## About the role

As a Co-Op on the Production Robotics team at Lila Sciences, you will help build the algorithms and software that let our robots know where they are and what they are looking at, so they can run scientific workflows reliably inside the AI Science Factories (AISFs). The team develops the state estimation, perception, and testing infrastructure that general-purpose robotic skills depend on. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- In-progress Master's (preferred) or strong senior-year Bachelor's in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, with a controls/estimation leaning
- Proficiency in Python and/or C++, with coursework or project experience writing well-tested code
- Familiarity with state estimation and sensor fusion (e.g., Kalman filtering)
- Strong foundation in linear algebra and probability
- Comfort with Git and Linux development environments
- Strong communication skills and ability to work effectively across a multidisciplinary team
