Part-time (1-2 months)

US citizen/visa only

About Us We’re an early-stage robotics and AI startup on a mission to make it dramatically easier for companies to apply physical AI to real-world robots. We focus on robotic manipulation with a mission to help engineers seamlessly integrate AI into robots and drastically reduce the cost and complexity of robot programming and deployment compared to traditional methods.

We’re now looking for a hands-on, entrepreneurial Short Term Engineering Intern to help with data collection for robotic training. We’re especially excited to meet candidates with strong software engineering, robotics and/or AI/ML expertise who are passionate about robotics and eager to turn cutting-edge research into real-world products.

About Our Internship Program

We're looking for ambitious interns who want to make a real impact. You'll work hands-on with egocentric data capture for training AI models and teaching robots new skills.

You'll be mentored directly by our CEO and CTO with decades of experience in AI+robotics, working with founders who are in the technical trenches alongside you.

Work remotely with flexibility, come together in person up to once a week, and get hands-on training at MassRobotics, one of the premier robotics hubs in the world. 

Ultimately, you'll leave with the kind of AI and robotics experience that's impressive on a resume because it actually was impressive to earn.

Who You Are

• Industry or academic experience with data science, AI/ML, robotic manipulation, automation systems, or controls 
• Startup mindset - adaptable and comfortable with ambiguity, rapid iteration, and wearing many hats in a fast paced environment
• You thrive in a high-autonomy, fast paced environment. 
• You take ownership and don’t need to be micromanaged on what the top priorities are at any given moment.
• You’re hungry to make a huge impact, personal growth, and like to have fun 
• You enjoy getting you hands dirty across the whole stack ML stack from R&D through production
• Deeply passionate about the latest in AI and robotics

What You’ll Do

• Capture egocentric data from human demonstrations to train AI models for robots
• Evaluate datasets to ensure data quality before ingesting the data into our AI models
• Keep up with cutting edge research on robot learning (VLA’s, Imitation Learning, RL etc.) and evaluate them to improve our stack
• Build data pipelines and infrastructure for real world robot deployments

Who Should Apply We welcome candidates from a range of backgrounds, including experienced robotics engineers, software engineers, and robotics researchers looking to transition into startups.

We are unable to sponsor visas at this time

Requirements

• BS, MS or PhD in Computer Science, Data Science, Machine Learning, Robotics, or a related field
• Can work in person in Boston, MA without visa sponsorship
• Have permission from academic advisor(s) to work part-time (if needed)

Bonus Points

• Familiarity with sensors, manufacturing, and industrial automation
• Prior work on real-time ML inference, Sim2Real, VR/AR and/or data curation
• Prior experience in early-stage startups
• Experienced with model training, deployment, and maintenance 
• Strong skills in AI models and ML, software programming (Python), deep learning and related tools (e.g. Pytorch, Tensorflow, Isaac Sim etc.)
• Deep knowledge of VLA’s, Diffusion models, and cutting-edge techniques in AI
• Experience with data collection, data pipelines, and complex system architectures for real-world applications
