AI Perception Intern (PICO) - 2027 Start (PhD)

What you'll do

• Prepare data, train and optimize models, and deploy perception pipelines on edge devices.
• Build and run test platforms and benchmarks for camera/perception latency, power, and accuracy.
• Support camera and sensor experiments, including data capture, calibration, and evaluation.

What they ask for

• Currently enrolled in a PhD program (or an exceptional undergraduate) in EE, ECE, CS, Physics, or a related technical discipline.
• Programming experience in Python and/or C/C++; experience with PyTorch or an equivalent.
• Hands-on experience in computer vision/ML, embedded/edge systems, or camera/image-sensor/imaging pipelines, including exposure to cameras, images, or visual perception.
• Able to execute a scoped project with guidance in a fast-paced, multidisciplinary team; good communication.

Nice to have

• Experience with efficient or edge model deployment, such as quantization, pruning, ONNX/TensorRT, or NPU/DSP.
• Image/video CV, 3D vision, event/depth sensing, embedded hardware, or use of VLM/LLM tools in the workflow.

Tools

Python, C/C++, PyTorch, ONNX/TensorRT, NPU/DSP, VLM/LLM
