Are you ready for what’s next?
Come explore opportunities within Brunswick, a global marine leader committed to challenging conventions and innovating next-generation technologies that transform experiences on the water and beyond. Brunswick believes “Next Never Rests™,” and we offer a variety of exciting careers and growth opportunities within united teams defining the future of marine recreation.
Innovation is the heart of Brunswick. See how your contributions will help transform vision into reality:
Position Overview:
The Boating Intelligence (BI) Design Lab is seeking a highly motivated Guidance and Controls Intern. Brunswick’s autonomy and advanced driver assistance programs aim to make boating more accessible and minimize stress on the water. It is critical to provide users with features that inspire confidence and perform in a variety of conditions.
In this role, you will help research, develop, and implement the guidance and control strategies that enable these efforts. Specifically, you will work on algorithms for low-speed maneuvers with small to mid-size boats. These algorithms will account for environmental disturbances and actuation limitations of the boat.
At Brunswick, we have passion for our work and a distinct ability to deliver.
Essential Functions:
Leverage existing dynamics models to develop state estimation and trajectory prediction algorithms.
Research, design, and implement model-based path-planning algorithms suitable for low-speed maneuvers like docking and trailering. The generated paths will be executed by an autonomous control algorithm or a human captain.
Research, design, and implement control algorithms to guide the vessel along a predetermined path.
Collaborate with engineers and designers to create a user interface that can help new boaters execute difficult maneuvers.
Develop and test algorithms in a simulation environment.
Interface with sensor and actuator hardware on a test boat to validate algorithm performance.
Write and maintain relevant documentation.
Diversity of thought and experiences is fundamental when imagining the unimaginable. Certain skillsets/experiences are necessary; however, others can be developed along the way.
Required Qualifications:
To be considered for the internship, candidates must have permanent US Work authorization
Current enrollment in an engineering program at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
Delivers quality technical reports, presentations, and documentation
Proficient in MATLAB and/or Python programming languages.
Preferred Qualifications:
Enrollment MS or PhD Mechanical Engineering or Aerospace Engineering program.
Interest and experience in robotics path planning and model-predictive control.
Interest and experience in dynamic systems modeling and system identification.
Travel Requirements:
There may be opportunities to travel for testing guidance and control strategies at a remote facility. Although travel is encouraged if your schedule allows, travel is never mandatory, and performance evaluations are not based on the ability to travel.
Working Conditions:
Learning Opportunities: Our internships are designed to provide hands-on experience in a professional setting. You will work alongside experienced professionals and get a chance to apply your academic knowledge to real-world tasks.
Project Work: The work environment is supportive, collaborative, and conducive to learning. Interns typically work on specific projects or tasks that contribute to the organization’s goals. This may range from supporting larger projects to handling smaller, individual assignments.
Hours: Interns must work at least 8 hours in person at the lab each week during the fall and spring terms. You may work up to 20 hours maximum. During summer, interns are expected to work 40 hours in person at the lab each week.
Feedback and Performance Reviews: As an intern, you will receive feedback and performance reviews throughout your assignment. We value the importance for interns to understand their progress and areas for improvement.
Responsibility: Interns at BI Design Lab are expected to manage their own schedules, set goals, and seek feedback for their professional development.
