About Pyka
Pyka’s goal is to provide society with a new form of safe, clean, and cost-effective transportation enabled by autonomous electric aviation.
To get there, we’re taking a different approach than most. We're applying our technologies to every industry where autonomous electric aircraft can be useful, starting with the highest value and most dangerous jobs. In doing so, we're building game-changing products manufactured at scale, while perfecting the safety, reliability, and capabilities of our autonomy engine and electric propulsion systems.
We design, develop and manufacture an ecosystem of technologies including proprietary flight control software, avionics, high power density motors, motor controllers, batteries, and custom carbon-fiber composite airframes.
Today, we supply autonomous electric aircraft for cargo transport and crop protection to real-world customers across four separate continents and have secured industry-first regulatory approvals from the FAA. Our cargo aircraft enables remote connectivity, enhances express delivery networks, and ensures fast and reliable shipping of critical supplies to areas in need. Our crop protection aircraft offers agricultural services providers and farmers an autonomous tool to make aerial application safer, more precise, and less harmful to surrounding environments. Both vehicles are highly economical to operate, easy to deploy, and significantly reduce CO2 emissions in their respective industries.
What you work on at Pyka makes people’s lives better now and brings the future of electric aviation one step closer each day.
About the Internship
We're looking for curious, driven software engineering students who want to work on real systems operating in the real world. As a Software Engineering Intern at Pyka, you'll be embedded directly within our Software Engineering team and take ownership of a focused project that supports our autonomous electric aircraft and the systems around them.
We hire strong interns first, then match each person to a project based on interests, strengths, and current company needs. Because the team is small and highly collaborative, you'll see how decisions are made, how systems evolve, and how software is tested and used in the field. You'll work closely with senior engineers who provide day-to-day guidance while trusting you with real responsibility.
This isn't busywork. You'll contribute directly to systems used in simulation, testing, and flight operations, and you'll walk away understanding how software, hardware, and operations come together in autonomous aviation.
