Please see the message below from AAE Alumni, Alibek Yertay, about an internship opening with ARCUAS.

I graduated from Purdue's AAE couple years ago. Currently, I'm working in a startup company based in Purdue's Research Park that focuses on autonomous delivery using drones. Therefore, I was wondering if you could pass a message to students to see if anyone would be interested in joining us whether they are in undergraduate or graduate programs. We are looking for students who have hands on experience with drones.

If you are interested, please contact Alibek Yertay directly at alibek@arcuas.io.
