Skydio’s mission is to make the world safer and more efficient through autonomous drones
Public safety, critical infrastructure, and enterprise customers rely on Remote Flight Deck (RFD), Skydio’s browser-based piloting experience, to get eyes on the scene in seconds and coordinate a response
As a frontend intern on the RFD Platform team, you will help build that experience
RFD is the product the customer flies from, so the work starts in the interface and reaches into video, telemetry, and the services behind it when the feature calls for it
The RFD Platform team builds the browser platform every remote pilot uses: live video, telemetry, the map, and flight controls
As an intern, you will ship production features with engineers, designers, and product managers, and you will have room to follow a problem past the frontend when that is where it leads
Design and implement pilot-facing features that help operators make faster, safer decisions while flying
Leverage curiosity, technical skill, and a collaborative mindset to help make the world more productive, creative, and safe with autonomous drones
Collaborate across functions (product managers, designers, engineers, and support) to deliver high-quality, impactful features to customers
Project examples
Build on the multi-cockpit view that allows pilots to open several drone pilots at once
Ship a camera control like click-to-focus. Hold F, click a point in the live video, and lock focus and exposure on a moving target
Add a map layer like the flight-path breadcrumbs where pilots can turn on a live trail of where the drone has flown
Render AR bounds around subject tracks from the vehicle, and allow users to interface to instruct the drone to follow a vehicle
Experience building and maintaining scalable APIs, services, and integrations for handling large datasets
Solid software engineering foundation and a commitment to writing clean, well-architected code
Bonus: familiarity with robotics software development concepts
Junior, senior, or MS-level student with meaningful project or internship experience developing modern web applications that connect to backend APIs and data systems
Experience in modern web development (React, TypeScript, GraphQL, WebGL/Three.js)
Obtaining FAA Part 107 certification within the first 60 days of employment is strongly encouraged for all Skydio employees and required for certain positions
