Job Overview
We are seeking a Full Stack Engineer Intern, who will work closely with our Software Engineering team to help design, build, and deploy software systems that power our autonomous surface vessels. You will contribute to both user-facing applications and backend services that support mission planning, fleet management, and real-time data visualization.
This is a hands-on role with real ownership. You will ship production-quality code and see your work directly impact deployed systems. This internship is ideal for students pursuing computer science, software engineering, computer engineering, or a related field, and eager to make an impact on the front line of maritime autonomy.
Responsibilities
Design and develop full stack features across frontend and backend systems
Build responsive, intuitive web applications for mission control and fleet monitoring
Develop and maintain APIs and microservices for data ingestion, processing, and control systems
Work with real-time data streams from autonomous vessels (telemetry, sensor data, video feeds)
Collaborate with robotics, autonomy, and embedded teams to integrate software across the stack
Contribute to cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure), CI/CD pipelines, and deployment workflows
Participate in code reviews, sprint planning, and technical discussions
Qualifications
- Currently enrolled in a Bachelor's or Master's program in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field
- Experience with frontend frameworks (React, Vue)
- Experience with backend development (Node.js, Python, Go)
- Familiarity with RESTful APIs and web application architecture
- Experience with TypeScript, React, and modern frontend tooling
- Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS) and containerization (Docker)
- Experience working with real-time systems (WebSockets, streaming data)
- Exposure to geospatial data, mapping tools, or data visualization libraries
- Interest in robotics, autonomy, defense technology, or maritime systems
