About The Role
Work directly with the project lead to research and prototype identity management embedded in drones, progressing from simulation to a working hardware prototype.
This is a Fall/Winter internship: hands-on embedded and security work, tested in simulation and on real hardware.
Responsibilities
What you’ll own.
Research & prototyping
What you’ll bring day one.
Core
01
Take an idea from simulation to a working hardware prototype.
02
Work directly with the project lead.
03
Learn how cryptographic identity works on machines that fly.

This is a Fall/Winter internship: hands-on embedded and security work, tested in simulation and on real hardware.
Responsibilities
What you’ll own.
Research & prototyping
- Set up drone simulations using PX4 or ArduPilot.
- Develop and integrate embedded software for drone identity, controller authentication, secure credential storage, and access controls.
- Test the implementation in simulation and on real hardware, including connectivity loss and authentication failures.
- Document architecture, experiments, code, and results.
What you’ll bring day one.
Core
- Hands-on drone or robotics development using PX4 or ArduPilot.
- C/C++, Python, Linux, and Git.
- Understanding of flight controllers, embedded systems, MAVLink, and hardware interfaces such as UART, SPI, or I²C.
- Strong troubleshooting and technical documentation skills.
- Software-in-the-loop or hardware-in-the-loop simulation.
- STM32, RTOS, embedded Linux, or companion computers.
- Cryptographic identity, certificates, secure elements, secure boot, or credential provisioning.
- ROS 2, MAVSDK, or pymavlink.
