The Drone Tinkerers Internship Program is designed for individuals interested in gaining hands-on experience in drone and robotics systems. This program focuses on practical exposure to real-world engineering challenges across software, embedded systems, and mechanical design.

Interns will actively work on live projects involving UAV systems, contributing to development, testing, and optimization of real engineering solutions.

Requirements

Candidates should have skills or interest in at least one of the following domains:

Python / Software Development

- Robust programming fundamentals (data structures, logic building)

- Experience with Python (scripting, automation)

- Basic knowledge of OpenCV / computer vision (image processing, tracking)

- Experience with Raspberry Pi

C++ / Embedded Systems

- Good understanding of C/C++ programming

- Experience with microcontrollers (Arduino, STM32, ESP32, etc.)

- Hardware interfacing (sensors, motors, IMU, etc.)

- Communication protocols (UART, I2C, SPI)

CAD / Mechanical Design





- Proficiency in CAD tools (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, or similar)

- 3D modeling and assembly design

- Understanding of structural design (strength vs weight optimization)

- Familiarity with fabrication methods (3D printing, laser cutting, CNC)

Note: Expertise in all areas is not required. Proficiency in at least one domain is sufficient.
