Defence technology residency

Twelve weeks for graduates and working engineers. A cohort of ten builds an unmanned system capstone with drubelabs engineers.

The residency is for people who want to work on field robotics for a living. You will cover the full stack, from drivetrain to Sentinel OS, and deliver a capstone UGV or UAV project. Top performers are considered for roles at drubelabs.

The residency covers mobility, sensing, autonomy and secure communications. It does not cover weapons or explosive payloads.
