Frontend Software Engineer Intern - Summer 2027

Skydio's mission is to make the world safer and more efficient through autonomous drones. Public safety, critical infrastructure, and enterprise customers rely on Remote Flight Deck (RFD), Skydio's browser-based piloting experience, to get eyes on the scene in seconds and coordinate a response. As a frontend intern on the RFD Platform team, you will help build that experience. The RFD Platform team builds the browser platform every remote pilot uses: live video, telemetry, the map, and flight controls. Project examples include building on the multi-cockpit view, shipping a click-to-focus camera control, adding a flight-path breadcrumbs map layer, and rendering AR bounds around subject tracks from the vehicle.

Design and implement pilot-facing features that help operators make faster, safer decisions while flying; Collaborate across functions (product managers, designers, engineers, and support) to deliver high-quality, impactful features to customers; Ship production features with engineers, designers, and product managers
