Student Internships & Full-Time Opportunities

New Cruisers dig into hard problems that have a direct impact on our vehicles or our teams’ efficiency. Whether you're an intern or a new grad, you will get hands-on experience with our self-driving vehicles and have the opportunity to present your work at weekly demos.

Learn from dedicated mentors

When you start, you will be matched with a manager and mentor who will provide guidance and hands-on opportunities to contribute to Cruise’s mission.

Be part of a team

Cruise is a highly collaborative environment where people set each other up to succeed. Together, we’re solving the engineering challenge of our generation while making lasting friendships along the way.
