Drone Engineering Internship

Take a drone from an initial design to an integrated unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). This hands-on internship combines electronics, 3D-printed components, mechanical assembly, and onboard video software in one end-to-end project.

You will install our core product, Kerberos Agent, on the onboard computer to capture video and expose camera streams, then connect that footage to our automated workflows for processing through AI models.

This internship is full-time and onsite at our Ghent office, with a minimum duration of 4 months. It is intended for students pursuing or graduates holding a bachelor's or master's degree in electronics.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop a drone from scratch, selecting compatible electronics, propulsion, flight-control, camera, and onboard-computing components.
• Design and 3D print the components needed for the drone, then assemble and integrate the mechanical and electronic parts.
• Bring up and test the assembled UAV, documenting wiring, power requirements, component choices, and safe operating procedures.
• Install and configure Kerberos Agent on the onboard computer to capture video and expose streams from the drone camera.
• Connect the video streams and recordings to our automated workflows for processing through AI models.
• Validate the complete path from camera capture to AI output, and deliver a documented prototype and team demonstration.

Qualifications

• You are pursuing or hold a bachelor's or master's degree in electronics.
• You can commit to a minimum of 4 months, working full-time onsite in Ghent, Belgium.
• You enjoy hands-on electronics work and bringing hardware and software together.
• You are interested in UAVs, 3D printing, embedded computing, and video technology.
• You work carefully, test assumptions, document your progress, and communicate clearly when you need support.

Helpful experience

• CAD modelling, 3D printing, or mechanical prototyping
• Electronics assembly, soldering, sensors, or power systems
• Drone components, flight controllers, or UAV projects
• Linux, single-board computers, networking, or Docker
• Camera streaming, Kerberos Agent, or AI video workflows

What to expect

Design the system

Agree on a practical UAV design, component selection, safety constraints, and milestones with the team.

Build and integrate

3D print and assemble the drone components, test the electronics, and bring up the onboard camera and Kerberos Agent.

Demonstrate the full workflow

Show video moving from the drone through Agent into an automated AI workflow, with a documented setup the team can reproduce.
