Computer Vision & Robotics Intern

About the Role Join an early-stage industrial automation team building computer vision systems to understand manual work in factories. You will work on the core perception system, helping bring real-time quality inspection from controlled experiments into production environments, with potential applications in robotic automation. What You'll Do • Build and improve vision pipelines for detection, classification, tracking, and temporal understanding. • Test first-person perception systems under camera motion, changing viewpoints, occlusion, motion blur, and variable lighting. • Use synthetic and real-world data to find failure cases and improve model performance. • Train, evaluate, and debug computer 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 learn how systems perform on factory floors. What We're Looking For • Currently studying computer science, robotics, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, or a related field. • Comfortable programming in Python, with hands-on experience in computer vision, machine learning, or robotics. • Hands-on experience with robotics or perception using real sensor or camera data. • Curiosity about computer vision and physical AI, plus the ability to learn quickly, build, debug, and take ownership. • Experience with PyTorch, OpenCV, object detection, tracking, synthetic data, SLAM/VIO, 3D vision, CUDA/TensorRT, ROS2, or NVIDIA Jetson is a plus. Compensation & Benefits Visa sponsorship is available. Relocation support from Germany is supported. Location On-site in San Francisco, California, United States.
