Autonomy & Active Safety Engineering Intern

At Oshkosh we build serve and protect people and communities around the world by designing and manufacturing some of the toughest specialty trucks and access equipment. We employ over 18000 team members all united by a common purpose. Our engineering and product innovation help keep soldiers and firefighters safe is critical in building and keeping communities clean and helps people do their jobs every day.

As an Autonomy & Active Safety Engineering Intern in Summer 2027 you will work alongside Oshkosh engineers to develop integrate and demonstrate next-generation autonomy robotics perception and vehicle control technologies on real vehicle platforms.

Depending on your background interests location and project assignment your work may focus on areas such as computer vision and machine learning perception and sensor fusion localization and mapping planning and controls embedded systems vehicle integration simulation or full-stack robotics development.

Throughout the internship you will gain hands-on engineering experience while developing an understanding of Oshkoshs products customers technologies values and processes. Interns have the opportunity to own meaningful technical projects while receiving mentorship training and opportunities to connect with engineering professionals across the organization.

If youre interested in helping develop the next generation of autonomy and active safety technologies for highly automated mission-critical vehicles lets talk!
