substantial technical projects. The role requires curiosity, problem-solving skills, and proficiency in English. The internship starts as soon as possible and lasts at least 6 months.

Description

Join the Wingtra team and become part of this venture-backed robotics scaleup with a global and international team of 125+ dedicated Wingtranauts who want to see their actions have a positive and lasting impact on the world. Founded more than 8 years ago at ETH Zurich, Europe’s leading robotics university, our goal is to build the best aerial robots to digitize the world at the push of a button and set the basis for faster and better decisions. Wingtra provides efficient and reliable data solutions to a variety of industries ranging from mining, construction and agriculture to humanitarian organizations, environmentalists and wildlife monitoring groups.

We are reaching for the stars and together we might just get there. Open communication, asking hard questions and valuing diverse viewpoints are but a few things that will help us achieve our goals. Above all we will never stop learning and striving to help each other reach our maximum potential.

During your internship at Wingtra, you will be fully onboarded into a small, highly cross-functional team working closely with the CTO. The team explores new technologies, prototypes product ideas, and turns early technical concepts into working systems that can be tested on real drones, real hardware, and real customer-relevant workflows. See our Search and Rescue solution WingtraSAR.ai as one of the many projects we work on.

This broad engineering role is for those who enjoy end-to-end building. Projects may involve firmware, drone hardware, electronics, mechanical prototyping, web tools, computer vision, machine learning, data analysis, or cloud applications. You do not need expertise in all areas; we prioritize curiosity, agency, engineering taste, and a proven ability to solve problems through building.

The starting date is ASAP if possible (or up to September 2026), and the duration will be 6 months or longer.
