Robotics Software Intern

Company

Black Coffee Robotics builds and deploys advanced robotics software for autonomy-driven systems. We work with robotics startups and industrial partners globally, delivering high-quality solutions across ROS/ROS2, simulation, motion planning, perception, and large-scale autonomous systems.

Our past work includes warehouse robots, floor cleaners, lawn mowers, assistive robotic arms, autonomous boats, and industrial robotics for prefab and report-driven house construction. Alongside client work, we are actively developing in-house products focused on motion planning for robotic arms and high-fidelity simulation tooling.

Role

As a Robotics Engineering Intern, you will work on developing, testing, and validating robotics software components, systems, and simulation environments. You will collaborate closely with an experienced engineering team on both client projects and internal product development.

This is a paid internship with competitive compensation, fully remote (India-based), with strong potential to convert to a full-time position immediately after the internship.

What you'll work with

• ROS2 and robotics software stacks
• Simulation using Isaac Sim and Gazebo
• Motion planning for robotic arms
• Controls, computer vision, reinforcement learning
• End-to-end robotics system development and testing

What we're looking for

• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills
• Experience with robotics software and hardware (sensors, actuators, controllers)
• Proficiency in C++ and Python
• Hands-on experience with ROS/ROS2
• Ability to work independently in a remote setup and execute reliably
• Exposure to motion planning, controls, CV, or RL (SLAM is a plus, but not central)
• Talented students, fresh graduates, and Masters / PhD candidates from strong robotics programs are encouraged to apply

Perks

• Paid internship with competitive stipend and clear full-time conversion pathway
• Work with a highly experienced robotics engineering team
• Hands-on exposure to real deployments and production systems
• Opportunity to contribute to in-house robotics products and open-source projects
• Remote work with flexible hours
• Strong potential for full-time conversion immediately after the internship
• Team offsites
