Apprenticeship

We're building safety-enhancing technology for aviation that will save lives. Automated aviation systems will enable a future where air transportation is safer, more convenient and fundamentally transformative to the way goods - and eventually people - move around the planet. We are a team of mission-driven engineers with experience across aerospace, robotics and self-driving cars working to make this future a reality.

Reliable Robotics offers summer apprenticeships with a focus on Flight Software, Avionics, or Mechanical Engineering to current high school students. No experience is required; applicants are selected based on interest and ability to learn.

Our apprenticeship program provides a supportive and collaborative environment where you can explore the latest technologies and expand your skillset. Past apprentices have worked on projects that run on real-time computers, crunch through mountains of data in the blink of an eye, or display information from the internet to help pilots make decisions about incoming weather. Imagine working alongside seasoned professionals who are passionate about sharing their knowledge and guiding the next generation of tech talent. As an Apprentice, you'll receive personalized mentorship from experienced engineers who will help you hone your skills and navigate the complexities of real-world projects.

• 16 years old at start of apprenticeship + attitude and aptitude, no prior experience or GPA requirements

• Need parent/guardian consent to participate

• Transportation to Mountain View (all apprenticeships are onsite)

This isn't just another summer job - it's a real opportunity to learn from the best in the business and gain invaluable experience in the exciting world of Software, Avionics, Integration and Mechanical Engineering.
