Embedded Systems & Drone Security R&D Intern
@ Arkion-tech
Toronto, Ontario
Overview
Arkion-tech is offering a Fall/Winter embedded systems and drone security R&D internship. The intern works directly with the project lead to research and prototype identity management in drones, from simulation to a working hardware prototype, using PX4 or ArduPilot. The posting names the internship and its embedded and security focus, but states no pay, location or schedule.
Responsibilities:
- Set up drone simulations in PX4 or ArduPilot
- Develop embedded software for drone identity and authentication
- Test implementations in simulation and on hardware
- Document architecture, experiments, code and results
Requirements summary:
- Hands-on drone or robotics development with PX4 or ArduPilot
- C/C++, Python, Linux and Git
- Knowledge of flight controllers, embedded systems and MAVLink
- Strong troubleshooting and technical documentation skills

Work directly with the project lead to research and prototype identity management embedded in drones, progressing from simulation to a working hardware prototype.
This is a Fall/Winter internship: hands-on embedded and security work, tested in simulation and on real hardware.
Responsibilities
What you’ll own.
Research & prototyping
- Set up drone simulations using PX4 or ArduPilot.
- Develop and integrate embedded software for drone identity, controller authentication, secure credential storage, and access controls.
- Test the implementation in simulation and on real hardware, including connectivity loss and authentication failures.
- Document architecture, experiments, code, and results.
What you’ll bring day one.
Core
- Hands-on drone or robotics development using PX4 or ArduPilot.
- C/C++, Python, Linux, and Git.
- Understanding of flight controllers, embedded systems, MAVLink, and hardware interfaces such as UART, SPI, or I²C.
- Strong troubleshooting and technical documentation skills.
- Software-in-the-loop or hardware-in-the-loop simulation.
- STM32, RTOS, embedded Linux, or companion computers.
- Cryptographic identity, certificates, secure elements, secure boot, or credential provisioning.
