Jobbeschreibung

ANYbotics is a fast-growing tech company dedicated to shaping the future of mobile robotics across multiple industries. Join our highly talented and motivated team of more than 200 people and work on cutting-edge robot technology.

The Opportunity

We are looking for a 6-months intern to join our development A-team as of September 2026.

We are building the internal platform that brings computer vision models from research and prototyping into production and edge deployment on autonomous robots.

As an intern, you will work directly with the platform lead (system architect) on designing and implementing core infrastructure components. The system is defined through clear API contracts and architectural boundaries, enabling you to contribute meaningful production-grade components from day one. You will evaluate trade-offs in scalable, vendor-neutral ML platforms, turn loosely defined research workflows into robust pipelines, and work effectively within clearly defined architectural boundaries.

This role combines hands-on engineering with exposure to real-world system design and architecture decisions.

The Market & Our Technology

ANYbotics transforms industrial plants in the energy, process, and utility sector by introducing robotics to a wide range of novel applications that so far were beyond reach. Our customers are large asset operators and industrial service providers pioneering the use of robotics technology for inspection and maintenance. Our mobile robot ANYmal uses legs for extreme mobility in complex environments, camera- and LIDAR-based sensing for full autonomy and obstacle avoidance, and AI for high-quality and consistent inspection results. We develop numerous customized hardware systems, including the entire robotic platform, actuators, sensors, inspection payloads, charging systems, and all related ANYbotics electrical hardware.

Your Contributions

• Implement well-scoped platform components based on predefined API contracts
• Contribute to services for:
  • dataset and artifact management (images, LiDAR, rosbags)
  • model storage and execution (e.g. ONNX / TensorRT)
  • evaluation and inference pipelines
• Write clean, maintainable, and testable code (primarily Python / C++ backend services)
• Participate in architecture discussions, design reviews, and technical workshops
• Help validate system behavior against defined interfaces and requirements

Your Profile

• Currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Robotics, or a related field
• Strong programming skills (Python preferred; backend experience is a plus)
• Solid understanding of software engineering fundamentals (APIs, data structures, testing)
• Interest in machine learning systems or computer vision (prior experience is a plus, not required)
• Comfortable working in a structured environment with clearly defined interfaces
• Curious and motivated to understand why systems are designed the way they are

Bonus Points

• Experience with Docker, REST APIs, or distributed systems
• Familiarity with ML tooling (PyTorch, ONNX, TensorRT, etc.)
• Exposure to data pipelines or backend infrastructure

We are only able to consider applications from Schengen-Area citizens (or any student enrolled at ETH and EPFL who require compulsory internship). For residents outside of Switzerland, you will have to find your own accommodation in order to apply for the L or B work permit.

Internship Details:

Start date: any time of the year and always on the 1st of the month

Duration: 6 months

Workload: 100% (Full time, Onsite)

Who can apply:

• EU applicants for internships
• The internship can be voluntary
• A work permit is not required but the candidate needs a residence permit
• Must be enrolled in a University
• Non-EU applicants for internships
• Internship must be mandatory (supported by a letter from a university)
• A work permit is required
• Must reside in CH

What We Offer:

• Hands‑on experience working on advanced locomotion software
• Mentorship from industry experts
• Opportunities to contribute to innovative projects
• A dynamic and collaborative work environment
• Potential for future full-time opportunities

We offer you a very exciting and dynamic work environment, the opportunity to become part of a fast-growing company and an ambitious team that is on a mission to change the industrial inspection market, a chance to leverage your experience and bring in your own ideas, a fair market salary, an attractive employee stock ownership plan, and a job in the city of Zurich.

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
