Who we are:

Argo AI is a global self-driving products and services company on a mission to make the world’s streets and roadways safe, accessible, and useful for all. Our technology is built to enable commercial services for autonomous delivery and ridesharing in cities. 

With experienced leaders in the field and collaborative partnerships with some of the world’s top consumer brands, we’re working block by block, city by city to empower people and businesses to be more successful. We’re individuals driven by strong values to solve complex problems together. Come join us to reimagine the human journey.

At Argo AI, we view internships as an incredibly valuable part of our culture and of our recruiting pipeline. It’s our opportunity to see you in action in a way that is far more informative than an interview. For you, it is an opportunity to demonstrate your skills and character in a real world setting. Moreover, it is an opportunity for personal and professional development while learning something new and contributing to Argo AI’s effort to change the world.

Every intern will be paired with a senior member of our staff who will provide guidance and mentorship for the duration of the internship. Interns are considered contributing members of our project teams and participate in project meetings. So join us* for a unique 12-14 week paid internship that offers personal and professional development, a fun work environment, and community-building!

  • Ability to understand hardware schematics, hardware/software interface specifications, verification and validation requirements and test plans
  • Ability to troubleshoot issues to the component level
  • Strong presentation and communication skills
  • Good in writing concise, clear, and detailed engineering documentation

Nice to haves:

  • Experience in software development for embedded devices
  • Experience in low level communications interfaces and protocols, e.g. I2C, SPI, CAN, Ethernet, etc.  Ideally, this experience includes handling devices at the metal
  • Python, Bash, or similar scripting capability
  • Experience in developing manufacturing software and understanding manufacturing processes in automotive or related fields is highly desired
  • Demonstrated experience with tools like Lauterbach debugger, logic-analyzer, etc
  • Demonstrated experience with Infineon Aurix or comparable MCUs

Our Background:

Argo AI was founded in 2016 by industry experts with extensive experience building robotic systems for commercial applications. Our once-small team has since grown into an over 1,700-person strong company with strategic partnerships with some of the world’s leading consumer brands.
