Robotics Software Intern – Real-Time Controls

About this role

Join Apptronik's Real-Time Controls team as an intern to develop and test C++ software that powers Apollo, a humanoid robot designed for manufacturing, logistics, and beyond. You'll work on motion control systems, sensor integration, and mathematical models that translate high-level commands into physical robot actions while supporting a collaborative, mission-driven team.

What you'll do

• Develop and test real-time C++ software modules for robot motion control
• Integrate sensor data and firmware feedback into core control loops
• Implement and validate mathematical models for robot positioning and movement
• Create software interfaces that convert behavioral goals into executable robot tasks
• Collect and analyze performance data from hardware and simulations
• Write unit tests and documentation to maintain system stability

What they're looking for

• C++ programming (Modern C++, OOP, memory management)
• Python for scripting, data analysis, and testing
• Newtonian physics and linear algebra
• Robotics fundamentals (actuators, encoders, IMUs)
• Git version control
• Linux environment proficiency
• Strong communication and teamwork
• Problem-solving in multidisciplinary settings
