Algorithms Team Intern - Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
Algorithms Team Intern
Position Summary
Teledyne Technologies is seeking a highly motivated Algorithms Team Intern to support the development of advanced algorithms for signal processing, control, and state estimation. This role is ideal for students with strong backgrounds in mathematics, programming, and systems theory who are eager to apply their skills in a fast-paced, algorithm-driven environment.
Key Responsibilities
- Design, implement, and test algorithms for signal processing, state estimation, target tracking, and control using C++ and Python
- Analyze signals using techniques such as FFT, Bode plots, and filtering
- Develop and apply mathematical models using linear algebra, calculus, and numerical methods
- Document algorithm performance and contribute to integration and testing, including benchmarking, profiling, and regression testing
- Use Git for source control and team collaboration
Minimum Requirements
- Must be a college junior or higher, actively pursuing a degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, or a related technical field
- Proficient in C++ and Python
- Strong understanding of digital signal processing (e.g., FFT, filtering, Bode plots)
- Solid foundation in linear algebra, calculus, and signal processing theory
- Comfortable working in a Linux OS environment for development and integration
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with control systems (e.g., PID, state-space, LQR)
- Familiarity with state estimation techniques (e.g., Kalman Filter, complementary filters)
- Exposure to computer vision algorithms and libraries such as OpenCV
- Hands-on experience working with sensors such as IMUs, laser range finders, barometers, cameras, and magnetometers
Benefits & Learning Opportunities
- Direct mentorship from experienced engineering staff
- Opportunity to contribute to real product development
- Exposure to the full development process behind military-grade unmanned aerial systems, such as the Rogue One drone
