Job description

  • We are looking for interns for Summer 2027. Truly autonomous drones are a new product category that demands a new kind of mobile experience. Forget complex joysticks and awkward tilt-controls: we are crafting completely novel interactions that leverage Skydio’s onboard intelligence to empower a much broader, more diverse audience of drone users
  • An ideal intern candidate is a senior, or MS-level college student with practical project and/or industry experience developing mobile applications on Android
  • Design, prototype, and refine advanced drone interfaces, and then polish a consistent mobile experience for release to the world
  • Contribute to the development of user interfaces for the world’s most advanced autonomous flying camera
  • Combine your knowledge of Android ecosystems with our Drone Intelligence API to help create a new gold standard for what a drone app should be
  • Improve user experiences by incorporating augmented reality, in-app content creation, and sharing capabilities
  • Iterate on designs based on user feedback, internal testing, and your own experiences piloting Skydio drones
  • You have a passion for meticulously crafted interfaces that strike the correct balance between ease-of-use, elegance, and power
  • Experience in C++ and OpenGL is a big plus
  • Bonus points: You’ve shipped code to the App Store or Google Play store and have experienced the joys (and frustrations) of getting feedback from real users
  • Experience with IoT or embedded devices using Android NDK
  • For Android, we use: Kotlin, Android Studio, Gradle, adb, Linux, and follow best practices for app development using Android Architecture Components and Jetpack Compose
  • You appreciate the value of code-review and other collaborative development practices
  • Ability to create tools and automate your workflows using Python scripts
