First Robotics Intern information

What is a First Robotics intern?

First Robotics Interns are students or recent graduates who assist in the planning, building, and programming of robots for FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) competitions. They work closely with mentors and teams to learn engineering, coding, and project management skills while contributing to the team's success. This internship provides hands-on experience in STEM fields, fosters teamwork, and encourages creative problem-solving. Interns may also help organize events or outreach programs to promote STEM education within their communities.

What do First Robotics interns do?

As a First Robotics Intern, you can expect to work on hands-on projects that may include designing, building, and testing robot components, programming control systems, and assisting with troubleshooting during competitions or demonstrations. Interns often collaborate closely with mentors, students, and engineering professionals to brainstorm solutions and contribute to team strategy. The environment is highly team-oriented and fast-paced, providing opportunities to develop both technical and soft skills. Interns may also help organize outreach activities or workshops, gaining experience in communication and project management while supporting the mission of inspiring interest in STEM fields.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a First Robotics intern?

To thrive as a First Robotics Intern, you need a solid understanding of STEM fundamentals, especially in engineering, programming, and robotics, often supported by coursework or hands-on experience in related fields. Familiarity with tools like CAD software, programming languages (such as Java or Python), and robotics kits (e.g., FIRST Robotics Competition control systems) is typically required. Strong teamwork, problem-solving skills, and effective communication help you collaborate and innovate within diverse teams. These skills and qualities are essential for successfully designing, building, and programming robots while contributing positively to team projects and competitions.

Job description

Reinforcement Learning Engineering Intern
Location: Downtown Pensacola, FL
Type: Full-time Internship, 40 hours/week
About the Internship
The Reinforcement Learning Engineering Internship is an opportunity for Bachelors and Masters candidate students to join and contribute to the Persona team as we develop our industrial humanoids. Our objective is to provide each intern with a positive learning environment, hands-on experience with humanoids, and ownership over their own project direction. We are looking for students with an excitement for learning, technical excellence, and creative problem-solving skills.
Each intern will have a designated mentor to provide guidance and assistance in developing and making progress towards a target goal. We have a strong bias for projects that lead to software, controls, or policies deployed on our hardware and extending the capabilities of our systems. Projects will be jointly planned by the intern and their mentor to build on the intern's background, extend their experience to new areas of interest, and fit into the broader goals of the Persona reinforcement learning team.
Role Description
For this role, the specific tasks will be defined prior to the start date by the mentor and the intern based on their experience, proficiency, and personal interests. The scope may also be adjusted to fit the project within the intern's time-frame. We encourage interns to share their interests even if they may be entirely different from their technical background. Some example general tasks that may be a part of any project are described below:
  • Develop new simulation training environments
  • Design new behaviors or extend capabilities for the Persona robots
  • Deploy to hardware, log data, and analyze results
  • Create or implement new algorithms for modeling, training, sensing, or deployment
  • Characterize hardware sensors, actuators, and general robot parameters
Qualifications
  • Current Undergraduate or Masters student
  • Software proficiency in Python, C/C++, Java, or Rust
  • Experience with basic machine learning concepts
Bonus Experience
  • Worked with Pytorch or similar
  • Physics simulator experience such as IsaacLab/IsaacSim, Mujoco, or similar
  • Deployed controls software to robot hardware
  • Trained policies with reinforcement learning
  • Worked with motion diffusion models or VLAs
  • Experience with character animation
  • Worked on vision or localization
Open Technical Areas
  • Perception
  • Locomotion
  • Manipulation
  • Motion Planning
  • Imitation Learning
  • Motion Retargeting
  • Sim-to-Real Modeling
Application Timeline
We are accepting applications on a rolling basis. We will interview and make offers for upcoming intern cohorts until we fill all openings. We will close the application process for an upcoming cohort approximately 3 months before the start of the cohort and recommend applying approximately 6 months in advance.
Note: we are no longer accepting applications for Fall 2026.
The interview process we are currently following involves two interviews. First, a phone pre-screen with a member of our staff. Second, a presentation and discussion interview with one to two of our engineers. The presentation is meant to be informal and give an opportunity for you to share your background, experiences, and interests. We like the chance to see pictures and videos of your projects and hear what part of robotics excites you most! We will also give an overview of the work we are doing here at Persona AI and leave time for you to ask us questions.
We aim to get back to you as soon as we can but it may take a few weeks, especially in between cohorts. Please know we are working on it and will get back to every application!
