Software Intern AI ML Warehouse Robotics at Boston Dynamics

Boston Dynamics is seeking motivated rising juniors, rising seniors, or graduate students in Robotics, Computer Science, or related fields to join our Stretch Team as a Software Intern. This internship focuses on developing industry-transforming robotic systems for warehouse logistics. You will be mentored by a senior developer and contribute to the AI and machine learning systems powering our warehouse automation robot, Stretch.

About the Role

As a Software Intern, you will focus on building and improving AI and machine learning systems for warehouse robotic operations. Depending on your skills and interests, you may contribute to areas such as:

• Machine learning and computer vision for perception and decision-making.
• Training, fine-tuning, and evaluating models for robotic applications.
• ML infrastructure, including data pipelines, experiment tracking, and model deployment.
• Simulation and testing environments for validating ML-driven behavior.

Day-to-Day Activities

• Design, write, analyze, and debug code.
• Collaborate with the team to gather, refine, and document requirements.
• Communicate designs and progress to the larger team.
• Engage in hands-on interaction with robotic hardware in active warehouse settings.

Desired Skills and Qualifications

• Strong CS fundamentals for rising juniors, seniors, or graduate students (Master's or PhD) in Computer Science, Robotics, or a related field.
• Strong ML or Data Analysis fundamentals (PyTorch, JAX).
• Proficiency in Python.
• Experience with modern ML or AI techniques (e.g., Computer Vision, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Reinforcement Learning, Optimization, or similar areas); experience with VLAs or VLMs is a plus.
• Prior internship or project experience in robotics or warehouse/logistics environments is a plus.

Physical Requirements

Must be able to lift up to 50 pounds.

Commitment to Diversity

Boston Dynamics encourages candidates from all backgrounds to apply. If you're excited about warehouse robotics and meet some, but not all, of the qualifications, we still encourage you to apply.
