Remote or hybrid in the Greater Toronto Area, this internship combines embedded software with drone security research and prototyping.As an Embedded Systems and Drone Security Research and Development Intern, you will work directly with the project lead. You will research identity management for drones, moving from simulation toward working hardware. The Fall/Winter internship includes hands-on embedded and security work tested in simulation and on real hardware.Key Responsibilities:Set up drone simulations with PX4 or ArduPilotDevelop embedded software for drone identity managementIntegrate controller authentication and secure credential storageTest authentication failures and connectivity lossDocument architecture, experiments, code, and resultsRequirements:Use C/C++, Python, Linux, and GitUnderstand flight controllers and embedded systemsUnderstand MAVLink and hardware interfacesDemonstrate robust troubleshooting and documentation skillsSimulation or cryptographic identity experience is advantageousApply embedded, Linux, and security skills to prototype identity management for drones across simulation and hardware.
