Robotics Software Intern

Amazon RIVR is a robotics company pioneering Physical AI through real-world doorstep delivery. Founded in 2024 as an ETH Zurich spin-off, RIVR developed wheeled-legged robots designed to operate in complex, unstructured environments such as stairs, gates, doors, and uneven urban terrain. We believe that achieving general physical intelligence requires solving real customer problems in the real world, where robots can learn from rich operational data at scale.

Following our acquisition by Amazon in March 2026, we are continuing this mission with greater reach and speed. By combining custom robot hardware, onboard autonomy, and cloud-based coordination, Amazon RIVR is building the next generation of safe, reliable autonomous robots for last-mile delivery.

As a Robotics Platform Software Intern, you will assist the software engineering team in developing and implementing software solutions for robotic systems that fall outside the algorithmic components, but are vital to orchestrate the end-to-end functionality of the system. This can encompass everything from low-level control to robot-to-cloud communication. This position provides an immersive environment to own software integration as well as the development and troubleshooting of new features. You will get hands-on with our robots, solving complex challenges to ensure they run reliably and deliver real-world results. We are committed to finding and nurturing exceptional talent; our internships are a key pathway to recruiting outstanding graduates who can make a significant impact in our team.
