You'll contribute to real projects, work alongside engineers and researchers pushing the boundaries of autonomous technology, and gain experience that goes well beyond the classroom. We're looking for students who bring strong academic foundations, curiosity that doesn't stop at coursework, and a drive to be part of something that matters.

Role Overview

Support the build and operation of a CI environment for Airlines on a new MFG test asset - running automated test runs against physical hardware for either the GA line or FRU re-bringup flow, validating test content and catching regressions before they hit production.
