SLAM / Computer Vision Intern
Team: Software
Location: Zürich
Commitment: Internship
Workplace Type: onsite
RIVR, part of Amazon is a robotics company pioneering Physical AI through real-world doorstep delivery. Founded in 2024 as an ETH Zurich spin-off, RIVR, part of Amazon developed wheeled-legged robots designed to operate in complex, unstructured environments such as stairs, gates, doors, and uneven urban terrain. We believe that achieving general physical intelligence requires solving real customer problems in the real world, where robots can learn from rich operational data at scale.
Following our acquisition by Amazon in March 2026, we are continuing this mission with greater reach and speed. By combining custom robot hardware, onboard autonomy, and cloud-based coordination, RIVR, part of Amazon is building the next generation of safe, reliable autonomous robots for last-mile delivery.
Important Notice: For this position, we can unfortunately only accept applications from citizens of Schengen Area countries. This restriction does not apply to ETHZ and EPFL students who are required to complete compulsory internships as part of their studies.Job Description
As a SLAM Intern, you will join our team to advance the localization and mapping capabilities of our last-mile delivery robot. Your work will directly shape how our robot perceives and navigates complex urban environments — from benchmarking existing approaches to prototyping novel algorithms and validating them on hardware. This role offers hands-on experience in spatial perception, algorithm development, and real-world deployment within a dynamic and collaborative environment. We are committed to finding and nurturing exceptional talent; our internships are a key pathway to recruiting outstanding graduates who can make a significant impact in our team.
