Software Intern, General Software - Warehouse Robotics, Stretch Team

Are you a rising junior, rising senior, or graduate student in Robotics, Computer Science, or a related field, motivated and excited to create industry-transforming robotic systems for warehouse logistics?

Boston Dynamics is a world leader in mobile robots, tackling some of the toughest robotics challenges. We are now a recognized leader in automation solutions for warehouse logistics.

The Team

Our team builds the software that powers Stretch, Boston Dynamics' robot for warehouse automation. In this role you will be paired with a senior developer who will mentor you as you collaborate on different projects.

Your main role will be as a software developer building and improving the systems that support warehouse robotic operations. Depending on your skills, there are opportunities to contribute in many areas, such as:

• Software infrastructure including APIs, services, and data pipelines

• Simulation tooling and development environments for robotic systems

• Integration testing and test automation for warehouse deployments

• Internal tools that support development, debugging, and operations workflows

Day-to-Day Activities

• Design, write, analyze, and debug code

• Work within a team to gather, refine, and document requirements

• Communicate designs and progress with the larger team

• Hands-on interaction with robotic hardware in active warehouse settings

Desired Skills

• Strong CS fundamentals for rising juniors, rising seniors, or graduate students (Master's or PhD) in Computer Science or a related field — data structures, algorithms, and software architecture

• Proficiency in Python, C++, or both; Full-stack, web, or backend development. 

• Familiarity with Git and agentic coding tools (Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code). 

• Prior internship or project experience in robotics or warehouse/logistics environments is a plus

Physical Requirements

• Must be able to lift up to 50 pounds

We encourage candidates from all backgrounds to apply. If you're excited about warehouse robotics and meet some but not all of the qualifications listed above, we'd still love to hear from you.
