About EmergentEmergent is a Delft-based company dedicated to revolutionizing autonomous aerial systems for defense and emergency response. We develop and deploy software for unmanned aerial systems (UAS) that enables platform-independent collaborative autonomy, and we build the Counter-UAS (C-UAS) systems that detect, track, and defeat hostile drones in denied and cluttered environments. Our technology leverages decentralized swarming algorithms and multi-sensor fusion to tackle real-world challenges at scale.We have successfully attracted significant capital and grants, and we are working with clients and strategic partners across Europe and allied countries — strong signals of market traction. Backed by experienced advisors, we offer the chance to join a 20-person team pushing the boundaries of autonomy and counter-drone defense, with real autonomy and influence over what we build.The internshipWe are looking for a full-time Full Stack UI/UX Engineering Intern to join our engineering team for six months.Our team is responsible for a full-stack application used to plan, supervise, understand, and control autonomous multi-agent systems. This makes the internship broad and dynamic: you will work at the intersection of interface design, frontend development, backend systems, autonomy, and real-time data.You will begin with smaller, well-scoped features while learning how the application and the wider system fit together. As you become more familiar with the product and demonstrate that you can take ownership, you will have the opportunity to pick up larger and more complex tasks. You will work closely with UI/UX, robotics, and systems engineers, with regular support and feedback from the team.The role will always include frontend work, but it is not limited to the frontend. Depending on current projects, your interests, and your abilities, you may contribute across the stack.What you could work onMost of your work will likely contribute to our full-stack UI application. Other possible projects include:Designing and building features for mission planning, monitoring, and controlConnecting user interfaces to real-time autonomy, simulation, sensor, and command-and-control systemsImproving how operators understand system state, decisions, alerts, and mission historyDeveloping mobile or Steam Deck integrationsExploring 3D interfaces and visualizationsMaking complex system configuration easier and safer for usersPrototyping or developing VR and AR interactionsContributing to backend services, APIs, data flows, and application architectureThe exact mix will depend on the needs of the team and the direction in which you want to grow.What we are looking forYou are available full-time for a six-month internshipYou are studying computer science, game design, or a related field, or you have a comparable background such as 42You have some experience building user interfaces and are interested in working across both design and engineeringYou are comfortable programming and want to develop your frontend and full-stack skillsYou can translate complex technical behavior into interfaces that are clear and usefulYou are curious, proactive, and willing to learn unfamiliar technologiesYou communicate well and enjoy collaborating across disciplinesYou are eligible to work with us; EU or NATO citizenship is requiredYou do not need prior experience with autonomous systems, but you should be able to demonstrate relevant technical or design work and a strong interest in learning the domain.Because this internship includes a meaningful amount of frontend and UI/UX work, it will not be a good fit if you are looking for a backend-only position.Useful experience or interestsAny of the following would be helpful, but none are required:Frontend frameworks and web technologiesPython, C++, Java, or another backend languageAPIs, WebSockets, event-driven systems, or real-time communicationUI/UX design, prototyping, usability, or information visualizationGames, simulations, robotics, drones, autonomy, or sensor systems3D tools or engines such as Blender, Unity, Godot, or similarMobile, Steam Deck, VR, or AR developmentLinux, Git, and GitHubWhat we offerA six-month, full-time internship in a deeply technical startup environmentInternship CompensationHands-on work on real features used in autonomous and real-time systemsThe chance to contribute across UI/UX, frontend, and backend engineeringClose collaboration with experienced UI/UX, robotics, and systems engineersResponsibility that grows with your skills and confidenceExposure to UAS, counter-UAS, simulation, 3D, and emerging interface technologiesThe opportunity to shape how people interact with complex autonomous systemsCommute compensationHow to applySend us your CV and a short introduction explaining why this internship interests you. We would also love to see a portfolio, GitHub profile, personal project, game, prototype, or other work that shows how you think and what you like to build. Your portfolio does not need to be polished or purely visual; student and unfinished projects are welcome when they help us understand your contribution and process.Please also include your preferred start date and confirm that you are available for a full-time, six-month internship.Sourced from LinkedIn.
