We are working with FleetGlue to hire a robotics intern for Fall 2025. You can learn more about FleetGlue here.


About Us

FleetGlue is revolutionizing mobile robot integration and operation for manufacturers and logistics companies. For example, we have already reduced deployment costs by 50% and downtimes post-deployment by 75% at Fortune 500 automotive manufacturers. We're backed by Wonder Ventures, Autotech Ventures, SNR, and other world-class investors.


Position Overview

FleetGlue is seeking a high-agency robotics intern to work on future-facing, exploratory projects that fall outside the scope of our current roadmap. This role is an opportunity to prototype emerging technologies, evaluate cutting-edge research, and help shape the long-term technical direction of the company.

Youโ€™ll work directly with the executive team to identify potential areas of strategic value, rapidly prototype solutions, and provide clear assessments of technical feasibility, product alignment, and scalability. The work you do may directly inform new product lines, new R&D efforts, or technical differentiation in our core platform.


Required Skills

  • Demonstrated excellence in prior technical internships, research projects, or self-directed work
  • Hands-on proficiency in at least one or more of: Python, C++, TypeScript, or related tools used for prototyping or integration
  • Proven ability to self-direct and execute in open-ended or ambiguous environments
  • Strong communication skills, i.e. able to synthesize findings and present technical recommendations to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • Intellectual curiosity and the discipline to explore new ideas rigorously
  • At least one semester remaining before graduation


Preferred Qualifications

  • Prior experience in robotics, automation, or embedded systems projects (independent or academic)
  • Familiarity with common frameworks used in robotics (e.g., ROS), mapping, or real-time control
  • Interest in industrial systems, mobile robots, or operational infrastructure
  • Exposure to research literature or new technology domains related to robotics, logistics, or systems engineering
  • Experience working in fast-paced, startup, or entrepreneurial environments


Location

Full-time position based in Detroit, MI, with some flexibility for hybrid work. Occasional travel may be required to visit customer sites.


What We Offer

  • Ground-floor opportunity in a pre-seed stage company
  • Competitive compensation
  • Hands-on experience with real-world robotics deployments
  • Mission-driven team focused on solving critical industrial problems
