About the role#
Join our engineering team to develop computer vision systems for industrial quality inspection. You will work on systems that use first-person cameras to understand manual assembly, recognize process steps, and detect deviations. This work supports our long-term goal of enabling robotic automation in factory environments.
What you'll do#
- Build and improve computer vision pipelines for detection, classification, tracking, and temporal understanding.
- Test first-person perception in challenging conditions such as camera motion, occlusion, motion blur, and changing lighting.
- Work with synthetic and real-world data to identify failure cases and improve model performance.
- Train, evaluate, and debug vision models using PyTorch.
- Explore geometric vision, calibration, localization, pose estimation, and 3D perception.
- Optimize models for low-latency inference and edge deployment.
- Build evaluation tools and support deployments to assess performance in real factory environments.
What you'll need#
- Current enrollment in a degree program for computer science, robotics, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, or a related field.
- Hands-on experience in computer vision, machine learning, or robotics.
- Comfort working with Python.
- Interest in computer vision and physical AI.
- Ability to learn quickly, debug problems, build, and take ownership.
- Experience with PyTorch, OpenCV, object detection, tracking, synthetic data, SLAM or VIO, 3D vision, CUDA or TensorRT, ROS2, or NVIDIA Jetson is helpful.
Location & details#
- Location: On-site in San Francisco, California.
- Employment: Full-time internship.
- Term: Rolling.
- Compensation: This is a paid position.
- Sponsorship: Visa sponsorship is available, and we support relocation from Germany.
