Persona AI is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
Who We Are
Persona AI is building humanoid robots for the most demanding environments in heavy industry - shipyards, steel mills, fabrication facilities, and offshore platforms - performing welding, grinding, maintenance, inspection, and material-handling work that is dangerous, physically demanding, and increasingly difficult to staff.
We are backed by leading strategic and financial investors and engaged with global industrial leaders across Korea, Japan, the United States, and Singapore. Korea is the center of gravity for our early commercial strategy, anchored by relationships with the world’s leading shipbuilders and steelmakers. Our work spans both the robot platform itself and the systems, partners, and playbooks required to deploy it at scale.
We're seeking a Humanoid Robotics Software Intern to join our team in Houston, TX or Pensacola, FL and contribute to the software systems that bring our humanoid robots to life. You'll work on robotics software including perception, locomotion, manipulation, and machine learning systems.
