Fall 2026 Intern, Perception

We are looking for a highly skilled Perception Intern to join us and solve real-world robotics problems.

In this role, you will:

• Be responsible for designing perception algorithms and implementing them in robust, efficient, and well-tested C++ code.
• Solve real-world perception challenges such as object detection and classification, multi-object tracking, sensor fusion, and scene estimation.
• Integrate both novel and well-established techniques such as deep neural networks, decision trees, Kalman and particle filters, or point cloud processing on camera, laser, radar, and ultrasound data.
• Collaborate closely with other experts on the team, including the AI, planning, and systems engineering teams.

What you’ll bring:

• Strong technical background.
• You are currently pursuing a MS or PhD and have experience designing and implementing perception algorithms; exceptional candidates pursuing a BS considered. 
• You are a skilled software engineer with experience in C++ and strong problem-solving skills. 
• You are passionate about solving real-world robotics problems, and you have ideally worked on autonomous robots before. Prior knowledge of working with deep neural networks is a strong plus.
• A team player. You take ownership and work with the team to deliver exceptional results. You are interested in the performance of the entire system across engineering disciplines.
• Ability to build and iterate quickly. You enjoy working fast and smart, and you are comfortable in the earlier stages of developing an algorithm from scratch.
• Hands on. You dig deep into important details such as the sensor driver if it improves the overall system.
• You like working with production machine learning pipelines, from dataset collection and labeling to training and validation.
• Great communicator. You have experience writing clear, concise, and detailed documentation.
