San Francisco, CA · On-site · Internship · Posted Sep 10, 2026
- Education
- Currently pursuing a BS, MS, or PhD in an engineering or engineering-adjacent discipline (or equivalent hands-on experience).
About the job
Own sensor selection and placement analysis for a new machine platform, from trade studies through validation on actual equipment.
What you'll do
- Analyze sensor coverage, occlusion, and blind spots; develop or extend tools to model field of view, range, and coverage geometry.
- Compare sensor options against performance, cost, durability, and mounting constraints; prototype mounts and validate assumptions on machines.
- Translate analysis into sensor requirements and specifications, collaborating with perception, hardware, and safety teams.
What they ask for
- Currently pursuing a BS, MS, or PhD in an engineering or engineering-adjacent discipline, or equivalent hands-on experience.
- Solid grasp of 3D geometry, coordinate frames, and transforms.
- Python for analysis and tooling; CAD fluency sufficient to reason about hardware placement.
- Willingness to visit mock construction sites and test sensor configurations.
Nice to have
- Experience with device physics, ray tracing, rendering, or coverage simulation; familiarity with autonomous vehicle sensor suites.
- Exposure to heavy equipment or off-road machinery.
Tools
Python, CAD
