Autonomous Vehicle Control Engineer Intern

Overview

A world empowered by autonomy. We build robotic vehicles to improve logistics safety, forge a greener Earth, and enhance human lives.

We are a closely-knit team aiming to change the world through disruptive technology. We are innovators, tinkerers, and problem-solvers with a fair amount of magic dust. We have a plan for fleet-level deployment of autonomous vehicles and are looking for the best to join us in making this a reality.
