The Internship Position

We are looking for a motivated intern to join a cutting-edge project deploying and scaling OpenClaw within a local, privacy-first infrastructure.

This is an opportunity to work hands-on with next-generation AI systems, moving beyond traditional chatbots to build a proactive "digital coworker" capable of executing complex, multi-step workflows entirely on-premise. All data, including sensitive corporate information, lead lists, and proprietary code, remains within our internal network using local LLM inference.

The primary focus will be building and refining a Business Development (BizDev) Agent. 
Using OpenClaw's architecture, you will help configure an autonomous agent that:

• Monitors market signals from sources like SAM.gov
• Triages and responds to incoming inquiries via Slack
• Conducts deep prospect research without human intervention
• Interfaces with web browsers and local data sets to build proposals and 

You'll also work with OpenClaw's personality and configuration systems to shape how the 
agent communicates and reports to business development personnel through Slack.

What You'll Learn
• Autonomous AI agent design and deployment
• Local LLM infrastructure and data sovereignty best practices
• Workflow automation and multi-tool AI orchestration
• Real-world integration of AI into business development pipelines

Who We're Looking For
• Familiarity about AI systems, automation, and infrastructure
• Interest in how AI can accelerate business functions, including business development

Company Overview

At Near Earth Autonomy, we are building the future of flight by creating autonomy systems that enable aerial vehicles to fly themselves safely and efficiently.  When you join our company, you will get a spot on a team with the best minds in robotics and aerospace working to solve some of the hardest problems in the industry. You will write algorithms to keep aircraft safe by detecting wires hundreds of feet away, implement programs that map the world by processing hundreds of thousands of lidar data points per second, design sensor enclosures that can withstand the vibrations of helicopter blades spinning at 400 rpm, and participate in flight tests to watch your technology in action. You will collaborate with mentors and teammates who are happy to share their expertise and help you grow professionally.

We are looking for women and men who want to revolutionize aerial delivery, transport, and inspection. If you are up for the challenge, please submit your application, come on board, and let your passion take flight.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
