Hardware Product Management Intern

What the role actually is

Skydio is hiring a hardware product management intern in San Mateo. The listing is light on day-to-day detail, but the title and placement point to product work around the hardware side of Skydio's autonomous drone portfolio.

For the board, this is most relevant as an internship path into robotics product management rather than a pure engineering internship.

What you would work on

• Support product management work for Skydio's drone hardware portfolio
• Help connect customer needs, product requirements, and hardware roadmap decisions
• Work with cross-functional teams around autonomous drone products
• Contribute analysis, planning, documentation, and launch support for hardware product work
• Learn how product tradeoffs show up in real deployed robotics systems

What they are asking for

• Current undergraduate, graduate, or PhD student eligibility for an internship
• Interest in hardware product management and autonomous drone systems
• Ability to work with technical, design, operations, and go-to-market stakeholders
• Strong written communication and structured problem solving
• Availability to work from Skydio's San Mateo office

Why this one is worth a look

Internships in robotics product management are still relatively rare. This one is worth including because it exposes a student to the hardware decisions behind fielded autonomous drones, where product work has to account for reliability, manufacturability, safety, and customer operations.
