About the team

Droyd builds autonomous robotic systems that automate repetitive manual work in real environments. Our robots operate under tight compute, latency, and reliability constraints, so learning systems must work cleanly on real hardware.

Our AI team builds the models and inference systems that let robotic arms see, reason, and act. This work runs on deployed robots, not demos.

About the role

As a Machine Learning Intern at Droyd, you’ll work directly on the learning and inference systems that power our robotic arms. You’ll train models, run experiments, and help push research into production.

You’ll work closely with AI researchers, software engineers, and hardware teams, and contribute to systems that ship to real robots.

This role is based in San Francisco, CA. We’re an in-person company. We build faster that way.

In this role, you’ll
  • Work across the ML stack, from training to inference

  • Train and evaluate models that run on low-payload robotic systems

  • Run experiments, analyze results, and document findings

  • Learn how model design, data quality, and hardware constraints affect real-world performance

  • Support deployment and testing of models on robotic hardware

We’re looking for candidates who
  • Are current juniors or seniors (or equivalent) studying computer science, machine learning, AI, or a related field

  • Have coursework or hands-on experience training ML models using frameworks like PyTorch or JAX

  • Are willing to balance school and work in a fast-moving environment

  • Are curious about robotics and interested in how learning systems behave in the real world

  • Take ownership, ask good questions, and can carry projects forward with guidance

About Droyd

Droyd builds autonomous robotic systems to automate manual work for enterprises. We design the hardware, collect our own data, and train models that operate under real-world constraints.

If we do this right, robots become dependable tools people rely on every day.

Join us and help build systems that ship.
