Teleoperation Software Engineering Internship

Persona AI is developing and commercializing rugged, multi-purpose humanoid robots that perform real work. The Teleoperation Intern will work across the hardware and software stack to integrate systems and ensure reliable robot movement, focusing on low-latency communication and immersive interfaces.

Responsibilities:

• Architect Immersive Interfaces: Help develop our primary XR application used by operators to control humanoid robots
• Optimize Data Pipelines: Build and tune low-latency streaming protocols (Rust) that function over real-world WiFi, Wired and bluetooth networks
• Bridge the Stack: Develop software that interfaces directly with hardware SDKs for robot sensing, motion capture, and control
• Innovate in XR: Build frontend systems for AR devices (Android/Embedded Linux) using OpenXR and frameworks like StereoKit or Unity
• Scale and Monitor: Use Python to build test harnesses and automation scripts, ensuring our fleet remains reliable as it grows
