During your internship at Wingtra, you will be fully on-boarded into the highly cross-functional team that developed the WingtraOne drone from the ground up. You will get the opportunity to solve real-world applied robotics problems in a hands-on approach, from conception of features all the way to customer releases. Your solutions will be employed by customers in challenging applications worldwide. You will also take part in all day to day activities, including team events. We want to ensure your growth in a professional environment beyond just the technical domain.
The earliest starting date is August/September and duration will be 5 to 6 months or longer - applications for later in the year cannot be given priority. Thank you for understanding.
