We are a dynamic team of engineers roboticists designers and technologists who are passionate about unlocking the creative and economic potential of industrial robotics.

Role

In this role you will focus on optimizing state-of-the-art computer vision and deep learning models for deployment in industrial settings. You will research and apply techniques to compress complex models making them smaller and faster while maintaining high accuracy. You will work on implementing knowledge distillation and quantization strategies to adapt these models for specific hardware constraints. Throughout your internship you will design experiments to evaluate performance trade-offs between speed size and precision and you will collaborate with the team to integrate these optimized models into our production software stack.

How your work moves the mission forward

  • Accelerate the deployment of advanced perception capabilities by significantly reducing model latency and memory footprint.
  • Enable real-time robotic control and decision-making by ensuring complex models run efficiently on constrained edge hardware.
  • Identify and validate novel optimization methods that define the future standard for our machine learning pipelines.

Skills you will need to be successful

  • Currently pursuing a PhD or Masters degree in Computer Science Electrical Engineering Robotics or a related technical field.
  • Experience with Python and major deep learning frameworks (e.g. PyTorch JAX or TensorFlow).
  • Theoretical understanding and practical experience with model compression techniques specifically knowledge distillation and quantization.
  • Experience training and evaluating deep learning models for computer vision tasks (e.g. Transformers CNNs).
  • Ability to analyze experimental data to diagnose performance bottlenecks and report findings clearly.
  • In addition to the salary range below this full-time position is eligible for bonus equity benefits. Your recruiter will share more about the specific salary range bonus equity for your targeted location and role during the hiring process.
