Software Engineering Intern

Location: Lafayette, LA (Preferred) Type: Internship (Part-Time or Full-Time Available)

About DMR Technologies

DMR Technologies is a Louisiana-based drone manufacturer developing industry-leading solutions for agriculture, public safety, critical infrastructure, and defense. As a fast-growing technology company, we build much more than drones—we create the software, automation, and internal systems that power every part of our business.

We're looking for a Software Engineering Intern who enjoys building things, learning quickly, and leveraging modern AI development tools to solve real-world business problems.

What You'll Do

As a Software Engineering Intern, you'll work directly with company leadership to design and develop internal software that improves efficiency across the organization. Projects move quickly, and your work will be used by real employees and customers.

Projects may include:

Building features for DMR's custom internal ERP platform

Developing web applications using JavaScript and React

Creating internal business tools and workflow automation

Assisting with website development and content updates

Developing customer-facing and internal web applications

Building and configuring AI-powered agents and chatbots using platforms such as Open Claw

Integrating APIs and third-party software

Assisting with light UI/UX improvements and basic graphic design

Troubleshooting, testing, and improving existing software solutions

No two weeks are exactly alike, and interns are encouraged to contribute ideas and own projects from concept through deployment.

Preferred Qualifications

Currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field

Experience with JavaScript

Familiarity with React

Basic understanding of HTML and CSS

Comfortable using Git or other version control systems

Strong problem-solving skills

Self-motivated and eager to learn new technologies

Bonus Experience

Experience with any of the following is a plus:

TypeScript

Node.js

REST APIs

SQL databases

Python

Mobile app development

UI/UX design

WordPress or website management

AI-assisted development tools such as Claude, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf, or similar

Prompt engineering and AI workflow automation

What We're Looking For

We care less about checking every technical box and more about finding someone who loves building software.

The ideal candidate:

Enjoys figuring things out independently

Learns new technologies quickly

Isn't afraid to experiment

Can turn ideas into working software

Uses AI tools effectively while still understanding the code they're writing

Communicates well with both technical and non-technical teammates

Why DMR?

As an intern, you won't spend your summer fixing minor bugs or working on isolated assignments. You'll build software that is actively used throughout the company and have direct exposure to executive leadership, product development, manufacturing, sales, and operations.

You'll gain hands-on experience with:

Modern JavaScript development

React applications

AI-assisted software development

Business software architecture

Rapid product development

Startup technology culture

Real-world problem solving

If you're excited about building software, experimenting with AI, and seeing your work make an immediate impact, we'd love to meet you.
