At Flexion, we're building the intelligence layer powering the next generation of humanoid robots. Our mission is to accelerate the transition from fragile prototypes to real-world humanoid deployment. We are founded by leading scientists in robot reinforcement learning (ex-Nvidia, ex-ETH Zürich) and backed by leading international VC firms. Within a few months we’ve gone from our first line of code to deploying real humanoid capabilities with our partners. Learn more about Flexion at https://flexion.ai/ .

Your Role: We’re looking for a talented and highly motivated Robotics Software Engineering Intern to join our team in Zürich. In this role, you will have the opportunity to work on different parts of our state-of-the-art software stack: You may work on the advancement of our robot tooling (control, deployment, runtime management, testing), our ML Ops infrastructure (GPU training infrastructure, data/model store, etc.), or our DevOps (CI/CD, build infrastructure), depending on your profile. This is a unique opportunity to learn from our world-class team of engineers and scientists, and contribute to our foundational software development.
